"Cooperation - the performance edge"
The competitive model of management and teamwork, where individuals compete for purely individual success, is over; the successful organisations of the future (be they private, public, governmental, non-governmental, charitable, or other) will be those capable of creating the exceptional performance that only the power and creativity of true collective cooperation can achieve.
My aim is to develop “excellent” managers and teams! Managers and teams who are truly excellent in the way they think, speak and act and who will really shape and develop the way organisations (and maybe society) operate.
I only work with a small number of selected clients at any one time; this allows me to be available both physically and mentally to concentrate on your issues. My clients choose me and I choose my clients, it is a mutual selection process. I have to believe in what my clients are trying to achieve and my clients have to believe in what I am trying to achieve. All interventions are designed to respond to a clearly defined client based issue and a strong emphasis is put on ensuring that all interventions are coherent and complimentary with respect to other on-going client based initiatives and that top management is committed to the aims, objectives and outcomes of the interventions.
I am typically involved in programme design, seminar delivery, coaching, facilitating and team performance audits; all with the objective of maximising success through real cooperation.
As a firm believer in participant centred, experiential learning, the “learning scenarios” I use in team and management development events demand participants simply "to be themselves,” in this way they are confronted with their own behaviour and its impact on others. Learning scenarios mix outdoor and indoor practical exercises, theatre, community projects, simulations, customised case-studies, open spaces and participant centred problem solving. A challenging yet supportive environment is provided in which they can learn about themselves and how they interact with others. Action planning, learning reviews and coaching (for individuals, groups and teams) are used to support all interventions.
