COACHING CULTURE

Everyone knows how to have quality conversations that stimulate novel thinking and strengthen trusting relations

A coaching culture fosters learning, new perspectives, collaboration and improved business results. In a coaching culture, performance is the result of constant learning, empowerment and accountability.   


It doesn't not mean that everyone has to become a teacher, it does mean that everyone's skills are primed to grow through positive and value-creating conversations.


A coaching culture emerges when all employees are trained in coaching skills which involve knowing how to have collaborative dialogue, listen actively and facilitate creative problem-solving to produce results more quickly and with less stress.


COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE

Everyone's know-how and expertise is valued and used positively


Harnessing the collective intelligence of your organization with small, medium or large-scale collaborative learning experiences is essential to understanding complexity. 


Our favorite meeting methodology is The World Café, where we can ensure the active involvement of all participants in an informal, friendly atmosphere that facilitates exchanges, even around difficult topics, empowering them as actors in any change initiative.

HARMONY AT WORK

People work better in a workplace where there's harmony and respect

Despite having inspiring values, sometimes the organizational culture can be eroded and result in an atmosphere that is not conducive to collaboration or well-being.  While some healthy competition may stimulate performance, an excess of it can cause stress and conflict.


It is important and possible to develop essential workplace behaviors that foster respect and harmony, as well as creating an enabling environment where these behaviors are valued and rewarded.


Interactive workshops, mentoring programs and collaboration hubs are some of the tools that can help develop relevant awareness and skills in positive communication, conflict management, harassment prevention, emotional intelligence and team spirit.

INTERCULTURAL SKILLS

Organizations that embrace multiculturalism, diversity and inclusion perform better

Robust diversity and inclusion policies must be accompanied by a sustained support for the adoption of a fresh mindset and strong intercultural skills by all your workforce. 


While this might not happen overnight across your company,  it can happen a lot quicker and more easily than you might think.    Most people want a diverse and inclusive workplace, they are open to multiculturalism, but don't know that they can each have a role to play for this to happen.


By applying the foundation principles of cultural sensitivity, increasing awareness of one’s own subjective worldview and surfacing unconscious bias, your employees will be empowered to become more inclusive, and able to communicate across cultures. They can learn to focus on commonalities and leverage the wealth inherent in difference and uniqueness. 


This will benefit the company, but also enrich each individual's professional experience.
