The Open Space
Hi, I’m Greg and I’m a qualified, experienced coach and ‘People & Culture’ Professional (HR)
As a coach for people privately and in organisations, an in-house ‘People & Culture’ lead and an independent HR consultant, I’m vastly experienced at supporting a diverse mix of People and Organisations.
As a human I take learning about People and our Culture(s) way beyond the boundaries of the office:
It’s been my privilege to explore further: I’ve wild camped, stayed with locals, and hitched across remote areas of 6 continents. Truly humbling.
I’m still as crazy about Psychology & the People Sciences as when I finished my undergrad degree studying them. (MA is in HRM)
The depth and combination of this life learning (ongoing!) has given me great faith in us humans, informing a sense of purpose to support others, people and teams, in a way that is true to this.
So now I’m growing ‘The Open Space’ a Coaching, People & Culture company.
The Open Space is based on the belief that the resourcefulness & potential of us humans is naturally occurring, If only we have the right environment.
This belief flows through all the work I do - always working with clients to cultivate an environment that brings out the best in people - safe, reflective and nourishing - and always in a personable and practical way - being a people person isn’t just a theory, its what I love doing & being.
The Open Space provides 1 to 1 coaching privately or for people in organisations. It provides a range of of 'People & Culture' Services to Organisations. You’ll find the full range of services available on these pages & my CV.
Based out of Devon, in the South West of England, I work locally, across the UK and internationally , in the following ways…

Belief in Human Potential
Wiggly lines.
It’s not been a straight line to get here, and nor does it have to be! I’m a senior HR professional; totally a psychology and sociology aficionado; I love the outdoors and find my energy and ideas there – this includes epic journeys, I once hitch hiked and wild camped my way from Portugal to Japan, through Russia – I also love language and am currently trying my hardest studying Español, and to play tunes on the guitar. I’m a Dad to a little human super dude est. Dec 2019 -thats him in the backpack there!
Why the Open Space?
Supporting people this way has been a revelation to me. I have been inspired by witnessing amzing people work out their problems, envision their future and achieve the changes they wish. To put it another way, I simply love seeing people, teams work out their own shit! It’s a totally connecting experience.
My Approach
Connecting different parts of life experience, enjoying the journey, nature and culture (inc the workplace)
are core values that I bring to The Open Space.
In my coaching,
I use, when you’re ready, and if you’re up for it, a variety of tools and techniques to support goal setting, envision the steps to get there and to gain perspective.
My client feedback and qualifications are linked at the top of the page.
The sum of all these (my) ‘wiggly lines’ is a belief in us humans and our potential: The Open Space.
