I work with both individuals and groups. All services are bespoke to meet the needs of your organisation, while empowering the participants with tools that can be leveraged repeatedly. In addition to the services below, I can also provide personal consultations to employees on private issues.
What services are provided?
I have covered the details of my most popular services below, but I can develop a program to suit your organisation or unique requirements. Complex issues/problems can be addressed with a custom made solution, developed for your organisation. Active participation or facilitation are also options that are available.
Time is Money
Time away from your work has an opportunity cost involved, so all of my services are timely, relevant and designed to make an impact.

A DIFFERENT approach for your BUSINESS
When everyone is winning, it is so much easier for the TEAM to win the GAME!
The pace of change in today's fast moving business world is accelerating daily. Businesses are challenged by uncertainty, globalisation, policy and regulatory changes, technology, data, complexity, innovation and diversity.
It is difficult sometimes to see the wood for the trees. This can leave the Human Capital over stressed, manic and reactionary and without the right skills to bring back purpose, focus, deliberate action and direction for business success.
While challenge helps us all to develop and grow, too much pressure leads to burnout and poor performance. Developing staff to keep perspective in conjunction with the right tools leads to peak performance, a win for the business and a win the employees!
What IMPACT will this have on my TEAM?
To win a RACE, we need the run the most DIRECT route available at the best PACE!
Clear Mind
It is difficult to know what to do when our minds are clouded and as a result, decisions can be misdirected. Effective decisions need a clear head. When our mind is clear and our decisions are based on rational thought, then we have clarity and purpose to move ahead.
Decision making
With clarity and purpose we are able to make more effective decisions, but to make these decisions with certainty and efficiently, it is a technique that is highly desirable. Strategic Thinking requires clarity, purpose and certainty, combined with critical thinking for true leadership.
Problem Solving
All great plans can go astray in the face of unforeseen events. Great plans allow for obstacles that can be predicted, with strategies to overcome them. But in the face of adversity, quick problem solving skills are essential to navigate away from the unexpected.

Getting to the next level is made so much easier with the right HELP!
Business Mentor
Mentoring provides a safe environment where the mentoree shares whatever issues affect his or her professional and personal success. Although specific learning goals or competencies may be used as a basis for creating the relationship, its focus goes beyond these areas to include things such as work/life balance, self-confidence, self-perception, and personal influences. Ideal for an executive looking to increase their impact and influence and have a sounding board in a confidential environment.
Business Coach
Coaching focuses on concrete issues such as managing more effectively, finance and budgeting, KPI’s, communication, delegation, talent management, negotiation skills, speaking more articulately, innovation, team building, leadership development or learning how to think strategically. Interaction, goal setting and feedback with line management and subordinates are all part of the process to ensure all development opportunities are addressed. Ideal for all management levels looking to improve.
Problem Solving
Group based problem solving does not always end up with the optimal solution, and often the loudest voice wins the day. My four step process for problem solving is aimed at clear problem definition, eliminating bias, out of the box solutions and rational evaluation of alternatives, with “fail early” implementation plans. This unique approach generates more alternatives. Every voice has a say, and follow on action is clear in the knowledge that the most viable creative solution that meets objectives is being pursued.
Conflict and Crisis
Whether in the area of change management, project implementation, restructuring and re-organisation, changes that span the business require special attention. Conflict and crisis can lead to sub optimum behaviour from participants, and the best planned projects can be thrown off track with blame and shame and internal competition taking up valuable resources and time. I will address these issues as an independent mediator/negotiator/facilitator, to ensure issues are resolved and escalations are limited.
Innovation Workshop
Innovation can impact any area of the business, product, process or function . Small or large innovation reflects our willingness to change, and to open our eyes and minds to question better ways to do or create things. Innovating around a particular issue is covered in the problem solving area. This workshop is a fun one day workshop to take all the team out of their comfort zone, and to explore their inner creativity. There are some cool challenges to shake things up, so that they will return to work invigorated with a fresh pair of eyes.
Team Building
Traditional team building days are all about fun. They provide a great tool for employees and management, and have a valuable place in the organisation. The aim of this two day course however, is to take a team (no matter how dysfunctional), and shift the team dynamic to focus on one area in search of excellence. This powerful workshop resolves differences on the team, and unites them with a common purpose, resulting in a cohesive unit committed and focused on a result. It is a challenging workshop!
Making your FUTURE happen
If you do not prioritise your actions, low distracting priorities will come in to take up your time
PLANNING
Don't let it happen! To make good, clear minded decisions, you must come from a place of balance with a clear mind. Being proactive rather than reactive, means that you get to choose your direction, purpose and success. Successful strategic plans come from a rational mind, not an emotional one.
FLEXIBILTY
Good plans are built to reduce uncertainty through a model of anticipation. However, not all events can be foreseen, so no plan should be set in stone. If the finishing line shifts, so should the strategy to get there!
ADAPTABILITY
Our ability to adapt to changing environments dictates our success in life. This is true for an organisation. What worked in the past, is not the success model that will work in the future. With open minds we can seize opportunity and unlock potential.
VULNERABILITY
Strategic recognition at the peak of success is where the greatest vulnerability can occur, but it is essential for the longevity of the organisation. A clear mind is not just for the troubled times, but for making sure that staying ahead is part of the vision and mission.
CHANGE MANGEMENT
Change Management success requires excellent communication skills and speedy resolution of conflicts. Large projects that involve multiple layers of the organisation reporting to different hierarchies, can result in less than optimal solutions being deployed, costing time and money.
HUMAN CAPITAL
There is no ASSET on the balance sheet for human capital. Progressive companies know that to be in a great place to WORK, it is linked to the quality of training, development and opportunity for staff, and attracting and retaining the right talent.
LEADERSHIP
Developing leadership is a key performance indicator of an organisations ability to succeed and prosper. Talent development, management and succession planning require that you arm your leaders of today and tomorrow, with many different tools.
INNOVATION
Most innovative ideas come from the human capital in the organisation; the people with their finger truly on the pulse. These resources need the opportunity to be untapped, so that they can unleash the potential that already exists there.
