At Paterson Consultancy, we blend decades of leadership experience with future-facing thinking. We understand the realities of leading in complex, multi-generational, and tech-enabled environments — and we meet them with creativity, insight, and practical solutions. Whether we're designing AI-personalised development tools or coaching senior leaders through change, we bring empathy, curiosity, and clarity to every engagement. We don’t do off-the-shelf. We do what works — and we do it with you.
We're not your typical leadership consultancy. We combine deep human insight with smart, data-led tools to support leaders navigating today’s fast-moving challenges. From adaptive leadership coaching to AI-powered development solutions, we help teams unlock potential and embrace change — not just cope with it. We partner with clients who want more than mediocrity. We work with those ready to lead with authenticity, purpose, and vision.
The Paterson Consultancy approach is deeply human, rigorously practical, and tailored to each client. We bring together Barbara and Nick’s unique generational perspectives, grounded in creativity, research, and lived leadership experience. Our combination of coaching, psychometrics, and AI-matching technology offers a powerful and personalised route to growth. We’re here to challenge gently, support consistently, and create space for real change to happen.

We design bespoke leadership development programmes tailored to your team’s unique challenges and goals.

Whether you're looking to develop emerging talent, strengthen senior leadership, or foster cross-functional collaboration, we build a journey that works for your organisation — not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Personal, insightful, and grounded in real experience — our coaching supports leaders and teams at every stage of their journey. Barbara brings unconventional creativity and strategic clarity, while Nick offers calm, focused insight drawn from years of navigating senior roles. Together or individually, we work with you to unlock stuck thinking, build confidence, and align leadership purpose with performance. This is coaching that goes beyond theory — it's about making change happen.

Whether you’re restructuring, scaling, or integrating new ways of working, our approach brings clarity, challenge, and momentum. We work closely with leaders and teams to surface what matters, build trust, and embed sustainable practices across your organisation.
