ykwlumina is a collaboration between ykw consultants and lumina consulting that draws on an unparalleled 25 years of experience with national and global clients, and brings together commercial experience, experience in improving organisational performance and the design and delivery of leadership development and coaching.
Our story
We met as consultants working for Deloitte Haskins & Sells, back in the late 1980’s. Our first meeting was at a facilitation skills programme run by Sarah. As two Jones’s , getting married meant that Sarah didn’t need to change her maiden name and that we could continue with our individual identities as well as build a family. We have run separate businesses over many years, sometimes collaborating to work together with our clients, but more often working with other associates in our own networks. Over the pandemic year, working from home to deliver leadership and team development programmes together has helped us realise that we make a great partnership. Co-delivery across the dining table works well not only for us but also our clients! We bring complementary skills and a strong foundation of business and organisational experience to our work.
