High-Impact interventions for high performers
Culture and Behaviour Diagnostic
We bring profound psychological understanding to discern what’s going on, or going wrong, in your teams – not just the what (unhappiness, disengagement, dissent) but more importantly the why.
Using our own blended humanistic, systemic, psychodynamic approach, we translate feedback and observed behaviours into actionable insights about your people’s experiences in the organisation.
This ‘looking beneath’ gives you the information you need to drive engagement and high performance. Your people will feel understood, and will understand themselves, on a level they may have never before experienced.
Once we understand what’s happening, we help you identify and implement the changes necessary to unlock performance to achieve your organisational goals.
Leadership Team Culture Change Program
We work with you to optimise performance and fix dysfunction at the leadership team level, helping you role-model the practices and behaviours you need to transform performance and behaviour across the organisation.
We help teams get clear about their potential and their individual and collective goals, connect with why those goals are meaningful to them, and understand what it will take to achieve them in terms of mindset and behaviours. That is: where do we want to go, what do we have to do and who do we have to be to get there, and are we up for it?
Our process fosters trust by building familiarity and intimacy with team mates which helps them to realise their colleagues face similar challenges, are people like them who are smart and capable and with good values, who bring novel and useful ideas for solving the group’s shared challenges.
This intervention builds meaning, alignment, trust, collaboration and therefore drives performance for teams across organisational levels from the boardroom and Exco through to middle management.
Embedded Performance and Wellbeing Coaching
Our Performance and Wellbeing Coaching proposition provides you with highly-qualified, experienced coaches with two important differences: profound psychological and mental health training; and senior experience in global organisations in the City.
Our specific focus is on building and maintaining resilience and wellbeing in high-performance organisations.
Our Therapeutically Underpinned Executive Coaching Model ™ means that our coaches are trained to work at the intersection of the personal and the professional. And whereas most coaching takes a forward-looking approach, we recognise that to move forward often requires understanding the past. Our clinical training ensures our coaches can do this safely and effectively, delivering real-time improvements in experience in as little as a single session.
Our specialist coaches are fully vetted and bespoke to the client’s specific context. They are truly embedded: we make it our business to know your organisation - business model, organisational structure, culture, ways of working, language and terminology, performance criteria etc.
All our coaches receive upfront training specific to the role, as well as regular CPD and “clinical supervision” by senior practitioners.
Internal Coach Performance and Wellbeing-focussed Training and Supervision
Internal coaching teams are an increasingly important support within many large organisations. Internal coaches are well-placed to understand how to navigate their organisations, and how to get things done in ways which are welcomed, rewarded, valued and likely to succeed.
We work with internal coaches to support them, offering an external perspective, supervision, and the provision of coaching programmes that they can use internally with continued support from us.
Team meeting and leadership conference design and facilitation
Elevate your leadership team meetings and conferences by getting to the root of what’s really going on in your teams so that you can map a clear path to a different way of being.
Motivational speakers are great for inspiring people to think differently but can leave people without the resources to make changes. We diagnose what’s going on, and then design and deliver a truly bespoke experience for you and your people which addresses the specific issues inhibiting performance in your teams. We focus on the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ as well as the what. Our team and leadership development experiences:
Focus on real-world business issues, rather than use bland ‘training’ or hypothetical case study materials.
Utilise a blended approach of ‘your’ content and ‘our’ content, ensuring that new ways of thinking immediately connect with real issues and problems.
Work with emotions and feelings in the room, rather than on a hypothetical basis.
Make it personal – allow space for people to think about and talk about their subjective experience of their colleagues and their work, so that they can connect with each other on a more intimate level.
Build on relational skills – remove the social, emotional and cultural obstacles to trust, to communication and collaboration, and to performance. We do this by putting team-mates together to solve shared challenges, at the same time as equipping them with the emotional intelligence and relational skills to function effectively as a team.
