Bubbling Up From The Inside

"Our team came up with 23?interventions to shift our business after?the process work you did with us and the challenging conversations you kick-started. Thanks for pushing us out of our comfort zone and helping us to dance with disruption."?As you can imagine, this?conversation with a client,?two weeks after their management conference, absolutely thrilled me! It's why I do what I do.

My work with teams?shifts mindsets and elevates team dynamics. By reducing levels of fear and?resistance?more people?choose to contribute and raise their hands.?The end result is that ideas and energy bubble up from within a team. Better quality contribution from team members shifts the bottom line and improves staff retention.?This only happens when you confront fear and build trust; when you reframe disruption. This is what I do.

There is a big difference between ideas and energy bubbling up from inside a team?versus old-fashioned top-down, command and control where all the ideas and solutions come from the person leading the team. What space is your team in?

If you are planning?a leadership, management or team conference,?let's?discuss how to unlock your team to create the?bubbling up effect.

I often kick off conferences with an opening keynote which flows?into a three-hour interactive session. Everything I do with a team is designed specifically around your objectives. I also work with organisations for two or three days at a time?if they want to include a strategy piece.

The benefits of working with me:

• I see what nobody else sees
• I hear what nobody else hears
• I think what nobody else has thought

What I do:

• Ditch complex management theory and speak human
• Help you to refine and focus your conference theme to make it more relevant and thought provoking
• Design creative and unusual processes that provide a fresh?element of surprise
• Provide memorable soundbites?and practical frameworks, conveyed with authenticity
• Help you strengthen your positioning?as the leader?within your team
• Break down walls within your team
• Address fears and the white elephants in the room
• Build?a sense of togetherness and belonging
• Level the playing fields,?building trust connection
• Lower?resistance to individual contribution, stimulating?robust?feedback
• Give everyone agency which has a tangible unifying effect

Wow, 23 new interventions!?Some aimed directly at shifting the bottom line and others at shifting the culture within the organisation. Interesingly, every one of them is people-centric in some way.?Whether it's?new business partnerships, collaboration, customer experience?or employee programmes, this business?has seen the value of?keeping the human in the middle?of everything.

When?people are amped to be at work, and are?bold enough to try new things, they stay relevant and growth happens.

Are the ideas and energy bubbling up from inside your team or organisation or are you always having to lead the charge??It can be another way. I'll show you how.

The energy was electric. The combination of boisterous and fast-paced activities to quieter more reflective ones in your session From Delivery to Impact, took us on a journey that bonded us and built trust, while helping us to look deeply within ourselves. You took us from the big picture to the personal, setting the tone for the rest of the year.

Nikki brought such energy, context and humanity into our session. She is an incredible speaker who exudes empathy and authenticity. She inspired our team to reconnect and reframe. It was such a necessary session for us and she gave us all the gift of each other again.
