What We Do
1:1 Change Strategy Session
Yvonne uses a combination of coaching, advisory, and mentoring to help you strategize on a specific change initiative, project challenge or professional need. The session is aimed at providing you with the required guidance and tools to help you meet an immediate need, overcome a barrier or move forward in achieving your desired results and outcomes.
The goal behind these sessions are “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”.
We will help you:
- Meet an immediate change management or professional need
- Provide advice, guidance and recommendations
- Strategize your next steps to come up with an executable plan
- Conceptualize your ideas and solution
At the point I was referred to Yvonne, I had an idea, a general approach and a draft business plan but lacked the clarity to move forward with it. I could not pinpoint the exact reason why my business plan could not propel me into actually starting work on my business. I explained this to Yvonne and with the minimal detail that I could provide, I wasn’t very expectant. But I was pleasantly surprised when she summarised our discussion in such a way that showed she had heard the issues I wasn’t able to articulate clearly as well as propose a workable approach which included the right pace, mix of guidance vs advice and nudging. The support was structured, allowed thinking time and enabled me to gain CLARITY which was my main goal. As a result, I was able to achieve some of my planned goals earlier than I had scheduled and have continued with the same passion that was inspired through our sessions. She has also been a source of support following the end of our contract and I know I would not have realised this level of progress on my business without her help.

I found your presentation very insightful – and I feel like you humanised the change process – as a change professional, we often get caught up in methodologies, tools, templates etc and forget the basic 101 people side of things…such as empathy, transparent, open, two way communications and actively listening to people, as the core to our approach.

In one hour, Yvonne drilled down the very complex topic of turning around failing projects into actionable steps we can all use in our work lives. Her talk was especially a good reminder that a position and fancy job title will give you a platform but influence is the real channel to achieving success. Thank you, Yvonne, for inspiring us with all that you have accomplished!
