Ethics – Why is it more important than ever for organisations to be ethical? How can you build an ethical work culture and what are the practical ways that you can handle ethical issues at work? What do managers today need to know in order to safeguard their own reputations and keep their employers out of trouble.

Trust – why is trust in organisations more important now than ever? Why it is the basis for high employee engagement. How to build a trust-based company culture and how to re-build trust when it has broken down. How to understand what your own personal sources of trust are and how to enhance them.

The company of the future – why the old rules of the game are changing fast. What characterises the companies who will be the innovators in future and who will become magnets for customers and the best employees? What do organisations today need to know and do to make sure that they get and stay ahead of the game?

The Stone-Age Company – what is it?  Why is it a problem and how it needs to change? What are the enlightened organisations doing and what can we learn from them?

Generation Y – who is Generation Y and why do organisations need to understand them? Why and how are they different and how to manage and engage them as employees and customers? 

Stress resilience – Stress resilience (not stress management) is an important subject for organisations to get to grips with. High employee engagment levels are not possible without a high degree of stress resilience.This is a fascinating workshops that uses individual diagostics. It draws upon clinical and psychological research into the people who tend to be stress resilient, highly engaged positive and happy.

Mentoring
One of Sally’s great passions is mentoring. She mentors all sorts of people from a 29 year old business consultant, a consultant facing an ethical dilemma and a newly appointed Head of Employee Engagement who has limited experience of the subject.

Her style is informal, supportive and challenging. She is pragmatic and practical and helps her client to increase their effectiveness and confidence in whichever area of their work they wish to focus on.
