We can help organisations with the specific challenges faced by managers and employees, such as stress, managing change and working as a team.
The Communicube is a 21st century multipurpose communication tool, invented by Dr John Casson for his therapeutic work. It is a transparent, open, five level container, with a grid of twenty five squares printed on each layer.
I was introduced to the Communicube at a workshop being run by John, and quickly started to see its potential. I had found myself getting frustrated at a number of planning groups that I had attended, which were based on a process of round-table discussions. I felt that this process stifled creativity, tended to favour the most outspoken, and led to outcomes which were bland and disappointing.
By comparison the Communicube seemed to offer an approach which was stimulating, encouraged creativity and lateral thinking, and allowed everyone to participate on an equal footing.
Group Facilitation
Where an organisation is going through a period of change, or working relationships are coming under strain, sometimes it can be helpful to organise a group activity led by independent facilitators. Such an activity needs to be carefully planned and properly organised to ensure that the desired outcomes are achieved.
If stress is a problem in your organisation there are a number of ways we can help. Stress management strategies can be put in place, firstly identifying the causes of stress, educating employees in techniques for coping better, and providing assistance for staff who are already suffering symptoms.
We offer a 30-minute presentation on stress in the workplace which we can present to help raise awareness.
In times of economic pressures and uncertainties, one thing we can be certain of is that there are challenges ahead. We developed the programme in response to a shift in the needs of our clients. Rather than focus on stress and it's effects, clients were coming to us asking what they could do about it. They wanted to rise to the challenges they faced, learn to manage themselves and their teams better so that they could build for the future. We believe that in 2012 the need for individuals, teams and organisations to build and practice resilience will never be greater. We don’t know what challenges lie ahead, but drawing on our inner resources of strength provides us with the ability to overcome obstacles, build for the future and achieve greater things. Our programme aims to help individuals harness that innate, inner strength.

Characteristics of a group
Before starting my new career in psychotherapy and life coaching, I worked for 20 years in technical fields - the chemical industry, process control and automation, programming, software and information technology. I became aware that technical people were often the creative life-blood of their organisations, but all too often did not receive the status and financial rewards they deserved. All too often it was the financial and sales people who called the shots, while the programmers and engineers were bogged down with problem solving and fire fighting.
