Richard Branson

not only our immediate team."

“Have a Nice Conflict”
This is a refreshing teambuilding workshop that can be customised according to specific
requirements of the team, the manager and /or the organisation in terms of content and duration.

It is based on the SDI® (Strengths Deployment Inventory) which gives the team insight
as to how they their behaviours are all driven by different sets of values
and how these play out in their actions through their strengths, overdone strengths, triggers
and their unique ways of handling conflict.

With a dash of fun and dollops of humour, individuals not only get more clarity
about what’s really going on amongst the team members,
other colleagues, clients, and other stakeholders, they have an opportunity
to openly share their frustrations and learn to have those “difficult conversations”
we so often dread.

The new awareness around conflict and the management thereof will empower them
to handle personality differences for the rest of their lives, both in the workplace
and in any other context and the dynamics of the team improves dramatically.

Career direction

“Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress; working hard for something we love is called passion.”

Simon Sinek
What is it you love doing? What’s s your unique gift you want to bring to the world and what actions do you need to take to make it real?
Revitalising relationships
A huge mistake we make in relationships is when we confuse a real person with the image of them we’ve created in our minds.
Perhaps you’ve lost the connection with your partner; or you just don’t “get” one of your children and you’re struggling to get through to him or her.
Getting that connection back is easy once you realise where all your “problems” are coming from.
A new business venture
A new business takes energy, planning, decision-making, patience and above all, massive amounts of courage to take each step as it comes. Having a thinking partner to help you make the journey from start-up to a thriving business can be a blessing. All kinds of challenges can be a lot easier to deal with someone who “has your back".
Living life to its fullest
Life can get pretty dreary at times and we can find that we’ve lost the “joy for life” without even knowing it.
For an all-round refreshing new look at your life, your relationships, your dreams, your aspirations, coaching can be a marvellous way to rediscover your WHY and get that Joie de Vivre back in your life.
Enjoying more peace of mind
Have you ever noticed that sometimes the more you think about a problem, the worse it gets, or the worse you feel, even though the actual facts of the problem have not changed?
As Syd Banks said: “If the only thing people learned was not to be afraid of their experience, that alone would change the world.”
