Cass Coulston is a PhD researcher, which she combines with extensive working experience in consulting, leadership and team coaching.
As a previous Commercial Director and General Manager of global businesses, she has also lived in Hyderabad, India, for five years, where she designed and delivered the leadership and resilience coaching programmes for leaders and teams in global organisations. Cass graduated from Birkbeck, University of London with a Distinction in Organisational Psychology MSc in 2019 and won awards for best research project and best performer award.
Cass’s PhD study is co-funded by Deloitte, a global professional services firm and the London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS DTP). Her study aims to identify the psychological, social and environmental variables, that influence well-being, mental health and performance outcomes of virtual and hybrid teams. The key factors considered amenable to change will then be tested in an intervention study examining well-being and performance outcomes at an individual and team level.
Cass is also passionate about teaching and supports the delivery of the BSc Psychology programme by giving a guest lecture series on the Work Psychology module. Cass loves travel, wildlife and running in all climates. Being a mother of three boys is without doubt Cass’s biggest passion.
