Sherry Bevan

A former Global Head of IT Service in a major City law firm with over 25 years of leadership experience, I set up my independent coaching and consultancy practice in 2012.

Since 2001, I have regularly been campaigning and volunteering for charities. Since 2014, I have worked in various learning and development and agile delivery roles in charities. Currently I sit on the board of trustees for one of the UK’s leading membership charities.

I now specialise in helping charities adopt and embed agile ways of working beyond IT through interactive and inspiring learning and development interventions so that you increase impact and effectiveness which that means you achieve your mission.

Services include agile delivery consultancy, workshop design & delivery, leadership programmes and agile coaching for colleagues at all levels.

Get in touch if you want to adopt and embed agile ways of working beyond IT and at the same time develop a more engaged and impactful team so that you increase your impact and effectiveness and become a more attractive career prospect for top talent in the charity sector.

WHAT ORGANISATIONS SAY ABOUT ME

“I have been working with Sherry for a year or so – she has been absolutely instrumental in supporting me to move back to perm and then to my Director level role. I am grateful that my organisation recognises we need to balance up gender in senior roles but there is a long way to go. Working with Sherry gave me the space to innovate, to express thoughts and share ideas before putting them into action! Everyone needs a Sherry in their life! Thank-you.”

Claire Reeves, Director, Deloitte

“Sherry brought clarity, camaraderie, calm and great skill to our tech transformation. With a real ability to engage very different groups of stakeholders, Sherry was a fundamental pivot for the whole programme winning everyone’s respect.”

Nick Wilkie, Chief Executive, NCT

“Sherry comes with a deep level of expert knowledge and I found her easy to work with as did my staff. She helped further the strength of our facility through her review and we expect to use her skills again shortly.”

Duncan Eadie, Chief Technology Officer, Foot Anstey

“My staff have found their work with Sherry of enormous value and it has proved extremely helpful in the overall management of the team.

Rebecca Bennett, Head of HR, Keytree

“Being coached by Sherry was an enriching experience and really helped me grow. Her structured questioning promoted focus on specific issues allied to exploration of a wide range of potential solutions. Sherry created focus in each session so I developed a concrete action list. I’d recommend Sherry’s coaching style and approach to anyone who wants to maximise benefit from coaching.”
