Complexity practitioner, developmental coach and consultant for CEO’s and their senior leaders who have an ambition to thrive and grow their vision within environments of increasing uncertainty with unknowable ambiguity. Intent is clear, while focus is often derailedThe problem I most often hear about from leaders are when they and their team are embroiled in moments that matter, they struggle to stay present and available to what is actually happening in the discussion. They have confided that despite combining will power with their significant industry acumen, if they are honest, their thoughts are drawn unintentionally to and distracted by reacting to specific content, circumstances, or a personality. I’ve heard these often unspoken yet shared moments described as an entanglement that overwhelms their otherwise confident objective decision-making. Something feels off.What I look for in a leader’s own on-going discovery of their complexity includes:• Their previous ways of working no longer work as well or not at all• The resulting tension/struggles are increasingly hard to compensate for in daily operational work and relationships• Outcomes are deteriorating and inconsistent. Over the last decades, my team and I have supported our international clientele through deliveries including global cultural transformation consulting, facilitation of meetings and senior level individual and pairs coaching with Novartis, British Telecom, Elsevier (RELX), PTC Therapeutics, Otsuka Pharmaceuticals, Campbell Communities, Gilead, Sanofi, wellforce, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Tesco, Roche Pharma, Honda of America, Tufts Medicine, Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, ThoughtWorks, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Kimberly-Clark LATAM, Heineken USA, Philips and multiple global engagements for Unilever. What I’ve seen in practice is a practical approach to delivering consistent outcomes during troubled times by developing expertise in themselves, aimed at overcoming their “conditioned response.” Think of it this way, when does a circumstance overwhelm the quality of your thinking despite your efforts? This is a leader’s edge and the place, in my experience, where developmental efforts will yield the highest rate of return. My approach is customized. I bring a wide variety of approaches that leaders can draw on until they develop their own version. When leaders become an expert of themselves and leverage their well-developed business acumen through a new lens, that’s when solutions come into focus and next steps are taken with an inspired contagious momentum.
