Thanks for stopping by. You’re in good company…

Most people who visit our website are looking to grow. They are committed professionals dedicated to developing their leadership skills and accelerating their careers.

They want to make a difference. They want to have an impact. They want to get results.

If that’s you too, then you’re in the right place.

My name is Anneli and I help leaders have greater professional impact and build stronger relationships at work.

I’m known as the people whisperer because I’m obsessed with helping leaders decode the hidden dynamics that drive human behaviour to better understand why people do what they do. Knowing this will help you develop influence, engagement and impact, and accelerate your results.

This is about Interpersonal intelligence.

What is Interpersonal Intelligence?

From the politics of the boardroom to the conversations in the corridor, your interpersonal intelligence is affecting your outcomes – for better or for worse.

Interpersonal intelligence is the ability to understand and navigate the people dynamics in a given situation.

The good news is that interpersonal intelligence is not just reserved for ‘natural social connectors.’ It’s a skill that can be learnt, improved and mastered.

The world is getting smaller, the tasks bigger and the time to get them done, shorter. We need to build relationships and trust in record time. We need influence, engagement and impact.

What you say, what you do and even what you’re thinking affects those around you. I’m obsessed with this journey and I welcome the opportunity to share my obsession with you. Get in touch if you want to work with me or take a look around our site to learn more about how we can help you when you’re ready.

Executive coaching with a communication expert can help you reach your leadership goals.

Team Workshops

Need to fast track high performance for new teams?

Leading Change

Do your leaders need to become change leaders? Helping others understand, navigate and thrive through change?

This program is about normalising the experience of change by understanding the science behind our responses to it, building the resilience and mindset to move through it, and creating sustainable momentum with small, manageable commitments to action. Leading change is only effective when leaders understand the human response to change… and what to do about it.

Growing Leaders – Masterclass for developing leadership on the job

How well do your leaders develop other leaders?

In this program, your team will learn to identify and respond to what’s really driving the dysfunctional behaviours that derail performance. Effective leadership development needs to occur in real time, on the job, and not just in the annual performance conversation. Your leaders will learn to develop the leadership skills of their teams, on the job, where it counts.

*Program based on the book: Developing Direct Reports: Taking the guesswork out of leading leaders

Do your managers need to develop the performance of their team members?

This program is about increasing the impact of a team’s performance through tailored and targeted performance development frameworks and conversations. New leaders, supervisors and managers who need to coach and develop their people will benefit from this program.

“A great facilitator needs to have an acute intuition about the group in front of them and what will resonate with them. Anneli does this time and again, using appropriate models to introduce theory into the content to help people understand their own behaviour and that of others with greater clarity. Anneli comes with my highest recommendation of facilitation skills in any employee or manager group where better leadership, communication and accountability behaviours are the goals.”
