Recently, I attended a webinar hosted by a company offering workshops to companies looking to increase motivation, performance, and productivity. It was a great opportunity to reflect on various strategies and solutions companies invest in. I want to say, that my reflections in this post go beyond just this particular session—it's a glimpse into the dynamics I've witnessed in my corporate roles, as well. Many times, these workshops and programs come in with one framework, one solution, one way of doing things. On paper and in presentations, it all sounds fantastic. Yet, in practice, it often falls short of expectations. It becomes another box to tick for leaders and HR, quickly forgotten as the day-to-day business takes over. This is what I see as the first level of delivery. But what about the second level? The solutions that presenters themselves have implemented and found success with in their own daily practices. This approach can be truly transformative—but with a caveat. It works best when the audience shares similar communication preferences and problem-solving styles to the presenter. Wonder with me… Are the workshops and solutions you invest in tailored to the diverse personalities and preferences within your teams? Are you truly addressing the individual needs that drive long-lasting change? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this topic! #WorkshopReflection #TeamDynamics #TailoredSolutions #EmployeeEngagement #WorkplaceCulture #ProductivityBoost #LeadershipInsights #CommunicationStyles #ProblemSolving #HRStrategies #TeamDevelopment #LinkedInDiscussion

Business Consulting and Services
A unique solution for forward-thinking leaders
About us
Working closely with leaders and their teams towards psychological safety, inclusion and higher performance using team-specific data measurements and diagnosis. The solution we offer is based on team-specific data measurement and diagnostics, identifying the underlying issues that lead to a toxic environment, personality clashes, disconnected and disengaged teams, low performance, frequent sick leave, and high turnover—all of which can have significant team-productivity and financial implications. Key Aspects of Our Solution: 1. We do not assume. We measure three aspects relevant to performance: psychological safety, motivational drives and cognitive diversity. 2. We facilitate conversations. Data without a story is meaningless. We facilitate meaningful conversations between leaders and teams to uncover the story behind what the data reveals, enabling the team to move forward together. 3. We set a challenge. A quest for your team and individuals to pursue after our initial work is complete. 4. We remeasure. This ensures that you're not just engaging people with inspirational workshops and lunches but also seeing real impact and understanding the next steps to take. 5. Our analyses are slick and efficient, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations. Our Vision is to see organisations thrive through open, honest communication, where employees excel because they feel psychologically safe and fully engaged with the company's vision.

Hierarchy within teams is changing and evolving. Pyramid like structure is no longer versatile enough. It’s time to bringing everyone onto the same map, levelling the playing field. It's about establishing a common starting point, a base altitude from which the entire team can ascend. This isn't a race for leadership; it's about taking turns, leveraging individual knowledge and soft skills that come naturally. With information flowing rapidly, one person can't efficiently absorb it all and make decisions solo. It's necessary that Team work is changing to team collaboration. This is the time when it's inevitable to sit down with your team and understand the problems (not guessing what they are). Combination of all of the above helps the team to determine who else should be around the campfire and who might not be suited for this particular expedition. Wonder with me…. Are you trying to run solo? If so why is it? Habit? Fear of looking like you cannot cope? Let me know what came up for you. #TeamCollaboration #HierarchyShift #TeamworkEvolution #LeadershipDevelopment #WorkplaceGrowth #CollaborativeCulture #TeamAlignment #SelfAwareness #DecisionMaking #ProblemSolving

Leadership these days often focuses on action, reports, ticking boxes, and deliverables, driven by percentages of completion. However, this approach is superficial and disconnected from the essence of leading people, let alone leading the WHOLE PERSON. This is only one side of the coin. The second side—the first side is becoming a WHOLE PERSON as a leader. WHOLE PERSON as a Leader… what does it mean to you? I invite you to reflect on this before you continue. Imagine showing up as a WHOLE PERSON in your leadership role. How would it change your approach? How would you lead differently? It's tempting to lead solely from the mind—relying on paperwork, reports, and others' action trackers. Yet, there's much more to us than our thoughts. Let's pause and reconnect with our entire being. Notice the balance that emerges—it's as if we become 'level-headed' with our whole selves. From this place of wholeness, can you see your team members more clearly? Can you engage in more open conversations? This is where leading others as whole people begins. Leading others as whole people means understanding their communication preferences, soft skills, mindset, and emotions—seeing them as human beings, not just human doings. It requires courage, I'll give you that. Are you up for it? If you feel that gaining a deeper understanding of yourself would be beneficial, don't hesitate to reach out. Leadership is evolving, and I'm here to support that change in any way I can. #LeadershipDevelopment #WholePersonLeadership #OpenConversations #HumanizingLeadership #ReflectiveLeadership

