My Story
Hello! I'm Sally Twisleton, I’m a collaborative coach, facilitator and consultant.
Assemble was established to partner with leaders in engineering to help them gain clarity about themselves and about complex situations. I also work with teams to collaborate inclusively; solving challenging problems and enhancing their impact on the world.
Find out more about me and the business here, and I'd love to connect with you.
I'm a Fellow of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (FIMechE); an Accredited Coach (EMCC Senior Practitioner) and hold Masters degrees in both Engineering and Coaching and Mentoring. Finding my own place in engineering has been a lived process and gives me a different perspective. I have not taken the traditional route; being quietly ambitious rather than overtly ambitious and finding my confidence, voice and influence around a male dominated board table.
​
Assemble is named after my first role in Engineering as an Assembly engineer, designing and implementing lean shop floor production lines for aero engines, it also represents my values about the power of coming together to think and work.
Being part of engineering runs through my core. I realised early on that I am at my most useful and energised working in engineering when helping other people to have breakthroughs and leading teams to become more successful.
​
I understand what it means to be a leader in engineering and I am a skilled and empathetic coach which allows me to offer highly relevant and practical insights to leaders and teams in engineering.
​
​I believe there is more work to do in our industry to make it fully inclusive to everyone and for the sector to benefit from deeper, more diverse thinking.
