Hi, I’m Shola!
We work with organisations and C-Suite execs who are experiencing these issues:
Your D.E.I. programs aren’t going as smoothly as you’d hoped, and you’re struggling to get everyone on the same page.
Remote or in-office, employees are complaining that managers aren’t listening and communication breakdowns are leading to lower engagement.
Employee churn is up, productivity is down and it’s affecting the bottom line.
The number one reason employees leave their organisation is because of their manager.
Replacing an employee can cost between 50 – 60% of that employee’s annual salary, with overall costs ranging anywhere from 90-200%. Not only have you lost the employee but there’s a negative impact on team morale and output. And when a popular employee leaves it can lead to a trickle, or even a flow, of others through the door.
Listening, compassionate communication and empathy skills are areas that many managers and teams don’t find easy.
However, empathy skills have been shown to affect intent to leave, extent of burnout and ability to juggle work and life challenges. Manager empathy also affects feelings of inclusion and psychological safety.
Isn’t it time you trained your employees to be more empathetic communicators?
What makes us different:
As a woman, a person of colour and an introvert I understand, and have lived, some of the struggles your organisation is facing right now. I’ve worked with a range of industries from tech to financial and professional services, media, FMCG, healthcare and beyond.
We break everything down into implementable frameworks and models. That way, as soon as you leave the session you have tools and insights you can use immediately.
I’m a LinkedIn Learning instructor, author of 2 books, and an award-winning speaker with clients located from California to Canary Wharf. People call our work ‘transformative’, ‘engaging’, and ‘easy to absorb’.
What we offer:
Empathy Skills for Leaders programs
Empathy, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion programs & training for all employees
Communication programmes & Team Facilitation sessions
