Practical support for culture, leaders & teams

I partner with organisations to strengthen culture, navigate change and create the conditions for people and organisations to perform at their best.

​

Engagements can range from a focused workshop or assessment through to broader culture and organisational development work

Organisational Culture

Culture Zone - Icon
Cultivating Cultures

Culture influences how strategy is experienced and executed across an organisation. It shapes decision-making, collaboration, accountability, leadership behaviour and the overall employee experience.

​

I help organisations understand the dynamics shaping their culture and, identifying both the strengths to build on and the friction points limiting effectiveness.

​

My approach combines quantitative insight with qualitative exploration to build a practical, evidence-based understanding of how culture is currently experienced, and what shifts may be required to support future success.

Barrett Values Culture Assessment

A globally recognised values-based assessment used by thousands of organisations across industries including financial services, healthcare, government, technology, education, manufacturing, and not-for-profit sectors. Provides a robust, evidence-based view of organisational culture.

 

Drawing directly from employee feedback, it helps organisations measure cultural strengths, identify areas of friction and understand how leadership, values, and ways of working are impacting performance, engagement, collaboration and change readiness.

 

The assessment equips leaders with credible insight and a clear baseline from which to make informed, targeted culture and organisational effectiveness decisions.​

​​

Best suited for organisations looking to:

  • understand culture through a values lens,

  • identify where their culture is today, what is enabling or constraining performance, and what shifts are needed to support future strategy,

  • strengthen leadership alignment, engagement and organisational cohesion

  • establish a measurable culture baseline.

​

Organisational Culture & Effectiveness Assessment

An organisational  assessment designed to explore how leadership, culture, systems and ways of working influence organisational effectiveness and performance.

 

Built on established organisational effectiveness principles and informed by practical consulting experience, this approach assesses culture across four interconnected dimensions:

​

  • Purpose: Clarity, alignment and connection to organisational direction

  • Practices: The systems, processes and ways of working that enable or hinder effectiveness

  • People:  Collaboration, Inclusion & belonging and skills development

  • Adaptability: Customer focus, responsiveness and continuous improvement

 

Best suited for organisations:

  • navigating growth or change,

  • experiencing execution or alignment challenges,

  • wanting deeper organisational insight beyond engagement surveys,

  • or seeking practical, actionable focus areas for improvement.

Leadership Alignment

Cultivating Leaders

Leadership shapes culture, alignment and organisational performance. I work with leaders and leadership teams to strengthen self-awareness, cohesion and the leadership behaviours that enable healthy, effective organisations.

Barrett Leadership Assessments

A values-based leadership assessment designed to help leaders understand how their behaviours and leadership style are experienced by others.

Using the Barrett methodology, the assessment provides insight into:

  • leadership strengths,

  • limiting behaviours,

  • values alignment,

  • and the impact leaders have on organisational culture.

 
Suitable for:

  • individual leadership development,

  • executive coaching,

  • and leadership teams navigating cultural or organisational change.

Leading Culture Workshops

A facilitated leadership experience designed to help leadership teams better understand the role they play in shaping organisational culture.

The workshop explores:

  • the relationship between leadership behaviour and culture,

  • alignment between desired and lived culture,

  • leadership dynamics and role modelling,

  • and the organisational conditions that influence performance and employee experience.​

 

Designed for leadership teams looking to strengthen alignment, trust and cultural leadership capability.

Emotional Culture Development Workshops

Workshops that help leadership teams intentionally shape the emotional experience of work. Together, we explore how people need to feel to perform at their best, and the leadership behaviours and team practices that help create those conditions.

Team alignment & effectiveness

Cultivating Teams

Healthy, effective teams don’t happen by accident. They are shaped by clear direction, strong ways of working, trust, accountability and shared understanding.

​

I work with teams to strengthen alignment, collaboration and team dynamics, helping them work together more effectively and sustainably.

Team Effectiveness Workshops

Facilitated sessions that help teams build clarity around shared purpose, priorities, goals and measures of success.

​

These workshops support teams in aligning around:

  • team purpose and contribution,

  • strategic priorities,

  • goals and KPIs,

  • decision-making and accountability,

  • and practical ways of working.

 

Particularly valuable for:

  • newly formed teams,

  • teams navigating change,

  • or teams needing stronger alignment and focus.

Team Emotional Culture Workshops

How people feel at work influences how they communicate, respond to pressure and perform as a team. 

​

These facilitated workshops help teams explore their current and desired emotional culture, identifying the feelings that support them to do their best work, those that can get in the way and the behaviours that shape the team experience.

​

Together, the team develops practical commitments to strengthen trust, connection and the conditions for healthy, effective performance. 

Debbie is a super star in the organisational design and culture change spaces. I worked with her closely as I refreshed a function and bought together disparate functions to create a new business unit. She was a huge asset in facilitating the co-building of culture in my newly created team. I valued her judgement and insights. Thanks Debbie for helping us to build a great team culture, which is helping us all greatly as we navigate these unprecedented times.
