Why Choose Us

Effective communication skills are the key ingredient for leading high performing teams and are crucial for individuals working as a part of a team. Understanding how team members think and communicate is vital to create an environment that people want to work in.

Challenges in a workplace are often the result of poor communication. Sometimes it seems easier to avoid having those tough conversations rather than create tension or conflict within a team. However this avoidance can be very costly in time, money and resources. 

Often people progress into management and leadership positions because they performed well in an operational role. Leadership requires the development of advanced communication skills.

Everyone communicates differently – in order to create a high performing team it is important to understand your own communication style and be able to identify and respect how others prefer to communicate. When teams are communicating effectively, productivity and moral is maximised leading to project success.

Communication is the key to creating a positive culture!

What People Say

 

As Project Director for Pacifico delivering the Harwood Bridge project in Northern NSW, I’ve been assisted and supported by an amazing high performance team. However, I’d say that working as contractor under the delivery partner model was very challenging and uncomfortable at the beginning.

Thanks to Abby’s facilitation and workshops attended by the contractor and client leaders, the initial threats and concerns turned into a very strong collaborative approach, breaking communications barriers and ego’s, focusing on those things that are required for success rather than turning into contractual clauses every time. The result is a new model in client – contractor relationship based on trust, confidence, collaboration and alignment with the main targets. I’ve never been on a project where everybody involved or impacted is jumping for joy.
