Why choose us?
We Understand
As experts in enabling HR directors to achieve their strategic goals, we know that the more belief you can generate in what you’re doing, the quicker and deeper you can drive transformation you need to win. We are passionate about helping you to do that.
We Help
We combine decades of practical experience, innovation, and skilled facilitation to ensure your confidence and self-belief in our abilities as an HRD are unshakeable.
You Thrive
Our course and our coaching are dedicated to making your job easier & more fulfilling, and building unassailable confidence in the validity of your voice, your value, and your mission within your organization.
What our clients tell us they want
We know you want greater influence and impact; the opportunity to secure your place at the top table; the tools to seize the opportunity for the People agenda to take centre stage.
This will enable you to build an organisational culture that:
Ensures your organisation is fit for the future (rather than aiming to simply survive)
Creates a more enticing & consistent working environment - safe, diverse, and trusted - in which people can flourish
Nurtures, challenges, and develops talented people who are connected to your sense of purpose and values
Your Challenges
We know that securing the influence with the CEO - in order to shape your organisations and leaders whilst ensuring the best way to work - is often a huge challenge for HRDs. Do any of these challenges resonate with you?
CEO & Executive Team
CEO & ET do not give sufficient support for the talent and people agenda; the agenda of the CFO and COO often take precedence over HR
It feels that they have little true understanding of me and my world i.e. HR’s perspectives, values, challenges, and opinions
Personal Insecurity
We feel marginalised by not having a voice at the top table
We are often lacking self-confidence, doubting ourselves – wasting our own time on persistent second-guessing
We’re stuck in the weeds – overwhelmed headspace.
We lose perspective on the big picture
If these challenges do resonate with you then join the Influence and Impact programme today – we have drawn on the expertise of CEO’s, Chief People Officers, experienced HRDs, and other senior executives to help you overcome these challenges.
We can enable you to…
Establish a strong working partnership/alliance with your principal decision maker
Increase your influence with your senior colleagues and other key stakeholders
Successfully articulate and advocate the tangible benefits of your “transformational” role
Strengthen the alliances that ensure your Culture, People, and Talent agenda gains traction
