ONe to One SUPPORT
Sometimes the situation isn't the whole story.
I help people make sense of what’s happening, understand their own part in it and find new choices in how they respond.
Different people bring out different things in us, and vice versa. The same action can get a completely different reaction on a different day or in a different context. Sometimes you need to explore the way you see the situation and the part you play in it, and work out what might be useful next.
A sign this might be for you
⚪ You keep finding yourself in the same difficult relationship patterns
⚪ There’s a relationship at work that seems harder than it should be
⚪ You’re unsure how to approach a conversation you need to have
⚪ You’re second-guessing your judgement
⚪ You want to understand your own impact on others
⚪ It’s time to develop your confidence, influence or interpersonal skills
⚪ You’re stepping into something new and want somewhere to think through what it means for you
One to One Support
One-to-one support is the most personalised support I offer. You need what you need, at this time, specific to who you are and what you’re facing.
Maybe you're stepping into leadership for the first time and want to build your confidence. Maybe you're an established leader working out how to handle a difficult situation, or an HR or People leader wanting to strengthen relationships, increase your influence or navigate organisational dynamics.
You might know exactly what you want to work on, or you might want someone to bounce ideas around or ask the questions you didn’t think (or want?) to ask yourself.
There isn't a prescribed programme for this work.
Sometimes there is a particular challenge to work through. Sometimes you want regular space to think, reflect and develop over time. We work out what makes sense for you, and that can change as your needs change.
..a wonderful listener, thoughtful and challenging (at the right times). Yvonne has been fundamental in helping me understand how to maximize my colour strengths and recognize when I am not supporting myself or my colleague when I am not at my best. I feel empowered and motivated to continue my development as a senior leader and encourage anyone looking to feel the same to seek out Yvonne's talents and skills.

You don't need to have it all worked out before we talk. Otherwise, why would you be looking for a sounding board?
Bring whatever you're dealing with and we'll start there.
