Part of the challenge of any marketing material for ‘soft skills’ is making it relevant and applicable for the audience. Although there are always some generic common areas that can be covered, Clare works on those areas that are most relevant to individuals and organisations. This can sometime lead to further steps that are only revealed following initial work. It can be surprising how individuals can become more responsive and proactive in their own development with an approach that lends itself to them as individual. See engagement.
You might have a staff responsiveness issue, or want to have better team work than is obvious at the moment. There may be some individuals who are having a challenging personal life and that is bought to work. Some managers may be feeling pressured and feel they may not have enough support to deliver the requested output. In the current economic situation many people are expected to cope with a wider range of roles and tasks than historically and may have less people to delegate to. There are many reason’s people seek Clare’s help.
Sadly, in these current times, Clare has provided assistance to staff who have been made redundant. This is a very challenging support issue for both the staff and management. But handled sensitively with a focus on the individual skills that a person has built up, both professionally and personally, staff can leave organisations with a greater chance of a successful job hunt than without such assistance. Clare’s approach is always with the individual and what they want. Experience has shown that people may actually find they have moved on as has the working world… there may be other jobs or other ways of working that actually suit their lifestyle better. Sometimes we can get paralysed by the pressure of what is being done to us rather than what we want out of our lives.
Clare has worked with organisations in culture, whether it is to look at a full culture change programme or to look at how an individual manager can develop their leadership to correspond with the organisational culture, there are many ways that Clare can provide help. Clare believes a shared effective culture to be the most significant element of the success of any team. Clare has worked with organisations at various levels to provide the facilitation and direction for defining, developing and understanding cultures and the relevance of this to success.
