The leadership teams and executives
I work with typically face challenges such as:
· Leading their organisation through change and adapting to unexpected circumstances
· Developing strategy in business contexts which are volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous
· Conversing with one another in a way that is conducive to effective decision-making. This means they can be supportive as well as robustly challenging with one another (and therefore avoid habits such as excessive ‘politeness’, inward focus, blaming or defensiveness)
· Respecting and valuing diversity and creating the psychological safety required for people in the leadership team and the rest of the organisation to speak up
· Making decisions which are genuinely in collaboration with employees experiences and ideas
· Figuring out how to perform well as individual executives responsible for specific departments, as well as collectively and collaboratively as an organisational leadership team
· Being resilient enough to achieve increasingly stretching targets with creativity and engagement without succumbing to burn-out
Genuine shifts in behaviour, which are required to address the challenges above need prioritisation and persistence as well as support from the wider system to be viable longer term – my focus is towards sustainable change which translates into the way individuals relate with one another.
I am currently working with clients globally, ranging from household names to small start-ups, to address these challenges through training events, facilitated team workshops, executive coaching and longer term organisational development programmes.
I am also an Associate with Michael Chaskalson at Mindfulness Works, delivering mindfulness training for leaders.
