True Nature in Business

...right now there is a talent crunch, a talent shortage, and employers are competing to retain people – at the same time the pace of day to day living seems to be increasing and attitudes to work are changing. Add to that the generational impact and you’ve got some interesting workplace challenges.

"Leave your problems at the factory gate" – a well worn phrase that probably sounds familiar. Did you know it relates to a 19th century theory of running a successful business?

Yet here we are in the 21st century still trying to leave our problems behind – which of course is impossible. True Nature practitioners work extensively in the corporate environment implementing our health and wellbeing programs. With post-graduate qualifications in business as well as counselling, our senior management experience is contemporary, current and relevant.

Our employee assistance programs are designed for small–medium sized enterprises, you pay-as-you go for the solutions you need:

• Counselling and referral services
• Workplace Mediation
• Coaching for managers
• Health and wellbeing seminars
• Team building and team visioning activities

We work daily in the business sector, so we’re confident that what we offer works...

Employee Assistance

...our approach to employee assistance is very different and flexibly designed for the contemporary workplace.

Designed for small–medium sized enterprises, True Nature offers an extensive range of contemporary and creative pay-as-you-need workplace support activities and solutions that help you to increase your value proposition to your team members.

Each program is individually designed for each specific workplace – we don’t do “boxed” solutions.

Instead, we draw on our current experience working with a range of contemporary corporate relationship, motivation and value issues to deliver modern, customised solutions.

Our aim is to foster healthy workplace relationships, attitudes and behaviors that contribute to inspired and balanced living...

Leadership

High on just about everyone’s list is to find meaning, relevance and purposefulness in the work they do. The role of the leader is to shape the organisation toward its desired results. Key to achieving these results is the way leaders navigate the changing world of work by fostering healthy, balanced, imaginative and creative workplace relationships.

Contemporary leaders carry a community responsibility to build emotionally agile organisations that balance results with the way work is done. Workplace leadership is important and so is activated followership. When both are energised the organisation is infused with a passion that extends into the broader community. We design interventions that activate Transformational Leadership practices.

When workplace relationships breakdown they’re often easily written off as “personality clashes” and many of the solutions offered only work with the surface issues. We don’t! We know that when relationships breakdown all of the symptoms are merely signposts that offer an invitation for deeper exploration. So that’s where we focus our work with individuals, leaders and teams.

Our view is that it’s easy to get caught in the cycle of symptoms rather than open to the opportunity to guide people to work deeper and learn more about what drives their behaviours and the choices they make.

Real and sustainable workplace transformation starts with every individual that makes up the workplace. We design, develop and deliver workplace interventions that start with raising this level of conscious awareness...

The Working Spirit

...quite simply, this is a program about being fully alive and congruent to the moments that shape your work day and explores situations that you find difficult to deal with. It moves way beyond traditional workplace communication, conflict resolution and leadership programs.

For leaders, and aspiring leaders, the skill of reflection is one of the most critical (and underused) skills you can develop. Delving into workplace situations that you find challenging and difficult and examining your reactions to them will do more for your leadership development than a mountain of MBA programs!

Leaders are a vital life channel of any organisation and directly influence how people feel about their work. Delivered in a variety of flexible formats, this is a program that calls all leaders to action.

Facilitators working in this program are all senior managers as well as specialists in leadership development. Learn more about The Working Spirit by going to our workshop page...
