Key Skills
- Relationship Management:
If you are feeling disheartened by the competitive dynamic at work, or stressed because of the demands placed on you, I can help you navigate these challenges. Or I can work with teams to build a collaborative culture, promote staff wellbeing, and bring out the best in everyone.
- Advocacy:
I can support you to have courageous conversations, or I can advocate on your behalf with the goal of getting people to see a different perspective.
- Communication and Clarity:
I have excellent relational and communication skills, and a picture-orientated mind to enable me to see through the fog and shine a light on the problem – so it makes sense and feels less overwhelming. I can support you to communicate honestly and effectively to get your point across.
- Problem Solving:
I am pragmatic and tenacious, and unfazed by obstacles. I can help you get to where you want to be even if you cannot see past the obstacles in the way. Reaching a solution starts with seeing the problem clearly and taking that first step.
- Coaching Supervision & Mentoring:
Whatever challenges you are facing, I can help you prioritise your problems, reframe them so they don’t seem so big, and direct you on a path towards change. If you are feeling crushed or even a little concerned by so many compounding issues, I can help you find a simpler path before things get out of hand.
- Personal Integrity:
Integrity is at the core of my being and guides my work. I can support people to act according to their values, and work with organisations to promote a culture where the mahi and mana of individuals is valued – because that is integral to the success of any group.
