I'm Jude Sclater, executive coach, trainer and author.
I work with senior professionals and leading organisations to solve two critical challenges:
- Transforming technical experts into confident people managers who can balance empathy with accountability.
- Helping senior professionals break through career plateaus and develop the executive presence needed for their next promotion.
An accredited practitioner coach through the European Mentoring and Coaching Council, I’m also certified in Hogan, team coaching, and neurolinguistic programming (NLP).
I bring this expertise together with my real-world experience in professional services to deliver practical, meaningful workshops and coaching that create lasting behaviour change.
Testimonials
"Excellent and practical"
I thought the module was excellent in it's practical nature and I look forward to taking some of the techniques forward with me.
Finance Professional
Global Agricultural Bank
"Makes me think"
Your questioning of me makes me realise that I need to ask myself those same questions whether I might be making an important decision or writing an email.
Maintenance Team Leader
Global Food & Beverage
"Lots of time to practice"
The group appreciated the time to practice what was being taught so they could feel comfortable using it in 'real life'. I already know several of them are making efforts to use these techniques with their teams.
Emma Richardson
L&D Manager
Carpmaels & Ransford
"Significant impact"
I can honestly say, that your help on the panels and how to come across, had a significant impact. Impact has always been a problem for me, but apparently no more, as it didn’t come out as a feedback point at all.
Partner, Financial Services
Deloitte
I'm a proud New Zealander with almost two decades of experience working in the UK market.
As a former IT auditor turned leadership development expert, I bring an antipodean straightforwardness to transforming technical experts into confident leaders.
With over two decades of experience spanning audit, project management, and learning development at organisations including Deloitte, Pearson, and Penguin, I intimately understand the challenges faced by both ambitious professionals and the organisations developing them.
Drawing on my MSc in Organisational Behaviour from Birkbeck and extensive practitioner certifications, I founded Think with Jude in 2019. My mission is to help organisations develop managers people actually want to work for.
My approach combines deep expertise in professional services with practical, no-nonsense solutions that deliver measurable results.
When I’m not transforming leadership capability, you’ll find me in my South East London garden, creating homemade pizzas with my husband, or deep into true crime podcasts.
