Cracking the Collaboration Code

For many, simply the word collaboration evokes a jaded response, with memories of way too many meetings and post it note sessions. Collaboration is much more than a vibe. In this presentation, Simon shows audiences the difference between meaningful and unproductive collaboration, offering them a clear way forward. How do we get different parts of our team or organisation working together in a way that creates real value? How do we decide when to collaboration and when not to? How do we bridge the divides and silos in our organisation? Ideal for audiences whose success depends on working as part of a broader team. Read less

What are the 5 Practices of Making BOLD? Ideal for audiences who work in teams, or who lead teams. Read less

The Power of Buy In

How do we positively influence change without authority? What does it take to build strong relationships of trust? Ideal for audiences who are looking to influence change and generate action.

Simon recently worked with our sales staff to improve their effectiveness. Feedback from all the group was very positive with many colleagues asking "what next". From my perspective, he really made me think about how I perform, how we as a team work as well as generating an environment in our workshop for possible new strategies. We had a great workshop and will be looking to work with Simon for some time.
