Hi We are Kerry, Faye and Tess!
We are sisters and we created A Brilliant Thing CIC because we know that working in healthy ways is the most powerful way to change how we live and work. We care about the people delivering services, and our joint focus on wellbeing and results means learning and coaching with us creates lasting impact and feels brilliant!
Together we bring a depth of skills in therapeutic counselling, coaching, organisational and community development, people management, design-thinking and experience across charity, NHS, public and private sectors.
Our favourite phrase is said with a twinkle of the eyes, 'I have an idea...'
