Marion Pidgeon, Director
Marion’s a Director of Delta Partnership, having jointly established the company in 1999.
Her career started in operational HR management roles in the energy sector, leading on to her setting up her own learning & development consultancy in 1993 while in Colombia; she’s worked in consultancy ever since. She’s consulted on and led many development projects with global multinationals. Her commitment to individual development in all its forms, her operational strength, management experience and drive for client satisfaction show up in both her client work and her leadership role in the smooth running and growth of the Delta business.
Marion splits her consulting time between executive coaching clients across a range of industries and designing and facilitating accelerated learning programmes. She regularly facilitates and coaches on the innovative Leader’s Voice® programme which plays into her particular interest in helping leaders find their authentic voice in order to express themselves more powerfully and with impact.
“Marion’s pragmatic coaching approach helped me gradually improve confidence and also build longer-term habits to sustain this. It was a very positive experience and it has helped me deliver some challenging business improvement projects.”
Stuart Pidgeon, Director
Stuart’s a Director of Delta Partnership and joined us in 2006.
He has over 30 years’ experience, bringing a unique combination of an engineering career combined with deep experience of leadership development, coaching and organisational change. He held a number of leadership positions in the oil and gas industry before focusing on a consultancy career. He has significant experience working in multi-national organisations and in cross-cultural contexts and demonstrates particular strength in working with technical organisations and leaders.
He has worked in a range of industries, such as pharmaceuticals, mining, management consultancy, oil & gas and financial services.
Stuart takes his understanding of organisations, leadership and the complex nature of human responses and interactions during change, and combines it with tools and models from his broad experience, to help a client see things from different perspectives. He doesn’t shy away from offering feedback, challenge, ideas and suggestions for a client to consider.
“Stuart can be highly supportive yet does not shy away from providing robust challenge and feedback. He is able to connect to senior technical leaders, relate to the changes being implemented, yet ensure that they understood and embraced the softer side of the change initiative.”
