About Jose


HELLO!

I’m Jose Franca, an experienced learning and organisational development consultant, facilitator, trainer and coach.

I launched Jose Franca Consulting in October 2019 and have been working as an independent consultant since. Prior to that I spent over 20 years working in people and organisational development roles for large multinational organisations across a range of sectors and regions.

I work directly with my own clients and also as an associate consultant, facilitator and coach for a small number of specialist development consultancies.

Currently I’m working at CooperVision, leading the EMEA Learning & Development Team and supporting the organisation with Organisational and Employee Development initiatives.

MY BACKGROUND

I started my career in sales and programme management for various training consultancies, managing client relationships and training projects for clients across Western and Southern Europe. In 2007 I moved in-house and joined Chevron’s Global Workforce Development Team in London as a Training Consultant to support their business and operations across the EAMEE region.

Since then, I have held a number of mid-senior level learning and organisational development roles at Subsea 7, Chevron North Sea, Discovery Networks and The Walt Disney Company UK & Ireland. In my last corporate role I led the Learning and Development function for Edelman across EMEA.

MY EXPERIENCE 

As well as leading and managing L&D functions across the UK and EMEA, setting the learning strategy and providing thought leadership to the organisation, I consulted, designed and facilitated various development programmes and interventions – from team sessions and coaching to management and leadership development programmes.

Additionally, I worked on various organisational development and change initiatives focusing on culture and behaviour change; post-merger integration and culture; rolled out performance management processes; graduate recruitment schemes; implemented and lead high potential development and mentoring programmes and worked on D&I initiatives.

I have worked in over 18 countries, supported operations in many more and my sector experience includes Oil & Gas/Energy, Engineering, TV/Media/Broadcast, On-Line Grocery Retail, Medial Devices, Entertainment and PR/Creative/Communications. Organisations include: Chevron, Subsea7, Discovery Networks, The Walt Disney Company, Edelman and Ocado Retail.

MY QUALIFICATION & TRAINING

I trained as a Language Teacher at Goldsmiths College, completed the OD Practitioners Programme at Roffey Park, and in 2016 completed a Masters of Science (MSc) in People and Organisational Development (Roffey Park/University of Sussex) with a focus on Collaboration and Collaborative Practice. Throughout my career I trained as a 360 feedback coach and got accredited on various programmes, tools, assessment and psychometrics (DiSC, Insights, Thomas International, Lumina Spark and Hogan). I am also a trained Mental Health First Aider (MHFA England).

I’m a native Portuguese speaker and can also converse in Spanish, French and Italian.

Testimonials


  • All

 Jose is a lively facilitator with a great ability to balance fun with serious messages. Delegates always appreciate his great energy. 

Sally, Senior HR Professional

 It was a privilege to work with Jose Franca. Good professional, always available and willing to help. Customer-oriented and very friendly in their dealings. 

Patricia, Business Leader, HR & Learning Professional

 "I was extremely fortunate to do my 360 review with Jose. Having a 360 is never easy and with the wrong person I’m sure it could almost be damaging rather than encouraging... but Jose was very professional and made me feel totally comfortable and positive about the review which really helped me focus and make the best use of it. I thoroughly enjoyed it and has used the learnings since in many areas of my work. 

Nina, Creative & Marketing Production Consultant

 Jose is an excellent development course leader and facilitator. I have witnessed him deliver results in a professional and good humoured manner despite working under very stressful and difficult conditions. 

Jonathan, Mechanical Engineering Superintendent

 Jose, what an absolute pleasure to have met with you! Your teachings still keep me going and definitely worth the joy and challenge of what it means to connect with people! 

Mota, Senior Account Manager
