and

we'll design a workshop or a presentation to meet those goals.

Our workshops are

We are highly experienced in helping leaders and aspiring leaders develop their soft skills – the interpersonal , communication and people skills – needed to draw forth the potential and talent of their people and enhance and develop their professional selves.

Our presentations are

Managing Performance - The Importance of Feedback

Every CEO,manager, team leader, co-ordinator or supervisor wants a team of enthusiastic, energised, loyal and committed people working with them. They want passionate people who not only make the workplace a great place to be but who also co-operatively produce the results and outcomes that the company and organisation desires. When leaders and managers engage their people to work with them, not just for them, this is what they get. One of the most important ways to engage our people is by giving regular feedback.

Work/Life Balance in the 24/7 Workplace of Laptops, Blackberries and Mobile Phones.

We are all familiar with the old adage: "No one on their deathbed wishes he'd spent more time at the office." Yet  in these fast-moving times of change and complexity that's exactly what we do - spend more time at the office, in fact, we take the office everywhere with us, every day and minute of the year! Our workday knows no boundary. The repercussions for our lives are damaged and broken relationships with our partners, children, family and friends, as well as stress and severe risks to our health and well-being. What can we do? How do we get some balance? Is it mission impossible or an ideal worth fighting for?

Stressing Down, Not Stressing Out 

Stress is a word we toss around rather randomly. We can identify it in others if they are acting like a pressure cooker about to explode. We aren't so good at identifying it in those who are dangerously close to ending their own lives. We are not good either at realising when we ourselves are stressed and need to stop and relax. Getting the balance right between a healthly level of adrenalin that empowers us and stress that drains our effectiveness is the great challenge.

Resilience Does Not Begin With Strategies.

It Begins With You

Resilience is one of the most important qualities for leaders and managers to possess today - that ability to bounce back from any adversity in these turbulent and changing times. Yet it is not simply about developing coping techniques and strategies to help do that. It is much more complex. Resilience calls for a psychological strength in people that comes from within. It's that inner stregth that leaders and managers draw on to respond. That's why resilience begins with "You". and with the work that leaders and mangers are prepared to do on themselves to become resilient. This workshop explores seven essential qualities  people need to develop to become resilient.
