"The success of our organisation depends upon the quality and motivation of our people"

That's a maxim that most organisations would emphasise - and quite rightly so!  It goes without saying that the performance of a committed and enthusiastic workforce will far out-strip that of a group which is simply turning-up, or even worse, is de-motivated and alienated.

Engagement is the key to performance and retention. Highly committed employees try 57% harder, perform 20% better, and are 87% less likely to leave than employees with low levels of commitment.
— Corporate Leadership Circle 2004 Employee Engagement Survey, with responses from 50,000+ employees.

What can we do to keep our people committed and performing at their best? 

Specifically, how can we...

  • Create a workplace which staff find engaging, energising and developmental?
  • Encourage staff to take responsibility?
  • Reduce staff turnover?
  • Improve communication, so the right information gets to the right people?
  • Find ways to incentivise staff which don't just involve paying higher salaries or bonuses?

The answer to all of these questions lies in the creation of a positive and empowering organisational culture.

Developing the potential of your people...

There is no single solution which meets the needs of every organisation.

Andromeda has a strong track record of delivering tailor-made, impactful training to professional organisations.  I can offer a variety of workshop, seminar or teaching formats, together with one-to-one coaching for key personnel. 

My approach is to sit down with you and listen - to find out exactly what you are looking for - and then to design together with you a programme that meets the specific needs of your organisation.  Throughout the period of the programme we will review progress together and make changes to your package to ensure your goals are achieved.

Just a quick note to say a MASSIVE thanks for delivering your session...The response in the room was very strong and the feedback since the event has been excellent...It was great to see everyone in the room going away at the break laughing together - genuinely enjoying themselves and learning at the same time - brilliant!!!

Training Workshops

Workshops are typically designed for groups of 8-12 people and are of a half-day or one-day's duration.  The target group might be your senior management team, a functional department, or the members of a project.  I aim to create highly interactive sessions which encourage "learning through experience".  The following is a selection of previous workshop formats: 

  • Communication skills
  • Mentoring skills
  • Coaching skills for leaders
  • Exploring Vision and Values
  • Team Dynamics
  • Mindfulness techniques
  • Effective Meetings
  • Stress Management
  • Change Management
  • Team-building-with-learning events (on- or off-site)

I can work with you to provide a customised solution - a package which addresses the specific needs of your own organisation - with pre-defined goals and outcomes.
