BD TEAM
Helen Tiffany, Managing Director, Bec Development
Trainer and facilitator
Helen is the founder and managing director of Bec Development.
Her vision was to create a training consultancy that provided that little bit more, and to approach learning with passion and energy not process.
10 years on and the company has developed into supplying consultancy services to some of the most prestigious companies in the UK including; ITV, News International, Clear Channel, Random House, Macmillan, Mediacom and a host of media-related companies. Outside of the media arena Helen works with the executive levels of Burberry, GlaxoSmithKline to name a few.
Helen specialises in developing people in management and leadership roles and has been facilitating workshops in this field for over 15 years. Her passion is to deliver engaging training that gets people thinking differently and that creates immediate solutions that can be put into action.
Over the past few years executive boards have engaged Helen to help create their strategy and vision through facilitated sessions and development days. Her experience as a coach also comes into play when developing senior executives as a continuing part of a programme.
Her clients describe her style as “challenging- but in a good way” and “gets to the heart of issues and finds practical solutions”.
With a background in both commercial and HR roles, Helen brings this experience to her sessions to ensure that the learning is always aligned to the business and has real value for money.
Helen is a Fellow of the CIPD, member of the EMCC and the Association for Coaching, where she is also a council member responsible for Professional Forums for UK coaches. In addition Helen is also a board director for Mentoring Digital Minds.
An advocate of CPD, Helen is often to be found attending seminars and workshops herself to develop her skills, enhance the company offering and to stay fresh in her approach.
