Neel Parti
An accomplished trainer, facilitator and leadership development consultant with over 16 years of experience in the public and voluntary sectors.
My career is marked by a commitment to creating systemic change for children, families, and communities. As the founder of The Connected Consultancy, I collaborate with individuals, teams and organisations to unlock their potential and drive social impact. Until recently, I held a senior leadership position at YoungMinds as their Interim Director of Organisational Development.
I am currently formalising my coaching experience through undertaking training as an executive coach with Tavistock Consulting at senior practitioner level (EMCC accredited). My coaching values include purpose, connection, empathy and curiosity. At the centre of my practice is the Tavistock’s systems psychodynamic model, characterised by working at depth using emotional data to tackle the hard-to-reach issues that sometimes limit the performance of leaders, teams and organisations.
As a WRKWLL associate, I have facilitated a number of leadership and team away days including with the Guy’s and St. Thomas’ Foundation, Settle and most recently with the Alzheimer’s Society’s executive and senior leadership teams. I am currently part of the team delivering the Alzheimer’s Society’s ‘Heads of’ Leadership programme, leading on curriculum design, as well as acting as a cohort host and action learning facilitator. As an associate with the NSPCC, I deliver a variety of courses offered through the organisation’s National Training Programme including supervision skills, trauma-informed practice and anti-racist practice in safeguarding courses. I am also a programme director with Clore Social Leadership and an ILM accredited Action Learning facilitator.

Recent clients
I have worked for NSPCC, Future Youth Zone, Thrive at Five.
Whilst at the NSPCC, I led the development of the ‘Sharing the Brain Story’ programme, including the theory-of-change, face-to-face (and virtual) multi-agency professional training offer and ‘training for trainers’, which I delivered extensively to NSPCC colleagues, NSPCC associate trainers and external stakeholders, across the UK. The programme, designed to share the science of child brain development and the impact of early adversity and trauma across the UK, is now embedded within the NSPCC’s National Training Programme.
