Una Doyle
Talent & Wealth Dynamics
Una is trained to the highest level in the Talent Dynamics and Wealth Dynamics business development tools and principles.
These help clients to achieve greater trust in their marketplace and within and between teams.
As a creative person (Una is also a professional actor) she specialises in helping creatively-minded entrepreneurs to be more focused, build better habits and identify and implement the best business growth and leadership strategies for their particular blend of strengths and personality.
Una loves helping leaders to put the right structures in place to be able to step back from day-to-day work, so they have more fun and time freedom and can focus on new projects.
And of course this requires high performing, trusted teams aligned with the company’s vision and strategies.
Una leads team workshops after which participants are able to:
- Identify the best strategies, tasks and activities to add maximum value to their team and build trust
- Focus on the accountabilities and responsibilities where they’ll have the most impact
- Pinpoint and unblock what previously prevented them from achieving their potential – individually and as a team – resulting in greater flow
- Where teams are already rocking their objectives, they are able to accelerate their flow
- Enhance the flow of communication
- Increase the speed of workflow
- Define the top priority projects, processes and promotions to achieve an ROI of £100k+ over the following 6-12 months

Caroline Topham
Marketing
Caroline has enjoyed a wide and varied career which has given her a great deal of experience on which to draw when creating and implementing marketing strategies.
Having spent ten years in London working up to Group Account Director level for various integrated marketing agencies, she gained a huge amount of experience across the full marketing spectrum creating strategies and leading a team to deliver campaigns. She was fortunate to have worked with a diverse client base including BSkyB, Allied Dunbar, Avis, Heinz, Coca Cola and Schweppes Beverages and Tesco.
The opportunity then arose for Caroline to take a break from the smoke and run charter yachts in the Caribbean. Whilst her husband has salt water running through her veins, Caroline doesn’t but she couldn’t have enjoyed the challenge or experience more – learning to sail; becoming a high-end charter yacht chef and meeting some amazing people.
Upon returning to the UK, Caroline set up an online yacht charter business; owned, managed and sold a yacht brokerage; and re-established links with former clients and grew her marketing consultancy business. She has a great deal of experience within the digital and email marketing arena and is delighted to be working with Gavin and his team.
Life outside of work for Caroline is spent with her family and friends indulging in all sorts of outdoor activities…. the more fresh air the better!
