Reviews

While facilitating a group of transport operators Chris was able to instill a shared purpose, communication, cohesion, goals and strike a balance between meeting task and social needs which were all key factors in affecting group performance and outcomes. In my opinion, Chris has the knowledge, skill and ability to perform any task in the field of facilitation that any firm needs and is highly focused on getting results and effectively communicating any activity that will benefit the organization.

Derek Dillon, CEO Sunstate Fuel, BP

The particular challenge was to bring together such a diversity of people who are specialists in considerably different fields. Thank you for giving us a positive starting point and we appreciate the highly professional and caring manner in which you conducted the sessions. It was a pleasure working with you and we look forward to a continuing professional relationship.

Chris's planning and preparation was excellent and at all times during the off-site session, the program ran to time and her techniques for extracting participation were excellent. Throughout, Chris kept excellent control, her explanations were clear and concise; the end product has demonstrated the effort was worthwhile, and the staff can see this. We have an internal commitment to continuing the process.

Speech Topics

Organizational Development: Breakthroughs

Learn to move out of assessment, judgement and upset into being in action. Having a breakthrough is not "business as usual." Take the opportunity to practice a clear and practical method for getting past the breakdowns and experience a major leap in organizational performance.

Organizational Development: Building Relationships

Relationships, yours and those of your co-workers, set the foundation for the organization's performance. Relationships build competence, partnership, trust, team spirit, commitment, acknowledgement, fulfillment and joy. Understand the meaning of integrity as it applies to quality relationships. Build relationships and a workplace environment that promotes both commitment and appropriate action.

Organizational Development: Communication

There is nothing of greater importance in any workplace environment than meaningful communication.

Take a stand for quality communication by learning the technique of generous listening and inspirational speaking.

Organizational Development: Coping with Change

If there is one thing in life we can count on, it is change. Change is ever present and comes in various forms. Change can be absolutely debilitating or serve as the driving force for a new direction. Learn the aspects of change and the most positive method for coping and performing at your highest level within the midst of change.

Organizational Development: Leadership

All organizations are in need of quality leadership to create vision, motivate the team, communicate clearly and drive performance. Leadership training is not about one person making all the decisions. It is about learning how to create an irresistable environment where people embrace the vision and want to participate at their maximum ability. Quality leadership is being open to the ideas of others and making "it" safe for people to speak freely without fear of reprisal. Learn practical methods to re-define yourself as a great leader.

Organizational Development: Safety

All organizations desire a safe and secure workplace environment. Much is being done through improved technology and investigation to do just that. A safer environment can also be established through increased awareness, reporting mechanisms and employee participation. Learn a method entitled "issues and actions" where employees and managers work together to identify the issues and take responsibility for formulating appropriate action plans.

Well-Being: Take Time for You...Guilt Free

Day-to-day responsibilities--job, family and other commitments--run you nonstop. Sooner than later, you run down. Attending to yourself is not selfish but necessary to your well-being as well as those around you. Take a close and important look at how you are dedicating time and energy then, learn methods for creating a healthier balance.
