Open Space & Team Building Program 2008
"The management team was able to understand the key issues of concern affecting our staff. Our people felt that they had been consulted and listened to in the change process. All together this has had a significant impact in getting real buy-in and enthusiasm from our staff regarding our transition as a company. There is a huge difference from simple compliance of staff through to real willingness of people to work together to make things succeed. It is often not so much the plan that causes the problem, but how it is implemented. This is where Shawn was really able to add value.
"An authentic and knowledgeable professional speaker, Shawn was able to facilitate the Open Space session in a professional and friendly way which enabled all staff to engage in the activities. The team building session was delivered with a sense of fun and engaging activities combined with practical examples that delivered tremendous insight to our employees."
"Shawn quickly earned the respect of our management team and our people. His expertise, experience and skills were clearly evident. It is unusual to have IT and Psychology skills and experience in a facilitator. Not only was he able to show credibility in terms of understanding the business of the organisation that he was helping, but he was also able to bring his considerable people skills to the assignment." Sean Farrell COO TAFMO Australia Ltd

Testimonials from individuals
“When I first came to see you, I was very unhappy at work. I did not see, or value, the skills I had, and I did not feel that there were any options for change. You gave me plenty. You taught me to see more objectively what was going on in my workplace, and showed me that I could change how I viewed events and how I reacted to them in order to change the outcomes. I now have a better relationship with my manager, and feel less stressed about the politics in my organisation. You also gave me a perspective on my skills and achievements from someone outside my field, which has helped me to see and to value what I have to offer. You have changed the way I think about many things in life, and your belief in me has given me the courage to step out of my comfort zone. It hasn’t been easy, but it has certainly been worth it. Thank you.” K.S, 2006
