All about being Serious....

Coaching for individuals

This is a topic very close to our hearts - and with good reason. One to one coaching for managers has been proved to help develop competency in managing, leading, cognitive ability, effectiveness and communication when targeted correctly and given the right amount of time.

Improving Performance and Getting Results

We hear a lot of people telling us they are being asked to do ‘more with less’.  This requires clarity on what is possible, and how to engage people. Whether it is getting the basics right – communication, setting objectives, feedback, performance management – to developing your skills either through one to one coaching with one of our qualified coaches, or providing a coaching programme to train your teams on how to coach, we know that performance is the key to getting those great results.

Team Development

Do you have the team you always wanted? Is everyone working together how you would like? Or is it more like a random selection of ingredients that have been provided by the head chef with the request for you to ‘make something outstanding from these’?...

Well we can help. After some well structured diagnostics, we can decide with you on where you need to start, what approaches would work for the people you have. We love techniques like Open Space and World Café, as they bring people together, inviting their opinions and views and allowing them to collaborate and communicate – often with surprising results!

Emotional Intelligence

This topic sits very closely to our first love - coaching. Understanding yourself, and how you impact on others runs through all our programmes and is usually implicit in our course designs.

We also work with the Emotional Capital Report (ECR) 360 degree psycometric tool from Roche Martin (https://www.rochemartin.com) as a useful starting point for leaders on their development journey.

Organisational Change

How stable are things for you and your team or organisation at the moment? Facing some changes? Are your people change ready and change resilient? Do you want them to be actively seeking opportunities to innovate and drive change for even better performance?

Whether you are in charge of developing a strategic direction, or have been tasked with implementing a new approach, ensuring that you have considered the systemic impact of the plans and getting your people committed and engaged is where we have expertise as business psychologists.  We can offer individual coaching support or develop an integrated Learning Solution that addresses the real and emotional impact of change.  We have experience of supporting significant culture changes across global organisations.

Recruitment & Interviewing

The psychological contract you have with an employee starts from the first contact at recruitment stage. Creating the right impression and representing the employer brand, as well as ensuring the process of recruiting is fair and transparent are not just the responsibility of your HR. Your recruiting managers need to develop these skills and we can help.

Developing Leadership

Is it for yourself, your team or even your organisation as a whole? We have years of experience of leadership in organisations. We understand the written and the unwritten rules. We know how to get to the bottom of what its ‘really like to work here’. There is some amazing and innovative thinking in the world right now about this vast topic. And we can help you find the right approaches that work for you and your team.

Problem Solving and Decision Making

These subjects are a fundamental part of what makes makes effective leaders, and we bring interesting and thought provoking approaches to developing these skills.
