Thriving or just surviving?
Blue Skies assists boards, executives and team leaders to improve the health of interpersonal relationships and team dynamics within their organisations. This supports better decision making, saves time and money, leads to better results and underpins individual and collective wellbeing.
Our services focus on four key areas:
You will receive proven solutions that create the right working environment and practices to optimise team effectiveness and wellbeing, and maximise outcomes.
A collegiate, exploratory approach
Simon starts by exploring your main leadership challenges and auditing your organisation or team to:
- assess the level of organisational health, internal wellbeing and effectiveness
- identify any areas of dysfunction
- review existing internal support systems and practices and how they are impacting your workforce and clients or beneficiaries.
You will then receive a diagnosis and a tailored plan for moving forward onto a better footing. However, unlike some consultants, Simon doesn’t simply tell you what you need and leave you to do the rest. He appreciates how overwhelming that can be for leaders in complex and demanding operating environments.
Instead, Simon works with you to develop a sound pathway for implementing the recommended changes. He walks alongside you and your teams for as long as you need, providing practical guidance, training and stewardship to ensure the improvements are realistic for your organisation and successfully embedded.
