Our expertise
You asked. We delivered.
We’re offering more this year than ever before, simply because you’ve told us what you want.
We still focus on the brain and mind because they are remarkable things, and knowing how they work (and how they don’t) gives us an advantage in getting the most from them. After all, they’re the currency of the knowledge economy.
We’ll help you maximise wellbeing and performance through understanding your brain, mind, and behaviour and then applying strategies for change. This will help you create more productive people and teams, build teams that self-manage health and safety, and develop a culture of collaborative success. If you’re looking specifically for Psychological Safety, you’ll find it here.
The material we specialise in can be provided in workshop or seminar form, as coaching or consulting. We work with individuals needing some assistance, managers, leaders and teams, to get the improvements you want.
While we can provide our standard seminars and workshops, we recommend a co-designed programme for maximum return.
You can always have a chat with us.
PERFORMANCE
DEVELOPING A ‘SPEAK UP’ CULTURE
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Designed for leaders, Developing a ‘Speak Up’ Culture is all about listening to hear, and hearing what’s being said. A culture like this facilitates ideas, concerns, and raising problems, because people feel that not only can they speak up, but they should. We give you the right pieces to build this culture in your organisation.
We’ve all experienced negative or unpleasant communication at work. But it’s at the heart of every relationship, making it crucial for the workplace. It’s also not as easy as it sounds. We take you through communication styles, identifying trouble spots, and giving you a framework to use. And of course, some practice.
MANAGING MOTIVATION
HABIT MAKING HABIT BREAKING
Trying to motivate people can be difficult, frustrating, and sometimes fruitless. Motivation is a complex thing, and there are several ways to approach it. You’ll learn how to provide a context for motivation, the secret sauce of motivating other people over the long term, and how to help people motivate themselves.
Habits, like skills, are sequences of small steps you no longer pay attention to. We’ll unpack how they work, and what you can do to create new habits, for productivity, health, or wherever you could use them. Hint: no quick fixes or gimmicks here. Planning and effort are always required.
FLOURISHING CREATIVITY
ATTENTION MANAGEMENT
Creativity is incredibly valuable. We can see new things, or old things in new ways. It’s also misunderstood. You’ll discover the science of why traditional brainstorming doesn’t work, and discover the brain science behind what we need to do instead to be seriously more creative, both in terms of quantity and quality. We’ll even come back to run a session with you.
Attention is a precious resource. The problem is, we can be easily distracted, spend time on the wrong things and forget, all while the brain is looking for the easiest way to do something. Used wisely, it’s a powerful tool. But distraction has its place too. This is the why, what, and how of the power of focus, the benefit of distraction, and how to make the most of what you have.
PERFORMING UNDER PRESSURE
We sometimes say we perform better under pressure, but pressure is the enemy of the brain. So what exactly are the optimal conditions for best mental performance and how do we create them to deliver great performance? What are the traps we should watch for, and what’s our personal style?