As I reflect on my vision to re-create a supportive and inclusive work environment, particularly within the realm of engineering—an area close to my heart—I envision a space where individuals see each other for who they truly are. It's not about job titles, the type of equipment we specialise in, the department we belong to, or the tasks we're currently working on. It's about recognising the humanity in each person—their passions, their aspirations, their unique perspective. This is what I see. I see people rising from their desks, stepping away from their computers, looking around and truly acknowledging one another. There's a moment of realisation—a flicker of recognition—as if a light has suddenly illuminated the room. It's that moment when you thought you were navigating through darkness alone, only to discover that there are others alongside you, ready to collaborate, support, and progress together. All “just” humans. This is the vision that drives me forward—a workplace where every individual feels seen, valued, and empowered to contribute their unique talents and insights. A culture of connection, understanding, joy, laughter and collective growth. What does your ideal workplace look like? Share your thoughts and visions below! PS: It is possible! #WorkplaceCulture #Engineering #Inclusion #Collaboration

Let me challenge you! These are some common values for companies these days. 🔸Integrity: Upholding honesty, transparency, and ethical behaviour in all actions and decisions. 🔸Collaboration: Fostering teamwork, communication, and cooperation across all levels and departments. 🔸Respect for People: Valuing diversity, promoting inclusion, and treating everyone with dignity and empathy. 🔸Innovation: Encouraging creativity, adaptability, and a willingness to explore new ideas and solutions. 🔸Customer Focus: Prioritising customer needs and satisfaction, striving to deliver excellent products and services If I came for an interview tomorrow, I will be curious to find out more about your company values. Specifically, about your commitment to "Respect for People" and how it translates into your workplace culture. I want to know how this value is upheld and how it's balanced with another key value: "Customer Focus." I've encountered numerous companies with similar values plastered across their websites and promotional materials. While they may sound good in theory, the real test lies in whether they're reflected in everyday practices. All too often, companies struggle to provide concrete examples of how these values are demonstrated, especially when it comes to the delicate balance between serving employees versus serving customers. Unfortunately, in many cases, the scales tip heavily in favour of the latter, leaving employees feeling undervalued and overlooked. So, back to my eagerness to hear how your company navigates this balance. Can you provide tangible examples of how "Respect for People" is upheld, even in the face of competing demands from customers? Does it have to be one or the other? #CompanyValues #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeEngagement #CustomerFocus

In the workplace, it's often easier to connect with those in our immediate teams, such as engineering. But what about our colleagues in procurement, planning, or other departments? We tend to choose jobs based on certain traits or skills, making it more likely that we'll naturally gel with those in our own teams. However, have we ever considered how different personalities across departments could lead to misunderstandings, clashes in priorities, or communication breakdowns? Expanding our awareness to recognise these differences is key to better collaboration and understanding. By acknowledging and appreciating the cognitive diversity and work styles across various departments, we can bridge the gap and create stronger cross-functional relationships. Wonder with me… Have you experienced challenges in collaborating with colleagues from different departments? How do you navigate these differences to ensure smooth communication and effective teamwork? Share your insights below! Allow me to learn from your experience, too. #CrossFunctionalCollaboration #WorkplaceDiversity #Teamwork #CommunicationSkills #LinkedInDiscussion

🚢 If Your Company Was a Ship, How Would Your Crew React in Times of Trouble? 🚢 Imagine for a moment that your company is a majestic ship sailing through the vast ocean of business. Now, what would happen if your ship encountered rough waters and started to falter? Would your crew abandon ship at the first sign of trouble, leaving you to navigate the storm alone? 🏝️ Would they stand by, watching from a distance, expecting you to save the ship single-handedly? 👀 Or perhaps, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, they would scramble in disarray, unsure of their roles or how to assist? 🌀 But what if, instead, your crew rallied together with unwavering determination and unity? What if they worked as a powerful team, leveraging their unique skills and strengths to weather the storm and steer the ship to safety? 🤝⚓ At the heart of every successful organisation lies its people, and their collective response in times of adversity speaks volumes about the strength of its culture and teamwork. Wonder with me… If your company were a ship, how would your crew react when the waters get rough? Would you know how to delegate tasks based on your people’s strengths to sail safely through the rough waters? #Teamwork #CompanyCulture #Leadership #Resilience #LinkedInDiscussion

Mid-management roles can often feel isolating, with leaders facing unique challenges and responsibilities. Yet, these individuals play a pivotal role in translating company goals into actionable plans, driving team performance, and creating a positive work culture. How are you looking after your mid-level leaders? Are you providing opportunities for them to connect and support each other through shared challenges and triumphs? Mid-management roles can sometimes feel like solitary islands in the sea of corporate responsibilities. Yet, these leaders hold the power to shape team dynamics and drive success. Imagine the potential if they were brought together to leverage their collective wisdom and experiences! By facilitating opportunities for these leaders to come together, share insights, and learn from one another, we can create a network of empowered professionals ready to tackle any challenge. Wonder with me… Is it time for you to give more emphasis to uniting mid-level leaders, providing a platform for mutual support, collaboration, growth, and harnessing the collective potential of mid-management? #LeadershipDevelopment #MidManagement #CollaborativeCulture #SupportiveNetwork #LinkedInDiscussion
