Consultancy.
I help organisations like yours optimise staff performance and wellbeing by reviewing the way they work (at individual, workplace and organisational levels) and how to make it better.
Are major changes planned within your organisation?
Do your staff have the skills, knowledge and attributes required to thrive now and in the future?
Do your staff have the support they require from their leaders and managers?
Does their work environment and the work culture support or hinder their performance?
Does your safety-critical organisation encourage error reporting and learn from ‘near-misses’?
From years of working in high-stakes safety-critical industries and successfully implementing major organisational changes I understand what makes the difference between ‘good’ and ‘great’ performance at work, and the importance of effective competence management, leadership, culture and work environment in enabling people to thrive. I have successfully pioneered transformational work on competence management systems and my practical evidence-based guidance has helped countless companies ‘future-proof’ their workforce.
As an award-winning Chartered Occupational Psychologist and certified coach I am highly trained and experienced in successful behavioural change - determining what needs to change and the best way to make it happen in order to make your organisation a success now and in the future.
Areas of Expertise
I can help you support people at work by identifying what skills they need to thrive, but also what leadership, culture and work environment they need around them to enable them to be their best. Drawing on the latest evidence and your own practical experiences, I collaborate with you to provide the following services to suit you and where your organisation is today:
Human factors training
Help your staff understand what it is to be human, and how by understanding human limitations as well as strengths, they can be equipped to effectively manage challenges at work.
I deliver bespoke face-to-face and virtual training courses to up-skill your staff in non-technical skills (such as communication, teamwork and decision making) and build awareness of the factors that can affect human performance at work.
Training needs analysis
Help your staff thrive now and in the future. I help you identify the skills, knowledge and attributes your staff need in order to manage risk and adapt to change. I focus on the ‘non-technical skills’ such as situational awareness and co-operation which differentiate good and great performance and lead to high performing teams. I also help define the competencies required of future staff and design and administer selection processes.
Organisational culture
Organisational culture, or ‘the way we do things round here’ is vital for staff performance and engagement.
I help companies build a learning culture where individuals and their experiences are valued. My particular experience lies in helping to improve safety culture for high reliability organisations.
Coaching for change
I work with leaders and their teams to enhance performance and work culture - particularly during times of change - by raising self-awareness, reconnecting with core strengths and motivations, building relationships at work and building resilience.
