About

A Passion For A Better Workplace 

Cartwright Consulting was founded through a passion for a better workplace. Marketa Cartwright founded Cartwright Consulting in 2018 and brought in long term colleague Helen Shelswell with the aim of providing a stand-out service. 

Marketa and Helen’s professional paths crossed in 2007 and since then they spent many years working together as both employees and self-employed consultants. Their shared vision for changing people’s working lives is their motivation for the partnership in Cartwright Consulting. 

They have the flexibility to work independently or co-facilitate with the advantage of sharing best practice from the breadth of organisations they work with.

"I have worked with Marketa for practical support and coaching on team and personal development for a number of years. She is extremely knowledgeable, pragmatic and easy to work with, enabling us to apply theories to real-world work situations and make tangible progress. Most recently Marketa ran a tailored MBTI programme for my leadership team, which has really helped us strengthen how we work together as a team. The sessions were well structured, engaging and fun - even with the added challenge of doing this via video conferencing. We shall be continuing to work with Marketa, and I can highly recommend her for anyone looking for professional coaching support for either personal or team development.”

"Helen is the most accomplished coach that I have encountered. Her positive engagement and natural empathy with people is first-rate and she is therefore able to create the perfect environment for an open and constructive dialogue. After each session with Helen, I felt that I had just experienced an interesting and thought-provoking conversation with a friend. I never felt that I had been coached by a professional; clearly, I had. I have known Helen for about 10 years and she helped me, as Head of Finance at the RSPB, to develop my emotional intelligence to grow as a person, a senior manager and a leader of a team. This high-performance team also benefited from the group sessions that Helen ran to develop their skills as team players."
