Training Programmes - Mindflex Leadership

COLLABORATIVE, PROACTIVE, ADAPTIVE

Mindflex Leadership develops programmes that help organisations and their managers become more effective and agile leaders. Supporting and challenging managers on how to carry out their business as normal and then improve performance, execute strategy and plan for the future.

Our Three-Part Learning Process

Mindflex encourages managers to focus on the three critical points of leadership impact

Aligning planning and action with the vision and purpose

Teams deliver business plans and the effectiveness of teams depends predominantly on whether they share a clear sense of purpose. Mindflex teaches managers how to achieve a shared sense of purpose, the golden thread that aligns the strategy to actions.

Developing adaptive, client-focused teams

The ability of leaders to adapt to and focus on desired outcomes is critical in fast growing successful business. Leaders must be able to form, manage and motivate teams with the goal of achieving their shared outcomes. Enabling managers to develop agile, client focused teams.

Changing how people feel, think and act

The culture of an organisation will determine the success or failure of any given strategy. Culture is a sum of people’s behaviour, which is driven by their values, motivations and interactions. Mindflex enables leaders to understand these drivers, shift behaviour, improve performance and change culture.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY…

“

I have worked with Brian for over 10 years and in that time Brian has been a high-value-add coach. He has always delivered impressive results in helping transform the business with which he is engaged. He is careful to understand the challenges facing the business, rather than addressing the symptoms of an underlying problem. His approach is to transform the organisation from within by a creating the correct culture and behaviours in employees across all levels of seniority. I have found his approach to be highly effective in delivering measurable and lasting business benefits.
Derek BrownDirector at Detica plc

“

I had the opportunity to have Brian as a coach at a critical time in my career, I had just been appointed as company's president in a new country with a significantly larger business basis and for the first time in Europe.
He helped me discover a series of insights that allowed me to work on my strengths and areas of opportunity, and also outline a clear action plan to tackle the challenges.
This was possible due to a relationship built on trust that fostered a transparent exchange between both parties. I highly recommend Brian for any one that aspires to have a successful career.
Armando HenriquesPresident, BG Brazil

“

I have been working with Brian at a personal level for over three years. During that time he has been invaluable in helping me to work through many challenges in my organisation. Brian is extremely responsive and supportive, but also challenging when he needs to be. He is a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with him in the future as well.
Ian CrambMD Citigroup

“

I thoroughly enjoyed being under your coaching.
Your style of identifying my coaching needs and persuading me to trust your advice to try techniques beyond my comfort zone were very impactful.
Your techniques on selling using “fill the table”, “label the boxes” and “GRIP” are extremely powerful.
I continue to use them regularly and share with colleagues, friends and family.
Your fundamental beliefs on the “power of relationships” transformed my thinking and have helped me build lasting relationships – personal and business.

Brian possesses a detailed understanding of senior leadership teams and their dynamics. He is not afraid to go in and tactfully but effectively challenge the way they work and support them to make changes and implement these. I was part of a two year programme which I worked on with Brian to implement at one organization. I was impressed by the changes in behaviour and way we operated much more effectively as individual leaders and as a team, so I used him again in my next organization with similar results. Brian has also been my coach for several years and is a continual source of challenging and useful career advice.
Shirley AdrainChief of Staff, Barclays Bank plc

“

He challenged at the top of our organisation and facilitated the creation of value where others had no influence. From this position he helped facilitate the implementation of strategy.
He helped to create an environment where the organisation is ready to embrace change. Brian believes that there must be a shared understanding – a language that brings individuals, teams and organisations together. Leadership challenges can be complex and difficult. The tools must be easy to use to encourage take up, they must be straightforward and not distracting to the core business. Most importantly they must be jargon free and meaningful.
Sandeep ChouhanCIO, Barclays Bank plc

“

Brian is an excellent coach who is personable and engaging but not afraid to challenge and push the boundaries. His approach is very much results orientated which makes working with Brian feel like a true partnership. I am delighted to recommend him.
Warren FootSenior Partner, London office, Blake Morgan LLP

“

Brian has worked with me individually as an executive coach and with my business unit helping us to become more competitive, developing stronger teamwork and leadership effectiveness.
His focus on developing business results through stronger business relationships is a formula that has proven itself in many different contexts for me. I strongly recommend Brian and I will work with him again.
Ed MiltonDirector, Detica plc

We brought Brian in to assist our business division through a time when we were changing the culture and requiring the team to take a significant step up. He took time to understand us as a business, where we were and where we wanted to get to. His approach was practical and very effective, not the usual management speak, and enabled us to take a significant step forward.
