Facilitating learning and development by collaborating with international L&D consultants

The vast majority of consultants once worked for corporates with an in-house Personal Assistant, IT, Marketing, Finance and more supporting their work every day. When you are a solo you have to keep the business running smoothly and this can be time-consuming. That’s where Helen comes in. She relieves you of tasks like calendar management, invoicing, sending newsletters, organizing virtual workshops etc. so you can get back to what you love – coaching and facilitating workshops. 

Our Services

We offer two main services to L&D consultants: Project Management and Virtual Assistant services. By delegating the day-to-day organisation of L&D, consultants can focus on delivering the content, whilst we focus on the back end of the business. 

Project Management

We support consultants through all the stages of a project: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation (ADDIE). We make sure projects run smoothly and as a result clients, participants and stakeholders are impressed.

Virtual Assistant

Consultants want to focus on what they do best, such as coaching or facilitating workshops. New Horizons Learning Solutions help keep a solo or small business running smoothly. Delegate appointment scheduling, invoicing, maintaining databases, sending newsletters and more to a Virtual Assistant.

Facet5 - a measure of personality

Facet5 personality reports serve as a starting point for individuals and teams wanting to develop and improve their team work. We highlight team members’ strengths and help them discover areas for development.

Genos Emotional Intelligence Assessments

Emotional intelligence is a ‘must have’ skill for employees of all ages. We set up Genos Emotional Intelligence (EI) Assessments and debrief EI reports.

“ I would recommend Helen as a colleague, advisor and project manager to anyone, anytime. We have now worked together for some time and every so often I find reason to express my deep appreciation for her hard work, conscientiousness, thoughtfulness, and near-perfection execution. Our collaboration entails a complex leadership development program in the complex corona pandemic context. Without her I would have had a hard time finding my way in the detailed, short-and medium-term planning and coordination of all the digital activities, rendez-vous and webinars. She manages to keep it all together, always with a friendly smile and patient advice.” Senior Leadership Developer & Executive Coach (Stockholm, Sweden)
