When collaboration gets difficult, clarity helps.
Since 2010, I've been helping teams and leaders make the unspoken discussable, and move forward with more trust, focus and impact.
Slow down first, to move fast
Leadership and teamwork often get stuck on assumptions, unclear expectations, and postponed conversations ('Crucial Conversations').
Instead, I work together with teams, large groups and individual clients to shape the change they're after.
In practice, we make fast progress on:
Mission
Strategic objectives
Roles
Processes – decision-making, innovation, knowledge-sharing, efficient meetings and success analyses
Leadership – single or shared, the 4 styles of situational leadership, solution-focused leadership, etc.
Culture – how do we bring values to life, how do we create a 'brave space' or more feedforward in the team, solution-focused versus problem-focused collaboration, how to build coalitions, etc.
That's how we reach agreements that truly work, carried as widely as possible by everyone at the table.
We slow down for a while, so we can make much faster progress.
Services
People value that I ask powerful, inviting questions and give very targeted advice. I also make tailored use of tools and frameworks that really work: participants can put them into practice immediately. My approach during training or coaching is both goal-oriented and appreciative. I like to call this 'care-frontation'. Finally, I bring plenty of energy to fostering interaction and networking among participants - before, during and after the sessions.
Coaching
Unique in the world of coaching: we always kick off an impactful one-to-one journey with a full day. After every session, coachees get tailored assignments with real added value. Between sessions too, coachees can turn to me in confidence. For experts, leaders and 'leaders-of-leaders' (C-level, management, boards of directors).
Training
Better interaction skills usually come down to (still) not being able, willing, or daring to. 'The soft skills are the hard skills,' a CEO once told me. Present in every leadership training or course with experts: inspiring formats, tailored frameworks and tools for every participant, and plenty of useful action-in-interaction.
Facilitation
Guiding and energising large groups is a craft in itself: how do you bring participants along, while keeping both content and process engaging? For your conferences, annual events, or milestone celebrations: since 2010 I've guided groups of dozens of people, and multiples thereof. Energy guaranteed!
