Are you preparing your team for leadership, or merely equipping them to manage tasks?
When it comes to professional development, the focus is often on performance – how to get the job done, done well, on time, and on budget. With so much focus on competencies, it’s easy to lose focus on real development for your people.
Yet they hold the potential for the organisation’s future.
If you’re frustrated by a lack of care or responsibility in your organisation, it’s a sign that development is required, not just training.
It’s time for development when:
- Key individuals are feeling stuck or anxious
- Interpersonal dramas are resurfacing
- There are lower levels of trust and momentum
- Staff are at the effect of stress and overwhelm
- There are insensitivities around diversity and inclusion
Hi, I’m Ben, a professional developmental coach
Throughout my career, I’ve sought to learn more about both myself and the people around me.
My journey has helped me achieve deep personal growth and also understand how many others, just like me, are looking for support to do the same.
With 20 years of experience in construction, international development, and mental health, I understand what is required to build sustainable, purposeful, and resilient teams. I’m now an accredited therapeutic counsellor and certified developmental coach. For almost a decade, I’ve been supporting a wide range of clients, from marginalized communities in remote Australia to professional leaders right here in North West Tasmania.
While I’ve been a natural ‘people helper’ for most of my life, I don’t believe you can lead someone to a place you’ve never been. So although evidence-based methods and theory are both crucial to generating change, I also actively take on my own challenges in business and life, and continually work to expand my own awareness in order to give back.
