The inspiration behind Canny Conversations was all of the tricky, half-hearted, mis-directed, mis-understood, well-intentioned-but-badly-executed, ill-thought-through or not-had-at-all conversations in the workplace. My vision is a world of better quality conversations: ⭐️ A world where we all say the right things to the right person, in the right tone of voice, at the right time and in the right location or through the right medium. ⭐️ And a world where the recipient takes it in the right way. There are large commercial benefits to ensuring that your organisation communicates effectively: 👍🏼 reduces all of that wasted time and effort of repeated or mis-understood conversations 👍🏼 leaders are better at leading - and people are more engaged 👍🏼 constructive and consistent behaviours are encouraged 👍🏼 productivity increases 👍🏼 you develop a culture that retains good quality people, and that good quality new people want to work in! My services cover four main areas: 1️⃣ Training & Development I design bespoke training and development programmes to help people to have better quality conversations. Things like: 👍 Leadership development (all great leaders need great communication skills) 👍 Sales training (in a non-salesy way) 👍 Speaking with confidence (e.g. Speaker prep for your conference) 👍 Handling difficult conversations (feedback, performance, conflict, etc) 2️⃣ Facilitation I can design, structure, and facilitate any workplace conversation that you may need independent support with. Things like: 💡 Strategy away days 💡 Team building sessions / Away Days 💡 Bringing a client and their supplier together to discuss contract changes 💡 Board-level workshops 3️⃣ One to one support 🤝 My one-to-one support can be anything from coaching programmes, consultancy or business advice to bespoke training and development. 4️⃣ Mediation As an accredited Workplace Mediator, I can help you make those difficult conversations a bit less tricky! I can help with: 🤼 relationship repair 🤝 conflict resolution 😐 stabilising emotional situations. I facilitate safe conversations where emotions are running high, and colleagues are in conflict – and work with teams, as well as with a pair. ⭐ And whatever I do for you, it’s always bespoke – no two conversations are ever the same. ⭐ If you think you might need some senior level support, or an external perspective on your people or culture – let’s have a conversation.
