Meet the team
People First. Always.
While Kirsty leads UPPO, the work is supported by a trusted collective of like-minded leadership consultants, facilitators and coaches who share the same values and way of working. These are people who are deeply experienced, emotionally intelligent and genuinely curious about how humans and organisations really function.
Our wider team brings strengths across leadership development, executive coaching, neuroscience, emotional intelligence and organisational psychology. What connects them isn’t a rigid methodology, but a shared commitment to evidence-based thinking, practical application and real behaviour change. No ego. No off-the-shelf programmes. Just thoughtful, well-held work.
Depending on the programme or organisation, Kirsty may lead the work directly, co-facilitate with another consultant, or bring in a specialist whose strengths best support the people in the room.
This approach allows UPPO to stay personal and relational, while also being flexible and responsive to different teams, leaders and contexts.
At UPPO, we believe leadership is shaped through awareness, strengthened through practice, and sustained through meaningful connection. That’s why we work the way we do, together.
Kirsty Allott
I am an experienced people specialist, coach and facilitator known for my down-to-earth style and ability to build rapport and trust very quickly. I’m not afraid to respectfully challenge individuals, but I do so with generous support.
Charlotte Broomfield
I’m the calm behind the scenes, the organiser of moving parts, and a steady source of support for Kirsty and the wider UPPO work. I’m highly organised, calm under pressure and naturally proactive.
