Why work with us?
1. We support leaders through these complex and challenging times
There is a crisis of wellbeing, metal health and quality leadership in the workplace. More employees are looking for employers that care about environmental, social and governance factors that effect decision-making, corporate social responsibility and employee wellbeing. More forward-thinking leaders and managers are looking at the best ways to support their teams to optimally function and flourish at work. Employee capital needs to be greater than the sum of its parts post the Covid-19 pandemic, the #Blacklivesmatter and #Metoo movements. We are experts in what creates psychologically safe workspaces through the most positive leadership behaviours and culture, and experts in what brings the most sustainable performance and success to your leaders, teams and organisations.
2. We help you get the results you want
To build performance and increase results:
To develop managers and leaders to the highest level of their competence
To make the workplace a safe space where innovation and results flourish
To make the workplace a place where people feel happy, content and able to be their authentic and optimal selves
To increase employee resource
To increase stakeholder and client engagement and optimise morale
To increase retention and reduce attrition
To transform culture positively so that all can thrive.
3. We are highly qualified; academically and in practice
We take a considered, academic, and evidence-based approach:
We are data-driven with a focus on your individual data and not on other companies’ data
We take a bespoke and contextual approach based on the quantitative and qualitative data you can offer and that we can gather
We encourage you to avoid a mass, turnkey or cookie cutter approach in working with off-the-shelf programmes and embrace an approach that’s bespoke to your context, and that will deliver the best results for you and your team or organisation
Most changes in organisations fail because of a lack of individualised approach and an over-focus on formal structure rather than the social dynamics of an organisation (Lewis, 2011); our approach is individualised and addresses both structure and social dynamics in organsiations.
4. We take a cross-sectoral approach, so you get best-in-class practice
Our approaches are deliberately cross-sector, and we bring learning from across the many and varied sectors that we work and research in so you can be best-in-class. We focus on people and behaviours and leadership, not on technical expertise - we know you have that in hand.
“If your emotional abilities aren’t in hand, if you don’t have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your distressing emotions, if you can’t have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far.” Goleman, 2012
5. Our core values guide us and inform our approach
Curiosity – to turn any stone unturned, to question with curiosity, to suspend judgment to understand the problem, to challenge for the desired future
Creativity – in how we design, apply, develop, and reiterate solutions so they land with highest impact
Compassion – remembering that we’re all just trying our best, that we are on this journey for the sake of everybody, and not just on an “about the individual” journey to unobtainable perfection
Courage – to be brave, candidly honest, and try things out until we get it right
Connection – to recognise that it is in the way we connect with people where the real performance happens
