Meet the Team
Debbie Connors - Senior HR Practitioner, Generative Coach, Teacher
My passion for personal development was ignited whilst working as HR Manager at a blue chip FMCG company. They invested heavily in my development for which I am eternally grateful. It opened me up to psychometric and personality profiling where I had my own epiphany moment. A few years later I trained as a Business/Executive Coach. Ever since, I have continued to invest in my own personal and professional development.
This investment has paid off - it means that I can manage challenging people and situations with ease and grace most of the time and I have many tools that supports a different way of coaching and mentoring others. What is clear to me is that old style training and management isn't working and a more collaborative, creative and coaching approach is needed for healthy organisations to thrive and prosper.
- I support managers and leaders to deliver effective and successful HR
- I coach and mentor leaders to develop emotional and social intelligence, improve their soft skills and change unhelpful mind states
- I use my advanced coaching skills for mediation
My qualifications include:
-
IAGC Licensed Generative Change Coach and Teaching Assistant with Robert Dilts and Stephen Gilligan from the International Association for Generative Change (IAGC) who bring cutting edge approaches to their work
-

-

Are you ready for positive change?
Huge shifts are happening, where people are changing jobs and voting with their feet - this is a signal for change. Workplaces will need to develop employment practices that are based on doing meaningful and fulfilling work, creating a sense of belonging through community, being part of something bigger and where the motto is "you matter, I care and I want the best for you" (Deepak Chopra)
Are you ready to develop your managers and leaders to be skilful managers, coaches and facilitators because they will need a mix of skills to successfully manage the existing and next generation of talent coming through the system.
I would predict that the future of work will be measured not just on profit, but on the impact a business has on the lives of their employees, families and the community at large.
