Enabling Real Humans
Management training, emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills training, team development
Hi, I'm Alex, and I want to see individuals, teams and organisations thrive at work.
My role as an HR and L&D professional is to work with you and find our what your organisation needs to get to the next level of success. I'll partner with you to enable you to create a positive working environment where your teams enjoy the work they do and can grow, develop and deliver their best work.
What Can I Do For You?
I'm a qualified Strengthscope® practitioner designing and delivering:
​
-
Power skills (soft or interpersonal skills) programmes
-
'People First' human-centred,management training
-
Team development programmes
-
HR Team development programmes
all designed to deliver learning and growth interventions that result in lasting positive behavioural change, increase engagement levels, and boost performance
Power Skills (also known as soft skills or interpersonal skills) are the human skills needed in every workplace.
These include things like empathy, listening, giving and receiving feedback, having constructive conversations, understanding and managing conflict, time management.
All too often a technically brilliant person or team underperforms due to a lack of Power Skills. These really are the skills that take someone from good to great.
You don't learn to swim in a classroom and the same is true of good management.
I design management training that blends theory, evidence and data into an interactive, highly practical workshop that ensures each manager leaves with tools and techniques they can immediately put into practice.
​
Emphasis is put on becoming a 'people-first' manager who understands that real results come from managing teams well to ensure engagement, accountability, and productivity.
You want your team to trust each other, work well together, feel connected and deliver results.
Using a combination of positive psychology, team facilitation, coaching and practical support I support teams to be the best they can be and ensure a positive working environment within the team.
​
Each team is different so the programmes are tailored to suit their specific needs based on intensive diagnostic interviews with the team manager and each team member before the programme commences.

Trusted professional to individuals, teams, and organisations, from local start-ups to large multinationals
