What we believe in
Your organisation is only as effective as your people: how you share, support, challenge and motivate each other. Our professional expertise in conversational excellence and conflict management and resolution provides the foundation of a better workplace culture and improved performance: replacing the burble of uncertainty, disagreements and misunderstandings with clarity, trust and confidence.
We use Conversational Intelligence, the interpersonal soft skills needed to have interactive conversations, to develop Relational Resilience between staff at all levels. Enabling individuals to bring their ‘whole self’ to work, with the aim of creating an engaged culture where productivity and innovation can occur without the fear of reprisal, we call these Clear Air workplaces.
