4 WAYS YOU CAN BE THINKING
BETTER
COACHING AND CONSULTANCY
After initial contact with us we like to get to know your ‘current state’, be that your teams, project, business or personal goals.
Our approach, whatever we do, follows the same effective process : we ‘understand’ what is happening today, we work with you to help ‘simplify’ the issues and challenges, and then we work with you to help you develop new strategies and habits that will ‘inspire’ you and your teams into action and deliver great results.
That process is normally looked after by one of our team of ‘coaches’ or ‘consultants’. All of our team are very experienced in their respective fields but all share a common passion for making our ‘thinking’ the very foundation of anything we help you do – that way whatever your ‘it’ is we help you unlock your potential, capitalise on your strengths, and help you realise you potential …and enjoy the journey getting there.
What you won’t find with our approach is a mechanism of making you ‘reliant’ on us – in fact our philosophy is the exact opposite – we want you to become your strength, and over time you become your own ‘coach’. Sure we will always be there if you need us – and we love to hear how great things are going – but the ‘inspire’ part of our process is key here. You won’t need us to ‘motivate’ you … success for us is that we have helped you discover your own inner ‘inspiration’.
After our initial contact and early meetings and visits, we will prepare for you an honest assessment of where we think you are, what things you can do, what we recommend you could get outside help to do, and where that help is something we consider ourselves to be the very best at – we will make some recommendations as to how we can help. Then it’s up to you – you have a good understanding of where you are, we will have focused on and simplified the future path, and we will make recommendations, based on our own industrial experience to help you become ‘inspired’.
We’d love to help you along the way.

New Mindset. An Historical Analogy from the English Archers
The story of the Longbow I’d like to thank my good friend Mike Rix for the following brilliant historical analogy. In these days where organizations and governments are determined to return to a pre covid-19 world, maybe, just maybe we need a new mindset. When old mindsetsets need to change This story shows the best of Thinking it Better from the English Army during the 100 Years war especially since the risks associated with failure were so high. On the flip side the French brilliantly demonstrated the antithesis of this mindset and suffered the [...]
Hindsight
Just a thought, isn’t hindsight a wonderful thing? The day I tapped a partition wall with a hammer to find out if the plaster was sound. It wasn’t. One minute beautiful bedroom, next two tons of dust.Pouring petrol on a smouldering bonfire. The result, a small explosion and no eyebrows.Nudging a small immaculately dressed son as he stood by the garden pond two minutes before we were due to go out to a smart family occasion. Need I say more.Lost in a Swedish forest and asking the blind man I met for directions.Believing a CRM [...]
