Rest easy, as Pip will design and create an engagement survey that provides your people an opportunity to provide honest, candid feedback then work with you and the team to create action plans and implement best practice initiatives that will help you increase overall engagement levels year on year.

The Engagement Package includes:

  • Full engagement survey design & creation
  • Planned communications for your team
  • Support to achieve maximum participation
  • Engagement action planning with your teams
  • Post survey accountability checks and support

Business Strategy

As a business owner it is easy to get lost in the mechanics of what you do. How often do you stop and take a look at the bigger picture, to make sure your business is heading in the right direction? Do you have a vision, mission and values? Are your people aligned? Are you ahead of your competitors? Is your market changing? What’s holding you back?

Our personalised service will encourage you to think and plan strategically. We will help you to:

  • Complete a SWOT analysis of your business
  • Determine your key strategic focus areas (e.g. Systems & Processes, Workflow Management, Performance Management,  Business Growth, Marketing etc)
  • Create clear Action Plans to keep you and your team accountable for progress and results (SMART goals)

DiSC Profiling & Workshops

The DiSC model of human behaviour is a globally recognised tool designed to help employees understand themselves and others while learning to appreciate different priorities, preferences and the value each individual brings to the workplace. With personalised insights and actionable strategies, the DiSC profile allows participants learn how to adapt to the DiSC style of others build better relationships at work, improving communication and collaboration.

At Bona Fide Consulting we use DiSC as a personal development tool in executive/career coaching, and we facilitate DiSC workshops for your whole team. Clients often incorporate a half-day DiSC workshop into a Team Building Day – and yes, we can help you plan the whole day! The DiSC profile and workshop covers –

  • Discovering your DiSC style
  • Understanding the style of others
  • Building more effective relationships
  • To view a sample DiSC profile or for pricing please reach out to Pip any time.

Leadership Development

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a Leader”. Investing in the leaders within your business, present and future, is critical to your long term success. We have designed a range of Leadership Workshops that build the self awareness and capability of your leaders and give them the skills they need to get the best from their teams.

Workshops often include personality profiling (DISC) and are a fun, interactive way of boosting your leadership strength and providing a consistent leadership framework across the business.

All workshops can be tailored to suit your particular business or group of leaders and can be further enhanced by 1:1 mentoring for leaders who wish to further explore their personal leadership style and strengths.

Whatever the change – business model, structure, service delivery, target market or systems and processes, we are committed to helping you get the change process right, and we know this is going to be vital given the rate at which technology is advancing in todays world. Don’t leave change to chance – take control and let us help your teams prepare for change, understand and support the responses to change, and embed effective change.
