Our Executive Coaching packages cover leadership, team building, conflict resolution, psychological safety, and 'kaizen' (continuous improvement).
Our Approach
Psychological wellbeing and work performance both sit on a continuum, and are inextricably and dynamically interconnected. Thus we champion the two way transition between psychotherapy and executive coaching.
Unlike most other executive coaching providers, we acknowledge the undeniable influence of an individual's personal life on their working life, and we help to nudge both aspects in the right direction. We will offer alternative perspectives on issues and concerns and provide genuine support in times of crisis.
Workplace culture tends to emerge from the personalities of senior leaders in an organisation's hierarchy. On a systemic level, we can discuss opportunities to engender a workplace culture that inspires maximal engagement and productivity. Salient themes that we cover include leadership, sustaining top-level performance, and agile working.
We can help you identify the strengths and talents in your executive team, fostering productivity and success.
Conformity and obedience research reveals the human tendency to comply with the status quo. This can sometimes occur without the full awareness of those involved.
A perceived pressure to 'go with the flow' can give rise to cultures that inhibit engagement and creativity, Employees can feel disincentivised and discouraged to apply themselves in enthusiastic and tenacious ways. Such cultures can culminate in employees learning to play the system to their personal advantage, even to the point of parasitising the organisation.
Insightful chief executives recognise that imbuing a psychologically safe culture and a shared sense of purpose is likely to increase engagement, reduce absenteeism, and raise the bottom line.
Empowering employees to proverbially stick their heads above the parapet can inspire commitment, thought leadership, and productivity.
The Culture Nudge process endeavours to create a workplace culture in which potential is developed to its fullest, for the benefit of all.
The Power of
Workplace Culture
Psychological Wellbeing at Work
What is psychological safety?
It is a shared expectation and a collective effort by a team to increase a sense of safety in the workplace. Amy Edmondson likens this to '...felt permission for candor.'
When individuals feel safe in the workplace they can shift their focus from feeling disenfranchised to feeling more empowered and more accountable.
