WORKPLACE WISDOM




Practical Wisdom. 
'The ability or result of an ability to think and act
utilizing knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, and insight'


​"In mid-life, you're beginning to maximise the ability to use the entirety
of the information in your brain on an everyday, on-going, second-to-second basis.

Biologically, that's what wisdom is".

George Bartzokis, Neurologist






  I help to build wiser individuals and organisations

because...



We have Information overload and wisdom scarcity

Technology is advancing at the expense of social skills


We are losing perspective through 'busyness'

Advancing technology is encouraging work overload and anxiety

We have the advantage of an ageing population with the potential for wisdom

Many organisations are missing the opportunity and strength of inter-generational groups working together

Join me in developing future wisdom



I offer support in three fundamental areas of wisdom development


1. Improve well being at work to promote better results and happier employees (for everyone)

Today's wisdom requires us to create organisations that encourage and support the whole person at work. So we need to sleep well to work well, maintain and build stronger minds and develop better soft skills in leaders. The benefits of this not only improve the lives of each person but delivers greater productivity, creativity and adaptability without stress and absenteeism though ill health. The other 'spin- off' benefit is better relationships between people...when employees are happier and less stressed they are more likely to respond to others in a more relaxed and friendly way. Teaching skills alone will not change this underlying emotional blockage.

Once the underlying emotional and physical potential of each employee and each team is released,  the potential of any organisation is released.

​
2. Create Leaders as Elders (Employees aged 45+)

The role of Wise Elder has been lost at work but it is important in a human enterprise. All wise people are old but not all old people are wise! Wisdom is a learned characteristic. Inter-generational working depends on employees over 45 developing and contributing their unique wisdom . Many leaders over 45 have the potential for wisdom but have not realised it. We help people who are open to learning make the most of their age and wisdom by developing perspective, emotional and social maturity. This is a skill that younger people cannot offer and is a huge mine of untapped value within most organisations.

 Wise leaders are able to improve collective working by role modeling and offering reverse mentoring to others


3. Support Emerging Leaders (aged 25- 40)

Building a successful organisation employing four or five generations depends on leadership. We help young people to develop a framework for combining wisdom with the people skills needed for working with others. The approach is based on self-awareness, social skills, perspective, intuition and character. This builds a life-guidance framework for future wisdom and offers young people meaningful growth and development through their 30's and 40's. Young leaders learn how to work with older and younger colleagues through empathy and being flexible.Workshops and coaching for emerging leaders aged 20 - 35 compliment the work we do with older leaders and set the culture on a path to inter-generational success.

Build confidence in young leaders when facing with multi generational issues
