This inspired me to make it my personal mission to advance and upskill young talent. I turned this inspiration into a reality and started Oulbyz - a niche executive coaching/team development organisation founded on the principles of Ikigai that aims to foster the potential of GenZ. Through Oulbyz, I aim to utilise my 25 years of leadership and organisational cultural experience to offer mentoring and guidance solutions for individuals, companies, and distributors. My role is to identify the unique underlying issues preventing an organisation from realising its goals through conversations with key stakeholders and targeted individuals. Then transform those observations into a tailor-made programme designed to find solutions and take advantage of opportunities. From here, I can deliver a coaching and mentoring experience that will help develop the team/individual. Not only this, but ensure that post-service, the organisation can create sustainable systems built on established principles. The end goal being to ensure high-performance teams that deliver sustainable growth. Connect with me for more info. Show less
