Wisdom is the Holy Grail for Organisation Development today, it can transform an intergenerational culture but it cannot be taught. However, it can be guided within a framework for growth. Through this process, each generation finds their own personal and unique wisdom within the culture of a wiser organisation.
New for 2019. Workplace Wisdom and Work Life Balance International join forces to offer services
Workplace Wisdom and Work Life Balance International are uniquely qualified to work with you. Our values and aims are closely aligned and we have worked in closely related fields for over 30 years with over 60 years corporate and community experience between us. Starting work together in London, we now operate independently across Australia and New Zealand. Today we have decided to join forces in an area that we believe is vitally important. Here are some questions we would like organisations to ask themselves:
If the answers to these questions lead you to further exploration - we are here to take that journey with you!
- Do we have the best mix of age groups at work?
- Do we recognise the needs of employees over 50 and do we have policies and practises to develop their potential?
- Do our leaders achieve great results by applying flexibility of time and place fairly within their teams and working groups?
- Do our leaders have the skills to use the potential of multigenerational teams and groups to create real and sustainable results plus a respectful and vibrant learning culture?
- Do we know how many employees experience stress as a result of their caring responsibilities? Do our leaders know how to help these employees manage their load?
If the answers to these questions lead you to further exploration - we are here to take that journey with you!

Our mainstream offerings
Talks
Inspirational, informative and entertaining talks (from 40 to 90 minutes).
Use on conferences, lunchtime sessions at work, or team input within meetings.
This is a useful way to develop interest and momentum or to impart a few key practical habits.
Coaching and Mentoring
Individual and small group (up to five) mentoring.
A very personal and effective approach to learning which can be face to face, on-line, or both. When you have a few specific leaders that you would like to develop. Mentoring in pairs with partners who need to work together can be very effective...peers or manager / team members in particular.
Workshops
Collective learning in practical and interactive sessions with five to fifteen people (half to two days).
Learning in a group is always effective because we learn from others experiences and larger group allow more interactive exercises and practice. A team learning together will also strengthen their long-term work performance.
On-line webinars, surveys, kits and materials
A method for meetings, small groups, or for flexible self-learning.
When time is short or people are scattered geographically, we can use on-line meetings, workshops, videos, Power Point presentations and other online resources that people can use in their own time.
The Wisdom Mosaic and Building a Portfolio Lifestyle
We develop awareness around a mosaic of 'wiring for wisdom' and use a 5 step journey to a portfolio Lifestyle.
Profiling identifies simple ways to develop best practices in the unique way that each person's brain operates. It highlights the diverse benefits that these differences can bring to wisdom in an intergenerational group:
Thinking
Energy Traits
Disposition
Character
We do not attempt to create personality profiles - we believe that 'typing' can be limiting for developing wisdom. However, we will work alongside any profiling you already use - HBDI, MBTI, DISC etc. Adding more profiling can be confusing, we integrate to clarify.
