Role Consultations
Why this work matters?
Role Consultation views our experiences, patterns of behaviour and inner worlds as resources that can be utilised across multiple roles and situations that we encounter in the world of work. I take a holistic view of and incorporate a multi-disciplinary understanding drawn from psychology, systems psychodynamics, neuroscience and body centred learning.
Who is this for?
People who seek this work are generally looking for some independent perspectives on their career, roles, feelings and behaviours in the world of work.
They are ready to invest time, energy and self management to undertake work at depth.
They are seeking change; ready to explore how to expand.
They desire different results and improved impact in the world of work.
Two ways to work together
Role Consultations
(The Longer Journey)
Together, we examine over time, your lived experience, challenges and opportunities in various roles. Through an in-depth exploration we explore the genesis of your beliefs and behaviours and how you show up in the world. We analyse the various organisational, societal and personal influences on your current roles.
This approach also provides insight into the intricacies of interpersonal, functional and task dynamics. Leaders operate within complex organisational systems, and their interactions with various stakeholders can greatly impact their success.
The aim is for leaders to enhance their ability to communicate effectively, manage conflicts, and build strong teams. By developing awareness, empathy, and the ability to regulate their emotions, leaders can create supportive work environments and forge meaningful connections with their teams. This heightened capacity enables leaders to make better-informed decisions and achieve positive outcomes.
Role Consultations
(The Shorter Journey)
We reduce roadblocks, identify opportunities and improve relationships that are inhibiting your progress now. These sessions will enable you to continue to be effective in your roles and improve your impact.
In developing solutions with clients, there are generally broad macro influences and objectives that are at play and these need to be balanced with shorter-term challenges and outcomes. My expertise lies in assessing the capacity and blocks related to people working together to achieve organisational objectives and how to leverage and transform these dynamics. Developing effective working relationships and processes to enable people to progress is at the heart of this work.

The Process
While every journey is different, the following is an indicative initial process of working together:
A model for work
Over the years I have been able to discern patterns of topics that people bring forward when working with their experiences at work. I have formulated them into categories that are useful to understand when examining the world of work. The categories intersect and influence each other, in small or large ways, depending on the topic at hand. This model assists people to move beyond a ‘me centric’ view of the world to one where multiple perspectives are brought into view.
