Only humans can manage cultural, relational and emotional complexity
The the most expensive talent tier of most businesses is the bracket of 35-45yr old leaders, and they are at high risk of extreme stress. They lead down to teams of frustrated young people, and report up into ever-demanding boards & SLT's reacting to volatile market conditions. Reports from various sources show a steady decline in happiness, satisfaction and engagement at work, and in younger generations we're seeing more and more people quietly quit, get sick, or fade out. One thing that is consistent across all ages is a growing struggle under the weight of complexity.
The cost of these trends to your business is significant and becoming more expensive every quarter. Exhausted, disengaged, unhappy, or overlooked, its never been more important to invest in human development that ai can't replace. Skill for the future that, if ignored in favour of automation, leave companies vulnerable to becoming dehumanising places of work incapable of supporting their teams lead through complexity and change.
What are those skills we will develop in your teams? Psychological flexibility, emotional intelligence, self-awareness and authenticity. Give you and your people the HUMANEDGE.
“A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision.” - IBM, 1979
The Adaptability, Resilience and Agility Promise
Psychological flexibility involves openness to new experiences, acceptance of difficult emotions, and the capacity to adapt behaviour in response to changing circumstances. Our development program boosts resilience and flexibility by building deliberate thinking strategies for response instead of reaction, intuition instead of impulsivity, purpose instead of overwhelm and control instead of chaos.
The Emotional Intelligence Profit Engine Promise
A 1mil+ person study by TalentSmart found that EQ is the strongest predictor of performance, explaining 58% of success in all types of jobs. It is the biggest differentiator between high and low performers. Whole human coaching targets the EQ trifecta of +20% higher revenue, +20% productivity and -15% attrition rates. EQ is a profit-driving capability irreplaceable by automation. We do this by developing the four pillars of EQ. They are, self-awareness, self management, social awareness and relationship management.
The Intrinsic Purpose & Authenticity Promise
Passion cannot be automated and mimicry is not a leadership development strategy, authenticity is. Coaching will reverse absenteeism, presenteeism and resenteeism, boosting performance and enagement by connecting your people with their unique intrinsic motivation and identity; their Why and their Who. To be humanised, people need to self-individuate as purpose-driven authentic professionals.
I ask clients what their single most valuable outcome is...
"Taking different perspectives and considerations on how to view situations and how to act on them accordingly. Chris is not only an exceptional active listener, he is also amazing at reading between the lines to uncover crucial aspects not explicitly shared. These serve as wonderful aids in better understanding complex situations and circumstances. Chris is a great example of how a coach can impact people’s life and career in the most positive way."
Bettina Weber, Senior Digital Comms Manager, Syngenta
