We partner with individuals and organisations to help them to start having more of the conversations that get things done — real conversations.
Experience tells us that conversations that are more tactical and personality-driven stunt relationships, reduce trust and cause division.
We help our clients to develop the capacity for extraordinarily free conversations that are to the point, supportive, open and involving.
Founded in 1989 by psychologist, Dr Paul Furey, we are a closely-knit, well-trained team of practitioners that support individuals, small groups and whole organisations to run their businesses in open, honest ways that enable people to invest themselves in their job rather than wasting time and effort trying to figure out how to deal with one another.
We believe that great conversations hold the key to building relationships, trust and energy for action.
When people trust one another and are keen to get going, they can make anything happen.
Boards can only work really well when there is trust. To trust someone you need to understand them. And to understand them you need to be able to have proper conversations.
Each assignment is unique. Whether we are working with an individual, a team or a much larger portion of the organisation, we use a framework to guide ourselves and our clients to a great result without having to resort to using templates and off-the-shelf solutions. Our framework has three phases that we work through with you as stuff happens: learn, simplify, act and communicate.
What was tricky is now trickier... and no, it can't wait.
We use this device to scope out projects, both large and small. It helps to get our clients focusing on what's important to them without getting lost in the detail.
