Executive Coach, Workplace Well-being and Leadership Development Consultant

• Jan 2012 - Present

Consulting to organisations truly interested in enabling the conditions for their employees to be well at work. My focus is not about one off initiatives or tokenistic strategies to get more out of people. Rather, my aim is to encourage organisations to allow their staff to flourish in a psychologically safe, supportive environment. With the cost of employee 'burnout' and disengagement escalating, why not take a proactive approach to helping people be well at work?The principles of positive psychology and positive organisational behaviour underpin the Grow Mind and Body approach to improving workplace well-being. What does that look like?- developing people's ability to have supportive, developmental conversations ie. coaching- integrating the principles and practice of mindfulness into our lives- understanding and practicing evidence based, positive psychology 'interventions' - keeping physically fit with appropriate exercise.....and then offering yoga and fruit bowls!Contact me for further information on programs appropriate for your workplace.
