Personal Bio/ Summary | We live in an increasingly disconnected world. In every part of society, connection and the ability to communicate well are keys to successful interactions. In the workplace, budgets, products, and sales are high on the priority list. So high, that we sometimes forget to work on connecting and communicating while we focus on meeting the targets set for us. And yet, forgetting to focus on communication, and not having the right type of conversations, negatively impacts our bottom line. It is a vicious cycle that can be avoided. In my work, I help executives, managers and team leaders to connect and converse freely to create a highly productive and supportive workplace, through 1:1 coaching and mentoring, and team-building. My processes include profiling tools [DISC, HBDI, CIQ Catalyst] as well as interactive workshopping around areas of challenge. There are five elements to your business or organisation that must be considered. 1. Contribution – What you are known for and who you serve. 2. Community – The people within your business or organisation. 3. Conversations – A confident approach, making all kinds of conversations safe and supportive. 4. Channels – Using the appropriate medium to connect deeply, with a clear understanding of blocks to communication. 5. Co-Creation – Innovation through respectful disagreements, divergence, and convergence. Working through these five areas will support your business or organisation to a greater contribution as the ripple effect of the changes you make will release opportunities and possibilities. Here you can set the benchmark within your industry. But it is even bigger than that! Imagine a world where toxic relationships transform into loving and supportive ones; where it is safe to say what needs to be said. Imagine a world where kindness can be found in stopping to talk, to ask questions for which we do not know the answer – in sharing conversations that build on each other’s ideas to co-create something far greater than either could have created alone. Imagine a world where workers enthusiastically focus on the task at hand because they love their workplace and are deeply engaged in their work community. This is the world I work towards. I help organisations, executives, and managers – people from all walks of life, from all genders, from all generations – to connect on a deeper level, resolve their disputes and create a new relationship filled with possibilities, all through clearly speaking their truth in a kind and supportive way. |
