Dr Alex Conner
Alex’s career highlights on paper include his appointment to Director of Postgraduate Taught Education in 2018. Alex built a community of academic and professional service colleagues who have developed a fantastic profile of nearly 30 courses for the inclusion and benefit of students around the world. They developed a business engagement strategy for employability opportunities, 10 new programmes that build on their research excellence and an international recruitment strategy that increased income by £2m in just 2 years. Educational practice, leadership and research-focused teaching led to his Senior Fellowship, a Media Fellowship, election as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology and the development of a highly successful group of research students who have recently published a paper in one of the three biggest journals in the world.
But by far the biggest highlight of his career was the feeling of failure that came with trying to emulate his perception of academic success. Alex was trying to be someone he could not be. Trying to develop skills he didn’t have and trying to fit into a neurotypical world with his neurodevelopmental disorder, ADHD. This failure led to his understanding of ADHD coping strategies and his reflection on what he is capable of (and what he isn’t). Alex had to be in charge of his own definition of success. That worked. This has developed into his whole academic approach using non-directive coaching to support learners and academic colleagues to author their own definition of success. Alex worked with them to understand their strengths and to achieve that success. That also worked. Self-authoring one’s goals for the benefit of higher education is the ultimate in inclusivity. Alex wants to dedicate his whole career to embedding this autonomy into every curriculum, not only personalising learning but personalising success.
Sally Cater EMCC
Qualified to the ILM highest level in Advanced Coaching and Mentoring, Sally is an Accredited Senior Practitioner Coach with the EMCC. She brings a wealth of experience to her coaching work, with over 30 years of leadership and management experience throughout her career. Not only does she understand the theory, but she also has lived experience. But there's more to her story. Sally has found herself drawn towards supporting those with neuro-diverse diagnoses, and funnily enough, these individuals have been drawn to her as well. 2 years ago, she worked as a coach for a senior woman leader who had received a late diagnosis of ADHD. In their initial conversations, she recognized her own lack of knowledge about ADHD and its impact on individuals.
To bridge this gap, she embarked on a journey to develop her understanding of ADHD. She took proactive steps: Enrollment in Courses: She enrolled in two courses to deepen her understanding. Podcast Exploration: She actively listened to 156 podcast episodes related to ADHD. Client Collaboration: Working closely with her client, she gained insights into how to better support her. Interestingly, during this learning journey, she uncovered her own neurodiversity. It became evident that the symptoms and traits of ADHD resonated with her own experiences. As she has journeyed through menopause, she has discovered more about her own symptoms, which may explain why they have had such a powerful connection. Sally is an award-winning specialist coach who helps people build trusting relationships. With 30 years of experience working with leaders and developing people, she was most recently recognized by Ford Motor Company for her ability to build outstanding, courageous relationships.
