Organisations are complex living systems with a purpose of their own that needs to be in harmony with that of its members. Although conflicts must not define who we are, they are a sign that we exist and share our beliefs and values. If each person is true to oneself, we have the opportunity to transform conflict into cooperation, whilst making the most of our differences. People have more than enough creativity to imagine and work towards a better future. If I stop this belief, I will know that the time has come to stop training and coaching.’
‘My favourite quotation is from Antoine de Saint-Exupery: "One man may hit the mark, another blunder; but heed not these distinctions. Only from the alliance of the one, working with and through the other, are great things born."’
Background
I have been a Consultant for over 20 years. I have been involved on a wide range of projects from an optical system test bed for satellites to the ramp-up of a nuclear pellet fabrication plant. I have consulted for Airbus in production, engineering and information systems. For the past few years, my focus has been on working with medium size units to lay the foundations for future activities and associated changes. This has further developed my practice of group management techniques and strategic coaching, whilst helping me to maintain a very practical and operational approach towards innovation and change management.
I have chosen to build bridges between martial arts ethics and coaching attitudes. I have designed a situational test, based on the five elements systemic model from Asian culture. The results of this test are used as a coaching thread that stimulates the professional dynamic.
I joined the ABA Faculty as a Senior Consultant in the Human Performance team to help participants experiment with new behaviours and attitudes to deal better with today's challenging environment.
