What Iridium Consulting Is and What It Provides

Updated

Iridium Consulting is a UK-based coaching and development practice led by Dr Gill Graves, specialising in team coaching, executive coaching and coach supervision for organisations across London, Northampton and the wider UK. It is relevant if you are looking for bespoke, senior-level coaching or coach development rather than an off-the-shelf training product. The site describes over 25 years of experience delivering tailored solutions.

Core Services

The practice groups its work under coaching, development and supervision:

  • Executive coaching – one-to-one coaching for leaders and senior managers.
  • Team coaching and development – working with whole teams to improve how they perform together.
  • Coaching skills and coach development – building internal coaching capability.
  • Coaching supervision – supporting practising coaches, including internal coach teams.

Alongside coaching, it offers psychometric and development tools: Insights Discovery and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).

How It Works in Practice

The site is explicit that everything is bespoke and tailored to the client's requirements. It also states that, as a small organisation, one of the co-owners manages each project. That matters if you want a single accountable point of contact rather than being handed to a rotating delivery team.

A useful example: an organisation building an internal coaching pool might combine coach development with ongoing supervision, so new coaches gain skills and then have a structured reflective space to consolidate them. The testimonials on the site describe exactly this pattern — one client notes supervision provided for internal coaches over six years, adapted to different proficiency levels.

Evidence From Clients

The published testimonials come from a finance and operations director at The Nature Conservancy (Wyoming), a contact at the University of Leicester, an associate director at NHS Gloucestershire ICB, and an individual coaching course participant. They emphasise listening, structure, challenge balanced with support, and adaptability to different groups. Treat these as the provider's own selected evidence rather than independent verification.

Who It Suits — and Who It Doesn't

Team needing to improve collective performance Yes — team coaching is the stated specialism
Organisation building internal coaches Yes — skills development plus supervision

Practical Next Step

The site's main call to action is a contact form ("Contact Us"). Before enquiring, it helps to be clear on three things: whether you want individual, team or coach-development work; roughly how many people are involved; and whether you are interested in a specific tool such as Insights Discovery or MBTI. That lets the initial conversation focus on fit rather than scope-setting. Pricing and availability are not published, so confirm both directly.
