The psychology of mental strength and emotional resilience is the ability to manage oneself effectively during adversities and uncertainties. It is the strength that is required to bounce back quickly during times of stress and volatility. There is a strong correlation between emotional resilience and emotional intelligence which indicates that mentally strong people have higher emotional intelligence.

Those who display competent cognitive capacity are better at emotional regulation which has a direct impact on their behaviours and habits. They are also better at understanding and influencing the emotions of other people.

Mental strength and agility require emotional awareness and tenacity. With the use of psychological modalities, I assist you in gaining a deeper level of self-awareness and insight into your behaviours, feelings, and habits. You will learn to gain mastery over your emotions, attain emotional regulation and practice perseverance. We will work together in creating a shift in perception and dissolve limiting beliefs that lead to ineffective behavioural patterns.

Developing workplace effectiveness is an important and holistic process. An authentic and collaborative leader can turn a weak business plan in to a success and empower his or her people to reach their highest potential. In the same way engaged and resilient employees can thrive in highly volatile and uncertain environments. For this reason, developing your leaders and employees for effectiveness will yield a high return on your investment.

The biggest asset of any business is its people, without the backing of a strong workforce organisations cannot attain a competitive edge. In order to ensure workplace effectiveness, businesses need to focus on developing their employees. Not just at an executive and middle level but also at the front-line level.

Through a coaching partnership, I help your employees align to your business goals and work with your staff to create an action plan to meet these goals:

• Develop leadership skills in your high potential talents who are ready to take the step into a leadership role
• Work with your staff to identify their true potential
• Help your staff work smarter and communicate better
• Help you attract and retain talented employees

“The single biggest way to impact an organisation is to focus on leadership development. There is almost no limit to the potential of an organisation that recruits good people, raise them up as leaders and continually develop them.” – John Maxwell.

It was the famous Greek Philosopher Heraclitus who said “Change is the only constant in life!” In order to remain relevant, competitive and current businesses need to adapt to change. At the heart of any organisational change management is people management. It is the emotional element of change management process that must be managed adequately to create sustainable growth.

Are your employees mentally ready for your proposed organisational change? We all deal with change differently, some of us go with the flow whilst many of us resist change out of fear of the unknown, especially if this involves a potential loss of power and employment. The success of any organisational restructure and change is dependent upon how well it has been accepted by its people.

The easier the transition process is for your staff the quicker they will be on board with the change. There are 4 emotional stages that each individual travels through as they familiarise themselves with the change, these are identified on a model called the change curve as:

• Stage 1 – Denial
• Stage 2 – Anger
• Stage 3 – Exploration
• Stage 4 – Acceptance

Through a tailored coaching and mentoring program I help you manage and eliminate resistance to change. I support your managers and employees in 3 ways:

1. I support and coach your change sponsors to effectively communicate the need and the impact of change from top down
2. I help your employees move efficiently through the change curve model
3. Support you and your employees post the change process.

“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, not the most intelligent that survive. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change” – Charles Darwin

Personal transformation is the process by which we learn to change our self-defeating beliefs, understand our capacities and become clear on our goals and directions. It is this in this change that we realise that we can certainly grow towards a different path and liberate ourselves from the old self-defeating way of life.

Personal transformation is as unique as the individual who is experiencing the transformation. I work with you through a series of tailored coaching sessions using a blended mix of psychological techniques with real world experience to create a systemic and lasting change. This is not just a one-off exercise but process and method practiced over time. In an empathetic and directive manner I will help you clarify your goals, create a structured action plan and guide you in attaining your outcomes.

“Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.” – Brene Brown
