I'm dedicated to helping businesses transform culture and engage employees, through enhanced emotional intelligence, psychological safety and a specialised communication philosophy and model, based on compassion and the principles of nonviolent communication. My vision is to change the way we speak:* with others - so that meaningful dialogue replaces standoffs, grudges or silences and leads to greater connection, more fulfilling relationships, and more effective outcomes within and outside of work;* with ourselves - so that we gain a greater understanding of our own 'internal communication' and choose when to replace unconscious, habitual reactions with conscious, considered response.A professional communication consultant, mediator, trainer, and Psychological Safety Facilitator, I’ve studied and worked in the area of communication with international organisations for the last 33 years, from developing communication strategy to managing change communication projects, troubleshooting communication issues to training and coaching managers and teams to higher performance, introducing a psychological safety culture and building mechanisms for mindfully handling conflict within teams to offset the time and cost of formal disciplinary routes. I work with CEOs and board/HR directors looking to boost employee engagement and wellbeing and build high-performing teams, as well as optimising financial performance and future proofing the organisation. And with SMEs wishing to grow their businesses. I also work with teams to identify and input solutions for specific communication needs, and coach executives and individuals in personal communication skills for heightening career potential. Proven skills in CommPassion Communication Skills training, psychological safety, business transformation, culture change, conflict management, workplace mediation, emotional intelligence, vision, values, mission, strategy and objectives, measuring success, relationship building, troubleshooting comms issues, and helpline listening through the excellent training of Samaritans for whom I volunteer.Please feel free to contact me at penny@commpassion.co.uk or on +44 (0)7887 946523Website: www.commpassion.co.uk WHAT OTHERS SAY: “Penny’s influence was immense as we transformed staff engagement through massively improved internal communication...truly releasing the locked up potential of the company."
