Our Workplace Solutions enable workplaces to:
Understand the strengths and challenge areas of teams and individuals
Improve communication skills and overall interpersonal dynamics
Manage conflict
Enhance interpersonal dynamics, engagement and productivity
Everything DiSC™
Improve Communication, Collaboration and Team Dynamics.
Are you a Driven D, a Sociable I, a Calm and Steady S or an Analytical C?
How do you prefer to communicate? What motivates you? What stresses you? What projects and assignments do you most enjoy? How do these differ to others in your team?
If you are a Manager or Leader, what is your preferred management style? What are your innate strengths and challenge arreas? How do these compliment or work against the personality styles of your team?
What is Everything DiSC?
The updated Everything DiSC™ Personality Assessment enables leaders, managers and individuals to gain deeper insight into and understanding of their own and others’ personality style, behaviourial traits and patterns, preferred workstyle, communication preferences, goals, motivators and stressors.
It empowers individuals and teams to work together more effectively and address challenges or conflicts arising from different personality and behaviourial styles, using a common language.
Communication, teamwork and relationships are improved, driving enhanced performance.

Workplace Counselling
The average person spends a third of their life at work. Stressors such as excessive workloads, long working hours, poor management styles and a toxic workplace culture can exacerbate existing mental health issues or even create mental health problems.
Furthermore, people who are struggling with problems such as substance abuse, domestic violence or trauma may experience difficulties in carrying out their work responsibilities as effectively as required. They may face disciplinary actions because of absenteeism or poor work performance.
I provide confidential, 3rd party counselling services to businesses to help them help their employees. This can enhance their EAP (employee assistance programmes) and health and safety programmes for staff.
Types of Issues addressed in Workplace Counselling:
Stress Management Techniques.
Recovery from Burnout.
Communication Skills and Conflict Resolution.
