What we do

Supporting leaders to lead
The task of leadership is complex and demanding, confronting us with the limits of our knowing while, at the same time, requiring us to take decisive action. At times, leaders will benefit from external support. 
 
Through 1-to-1 coaching, we provide leaders with:

• support, insight and a listening ear
• help to articulate your concerns and explore different ways of responding to persistent challenges
• challenge to go deeper to stretch your leadership capability
• encouragement to identify and realise your personal and professional goals.

Helping teams work better together
Successful team work requires skilful communication and cooperation between group members and across group boundaries, yet often these capabilities are difficult to achieve when they are most needed. 
Our offer to teams falls into 3 broad categories:
:

1. Conflict or crisis work - help when teams or groups find themselves in difficulty for whatever reason
2. Leadership Team Effectiveness - support to establish/develop a shared sense of purpose, identity and effective ways of working
3. Reflective spaces - regular opportunities for teams to meet without a structured agenda to reflect on and make sense of what they're working on and how they're working together.

"After taking charge of a new team, I found we were in need of some help.  We weren't getting the best out of each other or collectively working towards a common purpose with agreed ways of working.  Pauline facilitated a programme of sessions that broke down barriers and moved us quickly forward."

Facilitating change and transitions
We work with organisation leaders to help them with their change work to better ensure that the changes implemented will be of lasting benefit to customers, stakeholders and staff.  

We do this by helping to:

• clarify the why of the change project
• identify what is currently working well and how to hold on to that as changes are implemented
• determine how to involve those most affected by the changes (this is essential)
• learn to adapt plans and expectations as the change process unfolds
