Fostering collaboration
Getting people on board in a way that fosters collaboration
Just getting on with others in the workplace is not enough to achieving personal or organisational objectives. The ability to truly influence others and negotiate effectively is essential for building stronger working relationships that drive growth and performance. Understanding others perspectives and our own emotional intelligence is at the very heart of our abilities to persuade and influence.
Creating better working relationships happens one conversation at a time. How this happens will depend on many different factors such as current quality of stakeholder relationships, your own levels of confidence and your own awareness of how you ‘come across’ to others.
It takes a strong blend of capability and confidence to navigate away from making do with artificial harmony and lean more into difficult conversations, shape outcomes and turn challenging situations into opportunities for growth.
What our clients say about us
Anna Whitton, CEO, Via
“Graeme has supported us with our Executive Team development. He facilitated two really productive days with our team, having worked with us to thoroughly prepare and tailor to our needs. His time, support and challenge was really effective and has made a difference to the way we work and lead as a team, but also to the way in which we are now working with our new Senior Leadership Team.
Working with Graeme and People Business was a worthwhile investment in our development and he exceeded our expectations. The developmental work was thought-provoking, fun and Graeme created and facilitated a safe space in which we could challenge and support each other effectively. We intend to work with Graeme and People Business again and indeed, we are currently doing so!”
