Our key areas of work

 

We work with people to support their growth, better performance and organisational prosperity, in all key areas that relate to working with others. This support is provided through:

 

·       one to one executive coaching (face to face, email and phone)

·      working in the workplace with intact teams and in other ‘live’ situations (e.g. team meetings, project meetings)

·      workshops (we facilitate these so that people can bring real issues and contribute their own experience – rather than as traditional training programs)

 

For both large and small organisations, this support can be provided in response to a one off need or as part of an ongoing program. For large corporations we also offer this support as a Top 100 Program, working with all executives and key senior managers to help make their organisation the best in their field.

 

Through our work we seek to draw out the potential that’s already there and to enable this potential to be directed towards the achievement of the organisation’s purpose. What we work with depends on the needs that are present and emerge as we work with people. Typical areas of work are:

 

·      Inspirational leadership - engaging interest, generating enthusiasm, commitment and a sense of ‘aliveness’ at work and inspiring excellence.

 

While this goes beyond simply managing performance, it does include things like:

 

o       Defining what inspired performance means

o       Establishing key inspirational motivators

o       Coaching team members to achieve and sustain excellence

o       Developing effective and inspired feedback processes, including dealing with poor performance

 

·        Supporting self and others through change and dealing with stress

 

·       Developing ‘winning teams’

 

Working with intact teams to:

 

o             Develop effective and powerful relationships

o             Improve the quality of decision making

o             Ensure clarity of vision and consistency of message

o             Convert a culture of individualism into one of teamwork

o             Create the potential for a happier, more enjoyable working environment

o             Increase morale and buzz

o             Inspire excellent performance

 

·      Developing relationships with others, including team members, peers, more senior people and clients.

 

This includes things like:

 

o            Competence to express needs, aspirations and desires in ways that increase the likelihood of fulfilment

o            Making deeper and more satisfying contact with people – having more presence, hearing and seeing others more fully and being seen and heard more fully by others

o            Developing greater awareness of what’s going on for you and others and in the space between you and them

o            Using the Seven Pillars of Perception to improve your communication

o            Becoming comfortable with conflict and dealing with it in constructive and healthy ways

o            Valuing differences, and using differences to generate creativity and innovation

 

·       Selecting the best people

 

Learning to trust your gut feel more and using our CORE interview process to effectively evaluate whether an applicant has the required competencies and experience

 

·       Project Management Coaching

 

Although what we work on depends on the needs that emerge, the focus is usually less on the basics of project management (e.g. developing Gantt charts and critical paths) and more on the less commonly covered areas such as:

 

o            Project team leadership (e.g. team selection, performance management and coaching)

o            Avoiding what we call ‘wave hopping’ (to ensure appropriate time is spent on things like developing shared awareness of needs before moving to action and capturing lessons before moving to the next action)

o            Identifying the needs and interests of stakeholders

o            Developing communication plans that involve two way communication and checking the effectiveness of communication activities

o            The impact of the organisation’s shadow system and how to work with the shadow system

o            Values based risk management
