OUR APPROACH

LISTEN
Most of us don’t listen very well. We might think we do but it’s very likely that many of us don’t.
To listen properly requires focus. It requires the listener give their fullest attention. It requires the listener to give the speaker time and space.
When we listen like this it shows respect, allowing you uninterrupted time to think, which in turn positively influences the quality of your thoughts, often enabling you to express ideas from that deeper place where the conscious mind seldom goes during normal conversation.
Nowadays business has become very fast paced. There is hardly time to sit down and truly listen. Often we only listen to respond, and frequently we have already made up our minds and judgment is in place.
By offering this focused level of listening, we can create the space you need, be the thought catalyst and guide you to find solutions.

CHALLENGE
Challenge can have many different meanings. Very often challenge is perceived as negative, as something difficult. However, there is another view and that is that challenge is positive, it presents an opportunity and it is not something to fear or be threatened by.
One cannot grow or improve without challenging the status quo. We don’t challenge just for the sake of challenging. We challenge for the sake of clarity, to discover the real thoughts and ideas. It is our way of holding a mirror in front. There is no benefit for a client working with an external partner who just says yes, who just goes along with her/his thoughts, that brings no value.
We are challenging you, your teams and your organizations to ensure we get to the root of the discussion, to bring you back to your authentic core and to provide you with a different perspective.
We provide a trusted, safe and respectful environment in which we can support you to create clarity. In so doing we help you develop an objective perspective of the current situation and future possibilities.

CLARITY
Without clarity you and your teams cannot move forward to achieve your goals. Do you understand the issue? Do you know the root cause? Where do you want to go? Do you know what the end goal is? What is in your control and what is not? What has worked well? Who is on board and who is not? Who do you want to go with you? What would the perfect outcome look like if you achieved all your goals? Do you have the skills and expertise to get there?
These are all broad questions, with many possible answers. We operate within a rapidly changing world, with many diverse inputs impacting our professional lives. Without going through the process of analysing what is really important to you, identifying the critical items, being able to articulate them and then being able to clearly communicate them to your team or peers the risk of distraction or derailing is very high.
By focusing on obtaining that clarity, you and your teams will quickly be able to identify a path to achieving your goals, as well as being able to observe and side-step the inevitable distractions.
