Life & Career Coaching / Workshops
A lifetime of experience both personal and professional inform my work in this area. I have certifications in Counselling, NLP (neuro linguistic programming) and Coaching. I have always personally ‘coached’ people, motivating them to look at their positive attributes and to maximise their potential.
I work with clients to help them gain clarity, direction, and access to positive emotions, ultimately enhancing their overall wellbeing. Coaching sessions are 45 minutes long, with a recommended minimum of four to six sessions. This ensures we have enough time to create meaningful change and build momentum, so clients can start seeing real progress. Please make contact and we can have an exploratory chat.
Workshops can be structured to fit your organisation’s needs and range from one hour to a half day. The group can range from 6 to 60 or more. I have delivered my GAIN workshops at Oxford University, Audible, a private equity firm and various charities and companies.
“Lyndel is a fantastic coach, full of positivity and good ideas. She helped me to identify the areas in my professional life where I was feeling 'stuck' and offered straight forward, effective techniques for overcoming those issues, and for moving forward with a fresh perspective. Her expertise as a coach was invaluable to me, and she challenged me throughout to examine and question my thought processes and behaviour.”
Matthew H, London
“Lyndel’s GAIN principles have stuck with us – through practising gratitude with a number of team members using gratitude daily journals, and us all making an effort to connect with nature by taking walking meetings or just those small moments to take a break when the sun is shining. Thank you Lyndel for your infectious energy and easy takeaways.”

Fundraising Consultant
Lyric Hammersmith Theatre
I delivered the Lyric’s 130 Birthday campaign culminating in a major fundraising gala on the theatre’s stage. I re-engaged past supporters and helped to bring in new celebrity patrons and guests who became donors. I continue to work on events and relationships with the aim of increasing individual giving.
Centenary Action /
Helen Pankhurst
I have devised an events and fundraising programme for this special organisation as I work closely with Helen Pankhurst, working towards their centenary in 2028. I am creating new corporate partnerships based on some exciting historical relationships and am growing the individual donor base.
“If I needed to employ a fundraiser Lyndel Harrison would be my first choice. She can raise money from seemingly impossible sources and does it with grace, humour and style. It’s no mystery with this combination of skills why she has made such a successful career out of raising money for many excellent causes.”

“Your authenticity and love, your charm and your ability to put people at ease and create an authentic atmosphere that’s enjoyable and impassioned and right for people to dig deep in their pockets is pretty rare and remarkable.”
