Who We Work With

“Know Thyself” advised Socrates. It’s taken a pandemic for us to double down on answering this as self-awareness becomes reinforced as the top skill of any leader with the events triggered by George Floyd’s murder acting as a major wake-up call.

In 2014 Jay Abraham and Carlos Dias wrote their classic on “the science of winning and losing for CEOs in the 21st Century” called The CEO Who Sees Around Corners. Abraham has spent his entire career solving complex problems and fixing under-performing businesses so highlights techniques that broaden perspectives, and use accurate-thinking to uproot hidden roadblocks about self and others through masterminding, listening and interacting with employees, exchanging ideas, and developing trust and loyalty.

Columbia Business School Professor and corporate consultant Rita McGrath, in 2019 looked at paradigmatic shifts in the business landscape which she called “inflection points.” In her book Seeing Around Corners: How to Spot Inflection Points in Business Before They Happen, she claims the only thing to be afraid of in the future is our own unwillingness to change.

Sales individuals and teams are vital in any organisation. 

They carry the responsibility of representing the company and expressing its solutions and products.

They work to build personal and business relationship with all clients in order to help them acquire their needs and requirements.

Salespeople need to be great managers to be able to maintain the relationship with clients, before, during and after they put their trust in the company and its products.

We work closely with sales “soldiers” to make sure they plan, execute and win their “battle” with the best communication skills possible. 

Many job roles have seen boundaries blur – working at home saved time on the commute but added hours by making switching off impossible.

Vitality’s Healthy Hybrid report in partnership with the Royal Society for the Arts, Manufactures and Commerce, found that whilst 55% of home workers said working from home meant they had found it easier to get more work done, however on average they also found themselves working three extra hours per week.

Key questions become: What’s happy and meaningful work? Have you taken the time to clarify your values? Do you have the vision for the work that resonates with you? What is the training you need to not just give you career progress but also fulfilment?

You are happy working at your kitchen table – the idea of hiring staff isn’t on the cards and that makes you a solopreneur.

The idea of a traditional j.o.b. is a no-go as work for you is about lifestyle – as a self-starter, you feel fulfilled working alone and motivation isn’t a problem. You are focused, needing minimal space, and with fast wifi you’re good-to-go. Maybe in time you’ll expand and add a team but that bigger entrepreneurial spirit is a next step.

It’s rewarding because you control your time and determine your direction. Whilst you aren’t looking to grow an empire, keeping up with trends by dipping into training on tech; time hacks; GDPR legalities; presentation-style tweaks; clear and inclusive visual, written and spoken communication; and so on helps keep your business future proofed with relevant L&D that is tax deductible.
