Calm through the storm
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Very few organisations today don’t invest in leadership development. They know that if you don’t talk about leadership, bring leaders together, and set in place a set of behaviours, values, and skills for your leaders, there will never be an attractive and well-balanced company culture. Leadership is the key not only to attracting, retaining and developing the best employees, but also to maintaining a forward-looking, yet stable, company.
Leadership Training
when you need a customised solution
The first step is training leaders in a number of basic skills. Research shows that companies with good leadership development practice are three times more likely to have satisfied customers and to exceed financial targets, and twelve times more likely to engage and retain a good workforce. Amongst the myriad of training available, there is no shortage of philosophies and models which can be used.
My training program is based on the science of the brain - neuroleadership. The advantage of this is that leaders can quickly take something from the training course and implement it based on their own particular preferences and way of thinking. Previous attendees have reaped almost immediate benefits by applying my tools to their particular problem.
As no two companies are the same, this training program will be customised to your leadership goals, strategy, and level of expertise. More importantly, this training need not replace your current training systems, but complement them. Having trained young leaders for ten years, I am able to work with you to find the right solution and combination of skills needed for your specific situation.
Leadership Coaching
when you want sustainable improvement
Although training can be about change, research shows that people forget 75% of new information after only six days, and fall back into their old habits. If the benefits from training are to be sustainable for your organisation, coaching can be used to keep leaders developing their skills well beyond those six days. As a coach with over ten years experience in helping leaders from team leader to managing director, I provide personalised support, generating lasting behaviour change and skill development. Todays work environment requires resilience, flexibility and trust - especially in times of decentralised remote work. One of the best ways to support leaders in this complex environment is for them to be accompanied by a trustworthy and experienced coach.
Some benefits of leadership coaching:
- A lasting balance between emotional and social development, work engagement and career satisfaction.
- Positive effects on attitude, coping strategies, self-control and well-being.
- Lasting behavioral changes related to leadership and management
- Implementable strategies to deal with challenging situations.
This aspect of leadership development can be implemented independently to any training.
Culture and Intercultural Coaching
when you need clear values and behaviours
Culture is a buzzword which many have heard, but we are not always sure how to proceed with the implementation of a cultural change. Having experience with multi-national companies of up to 2,500 employees, I can help analyse, develop and change any aspect of values and behaviours which you may require, using a combination of workshops and individual coaching. In addition to cultural coaching, my experience with living and working in the UK, Germany, Kuwait and India can provide additional benefits to you if you need intercultural coaching. Such coaching is useful in the following situations:
- Complex tasks, such as project management, in an intercultural setting
- Leading and managing multicultural teams
- Conflict mediation in intercultural settings
- Setting up or integrating affiliates following internationalisation or a buyout
- Integration of employees from other cultures and countries
