Our Team

Audrey Macnaughton
Right from the outset of her managerial career in the financial services sector, Audrey had a keen interest in the development of people. She moved into specialist training roles but retained her business focus i.e. the development of people had to be results oriented, it had to add value to the business. Audrey set up 2macs and that value-add ethos has remained at the heart of everything we do.
Her areas of specialism are helping leadership teams to develop business strategies, often using Hoshin Kanri methodologies to guide change and support individual leaders to develop their personal insight. Audrey is a very experienced MBTI licence holder using both Step I and Step II as a key tool for team and individual development.

Through the application of lean principles he encourages people to focus on what really does add value and helps clients to structure their businesses to best effect.

Hard-working Considered Unflappable (horizontal)

Harry Gallagher
One of our most experienced actor facilitators, Harry works with clients to design innovative training courses that use a myriad of drama techniques to explore and improve influencing, coaching and leadership skills.
He specialises in behavioural safety, customer service, managing performance and courageous conversations, particularly enjoying the challenge of responding quickly and effectively to the changing needs of a training room.

Energetic Writer Naughty

Shaun Curry
The vast majority of the programmes Shaun designs and delivers are in behavioural safety. His main focus is to dig behind observable acts to find out what drives them. Shaun started in the area of behavioural safety in the early 90s designing and delivering training predominantly within the oil and gas industry and has delivered training courses all over the world.
What still gets him out of bed in the morning after almost 22 years is the idea of never knowing where he will be next, from platforms to windfarms, from reservoirs to gas plants; each has its unique challenges.

Frances McKenzie
Specialising in organisational development, Frances combines her naturally warm, empathic style with her 20 years experience in leading change programmes to achieve results.
Frances is a talented coach and facilitator with a genuine interest in people and their development. She creates strong collaborative working relationships, supporting leaders to be the best they can be.

Calm Empathic Edinburgh

Steve Duncan
With extensive experience at Procter and Gamble and IBM Steve is an outstanding HR generalist with detailed knowledge of acquisitions, divestitures, organisation development and a wide range of management training courses.
He uses his experience of ‘big-company thinking’ and applies that to small businesses and SMEs who benefit from good, timely and strategic HR advice. From support on HR processes and documentation through to handling complex disciplinary and grievance cases, Steve gains a great deal of satisfaction helping clients through difficult issues and seeing them through safely on the other side.
Considered Knowledgeable Direct

Philip Harrison
Philip uses his training and experience as an actor, writer and director to design innovative drama based training courses for clients. He has exceptional facilitation skills and consistently delivers realistic scenarios and characters that groups can engage with, helping them to develop their skills.
He is particularly focused on helping teams to improve communication and influencing skills and as an exceptional workplace coach he helps people to make real changes to their approach, making workplaces safer and more effective.
Committed Patient Hirsute

James Harris
James enjoys all aspects of being a drama trainer but particularly taking training course participants on a journey from “I’m not sure I even want to do this” to “tell me more!”.
Perhaps it’s his experience as a presenter and filmmaker for TV and radio that drives him to engage a group but then again maybe it’s the fact that he is also a very funny comedian, having written for Shooting Stars and doing standup himself we can vouch for his ability to capture crowds.
Whatever his motivation he is a skilled and committed facilitator who makes a difference on all of our behavioural safety training courses.
Energetic Insightful Comic-genius

Linda Sim
Delivering innovative and impactful training courses for clients takes organisation, and Linda is the key to operations at 2macs.
She makes sure all of our trainers and coaches are prepared and in the right place at the right time and uses her strong project management skills to make sure that all the communication and paperwork flows as it should.
