MY VALUES

I love sea creatures – particularly dolphins. They have become the ‘spirit’ of my private practice and the 5 lighthouses of my personal brand.

Hey, if you can have a personal spirit animal, why can’t you have one for your business?! 

Help.

For centuries there have been credible accounts of dolphins saving humans from drowning and shark attacks.  They are highly empathic and are good at sensing human need.

In everything I do I provide practical, pragmatic solutions that solve your business problems through the application of my advice and experience as a senior Human Resources practitioner but in a way that feels right for you. 

Promote Growth, Healing & Renewal.

Research has shown that dolphins heal remarkably quickly and produce antibiotics in their blubber but long before this scientific discovery, dolphins were held as symbols of healing and healthy growth.  In their pods their attend to the sick.  Across many different cultures dolphins have been associated with Gods and Goddesses linked not only to the sea but to rebirth and nurturing.

I offer solutions that help my clients grow – themselves, their teams and ultimately their businesses.  Often my clients will be working in difficult circumstances or have things that keep them up at night.  We work together and I inject warmth, positivity, relentless energy and optimism in our relationship that my clients can draw upon and heal from.

Nurture Strong, Harmonious Relationships.

Dolphins are incredibly loyal and friendly creatures, even holding hands as they swim.  More recent research has even shown that dolphins have ‘bromances’ while other species demonstrate conflict and competition-based rivalry!  In folklore they represent peace, harmony and joy.

I believe the way to get ahead is by being better together!  I love building trust with my clients and providing a safe space where we can work through any issues they might be experiencing in the workplace. 

I will always advocate for collaboration and teamwork. In my conflict resolution work, I break down barriers, silos and cut through politics to bring teams to more harmonious ways of working where tension and friction is reduced. 

To date, every single one of my clients has come from a personal recommendation or pre-existing relationship in my network and I use the power of my network to continue helping clients when I’m not the right person for the job!

Be Loud, Honest & Clear in Commucation.

Dolphins are social creatures that live in pods and love to talk!  They are incredibly chatty animals who love to interact with others.

You’ll always know if I’m in a room! I speak to share my experience, learnings, insights and perceptions on your people workstreams.  I’ll always have a view, idea or opinion for you on any topic.  I’m not just a mirror, reflecting back but an active participant in the discussion.  I am passionate about all things people and hope to inspire others by sharing my enthusiasm.

Curious, Creative and Playful.

Naturally energetic and highly intelligent animals, dolphins use echo-location abilities to learn about the world around them and they love to share things they have found or done with other members of their pod.  Unlike other species, adult dolphins continue to engage in play as a form of social bonding.

To truly understand you and your business I will engage in plenty of discovery and exploration work.  I stay curious – never judgemental. 

I take my work seriously... but I don’t take myself seriously!  I believe we should always have fun whenever we are growing ourselves and building our businesses so expect a playful, provocative… and sometimes just downright naughty doses of humour from me.
