We create spaces where you can safely share your opinions and feelings without fear of reprisal, job loss, or other consequences that cause emotional distress. We encourage teams and individuals to examine the system within which they are operating and to ask questions of others and themselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6140c247ad5a255f1c4db8/57627f09-f638-4002-a0a6-8b7b8612d5e8/_MG_5293.jpg SYSTEMIC TEAM COACHING - Systemic team coaching Teams have internal and external stakeholders. With each stakeholder a team will have two fundamental two dimensions of interaction: tasks or jobs that need to be done, and interpersonal and inter-organisational relationships. Successful teams learn how to develop each of these domains, and learn how to learn for themselves going forwards. A team is then able to sustain its performance, well-being and learning long after working with us. This framework is a development of the ‘The Five Disciplines’ for high performing teams’ model created by Professor Peter Hawkins of Henley Business School. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6140c247ad5a255f1c4db8/1585406499534-CMGJ4HUP04CBOXUZS6OX/Screen+Shot+2020-03-28+at+14.37.14.png SYSTEMIC TEAM COACHING - 360 review for the team The online Team Connect 360® survey supports systemic team coaching by providing an insightful picture of the team through the eyes of their different stakeholders in the following areas: We use the Team Connect 360 report to catalyse a short series of structured workshops that generate long-term learning in teams and improve the team’s capacity to deliver. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6140c247ad5a255f1c4db8/1585575733085-9QXY30UMXRD0NE40WW3B/IMG_20190826_180714.jpg SYSTEMIC TEAM COACHING - Mindfulness for Teams Self-reflection exercises help teams to reflect on your perceived truths, supporting you to release stress, clear your mind and improve your well-being.

Moreover, our bodies store the stresses of daily life – from work, travel and relationships – to the detriment of our wellbeing. Releasing these tensions enables you to focus on the ‘now’, mobilise your energy for new projects and feel more engaged at work. Our approach is a combination of three powerful practices: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6140c247ad5a255f1c4db8/1585600165027-X5TXX2U5N7BLW0BBWOJZ/image-asset.jpeg WELLBEING - Draw out the ‘Wise Self’ What might feel real in the moment is what we typically react to. On reflection we sometimes realise that our reactions were not what we would have chosen if we had had more time to reflect or less stress from our surroundings. Our ‘wise’ selves would have been responsive rather than reactive. We draw out your ‘wise self’ so that this conscious presence becomes an on-going resource in your daily life https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6140c247ad5a255f1c4db8/1585922044937-LKRZDA9CFSAD8K3ZNZOZ/_MG_5077.jpg WELLBEING - Cultivate presence Mindfulness exercises help you to reflect on your perceived truths, supporting you to release stress, clear your mind and improve your well-being.

Shiatsu, which in Japanese means ‘finger pressure, is a form of massage therapy on fully clothed bodies. It works on pressure points to help bring balance to the body based on the principles of Chinese medicine. https://matrixconsultants.co.uk/consulting daily 0.75 2024-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6140c247ad5a255f1c4db8/1585576750586-B0E21Z9RLN09VUFNW2Y9/image-asset.jpeg CONSULTING - Supporting organisational growth We support universities, charities and SMEs to maximise their impact and ensure profitability whilst taking care of their people and wider stakeholders.

Higher education institutions benefit from good relationships with alumni, as long as they ensure that students have a good student experience. It is the quality of those relationships over many years that bring alumni to think of supporting their alma mater. A good student experience is the strongest driver for good alumni relations.
