About us
Who We Are
Antoinette Oglethorpe Ltd is a professional training and coaching company specialising in career management and mentoring. Our mission is to empower and inspire people to fulfil their ambitions and realise their potential.  Based in the UK, we deliver our programmes nationally and internationally.
What we do
We have created unique models, tools and templates to empower employees to take ownership of their career development with support from their manager and organisation. Every year, these approaches are adopted in organisations including Red Stripe, the World Health Organisation and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office Services.
We create real engagement and learning that sticks by working in a creative, stimulating, challenging and fun way. All our tools and techniques are practical and doable.
We give time to practice the techniques, ask questions, and make sure everyone understands before we move on. We keep the learning fresh with relevant regular blogs, e-learning and free e-books.
Online delivery allows us to reach four regions and time zones. A lot of our clients operate globally and internationally.
Why we do what we do
Research by the Corporate Executive Board shows that 70% of employees are dissatisfied with perceived career opportunities in their organisation. The average person spends 90,000 hours at work. That is too long to be unhappy.
Progression doesn’t have to mean promotions and pay rises. Career success is different for everyone. Our programmes empower employees to take ownership of their career development with support from their manager and organisation. And that’s good for business. Because happy and engaged employees are more vibrant, 15-30% more productive and stay longer.
A manager who attended our Confident Career Conversation Workshop noted:
The toolkit gave me so much more confidence. I did not have to deviate from the suggested questions as they were so rich in depth at capturing what was important
And the impact on employees was equally positive:
I'm going to think more about where I can work strategically and keep in mind what I want to achieve whilst doing my day to day job. I'm going to consider sideways as well as upward moves.
Our Values
We have 5 important company values that underpin all our business relationships:
1. Be helpful
We put clients’ needs first – always; we go out of our way to help other AO colleagues; we freely share our ideas, experience and insights; we are open, honest and trustworthy.
2. Have fun
We create a brilliantly enjoyable experience. We are enthusiastic and energetic; we are passionate about our work. We do everything we can to ensure business IS pleasure.
3. Make a positive difference
We are pragmatic in our approach; we focus on action and results not rhetoric and theories; we do whatever it takes in every situation.
4. Deliver excellence
We are credible and reliable; we do everything with quality, professionalism and expertise.
5. Keep learning
We are forward thinking and solution focused; we are continually looking to improve and develop.
Our Working Style
We believe our working style sets us apart. We aim to keep everything SIMPLE
- Solutions not problems. We help clients focus on achieving what they want, not get distracted with what they don’t.
- Interaction. We help clients achieve more together and by talking it through than muddling along alone.
- Make use of what’s there. We help clients find what’s working and do more of it. If its not working, we help them stop and do something different.
- Possibilities. We help clients keep an open mind, seek out new ideas and explore different approaches.
- Language. We keep it simple.
- Enthusiasm. We embrace everything with energy and positivity.
