High Performance and Leading
We specialise in helping people work at their best and work with a variety of teams from small agile startups to senior executive groups. Many people also choose to work with us on a one to one to reach their personal goals. We have worked with elite athletes and in the performing arts and have a variety of innovative workshops to provide you with the catalyst you need. We can also explore whether using psychometric tests will be helpful for your leadership development.
Leadership development and team cohesion.
-
Help your senior team understand each other better so they can work more cohesively. It might be appropriate to use a psychometric tool as part o this process.
-
Utilising creative processes to get your team to work together more effectively. Working with our trainers with backgrounds in the performing arts will bring a new level of dynamism to your team, utilising a range of skills from role play nad method acting to opera singing.
-
Overcoming adversity; experiencing difficult times at work is natural. How we respond to them can be career defining. We can support teams work through challenges and better equip them for the future.
Conveying your message:
Influencing skills have long been seen as manipulative by some. Working with psychologists who adhere to strict ethical guidelines can work around these issues and ensure you have more influence while retaining integrity. Gravitas is learnable. The old adage goes that people won't necessarily remember what you said but they will remember how you made them feel.
Some of the workshops we offer include:
-
Body language and spatial anchoring for delivering to large audiences.
How to hold oneself, use hand gestures and specific parts of the stage to land a point are some of the things that can make an address really stand out. Equally, as lack of awareness of the impact of these things can be negative. -
Communication skills from vocabulary and intonation to using more influential language in written communication.
Interview technique for recording and broadcast.
-
Many of our clients are interviewed for the media and social media. The way they convey themselves has a direct impact on whether or not the message lamnfss. We work with people to ensure they are camera-ready. Our broadcast and media specialists help you prepare yourself in the best way, train you to manage difficult questions and also help you to prepare sound bites to land your message without it sounding clunky.
-
In-house productions for organisations
Our clients who work in the corporate sector may see the value of professional recordings but rarely have the broadcast training needed. The result can be wooden, not conveying the aims or image of the company. Our team will ensure your team lands the message in the style you want with a professional finish.
Finding an appropriate production team can be difficult when you don't work in this industry. We have preferred professionals in this area who can manage your project from start to finish and provide a high quality end product.
​
We have a range of assessment tools that can be used to help leadership and career development.
We can also advise on whether psychometric tools you are using for recruitment e pu[​ purposes are appropriate. There are major concerns about their use being discriminatory in this area. How confident are you but you understand the biases in the tests that you're using and what are you doing to mitigate them.
