Because of the impartial nature of my role, I am always straightforward with my feedback, suggestions and thoughts when it comes to spotting weaknesses or opportunities.

The issue or the topic is always in the center stage. You and I bring as many perspectives and angles to it so that in the end you can make a well-informed and well-thought through decision.

Don't let your challenges weigh you down any longer!

Confidential talks

With a business confidante, you will have a trusted partner who is invested in you and unique challenges and potential of your business.

Organisational health check

You might be thinking if your business model is still relevant, you might be pressured by your team to go through an organisational transformation. And yet...you have this feeling of uncertainy. Then, the organisational health check might be your perfect starting point.

Facilitation

Facilitation can be a learning relationship built on trust, sharing and developing.

With a neutral, unbiased facilitator, the groups can find focus and energy around the topic. This will also provide new insights and courage to look at the topic from different perspectives.

Confidential talks

Based on many years of corporate coaching, mentoring, facilitating and leading leaders, I realised that coaches only ask questions, mentors try hard to show and tell; but not many stop and ask how a leader is doing? Even when asked, it is less likely to generate a transparent answer for many reasons; trust, conflict of interest, questioning the appropriateness of such a conversation in-house. That is why I am here:

I offer you that S.A.F.E© space.

Supportive

Authentic

Free

Empathetic

-First you talk and I listen:

You need to get things out of your chest. And that I can only listen. This doesn't mean I won't ask questions or have a conversation with you. There is a time for that as well.

First I need to understand where you are, and you need to tell me what you need.

-Then we get to work:

We work together on whatever topic you would like to focus on...be it a process design issue, someone you want to confront but don't know how, an issue that keeps recurring and you and your team can't seem to break the cycle.

-Facilitating difficult conversations:

There might be times when the business is in a difficult situation and you and your leadership team might struggle with having transparent and candid conversations with the rest of the organisation. This is where I bring my background in ethics and integrity, culture and values wrapped with behavioural approach and facilitation skills.

I guide you, your leadership team and the organisation through tough times, difficult conversations in the most empathetic, transparent, fair and comfortable way possible.

Facilitation and trainings

There are times when it is healthier to involve many internal employees in discussions, be it a strategic business planning session or a future search exercise. At such instances, an external facilitator will create a comfortable and neutral environment and be able to ask questions to create participation as well as a blend of different thoughts and viewpoints.

Organisational health check

Every now and then, it is good to have a snapshot of how the business is doing, how the processes are working, how employees are, how governance is functioning. to look into whether they are still in balance or not.

Sometimes, it is bigger than that. You might be considering to start a transformation journey and would like to pinpoint areas for improvement.

These are only two examples of how 'Organisational health check' can help you.
