The statistics on poor work relationships and disengagement are alarming:

77% of employees in the world are not engaged or clearly disengaged (Gallup survey 2023)

46% cite as a cause for resignation an unfulfilled desire to work within relationships of trust and mutual support (McKinsey)

82% of employees in the USA are considering leaving their job because of their manager (Good Hire)

During my career I have seen how relationships can deteriorate and the damage this causes to you and organizations.

Here are the 7 keys for fostering better relationships that you will learn with me and that will change everything:

>>> Expanding listening skills: creating a space to let others express themselves without judging.

>>> Showing empathy: turning off your filters to be open to their point of view and their feelings.

>>> Being interested in others: inspiring trust by being genuinely interested and caring about others

>>> Leading yourself: being autonomous, making and owning your choices, taking responsibility for your actions and your results.

>>> Being present: giving quality time to build connections.

>>> Communicating clearly: expressing yourself more clearly; what concerns you, your point of view and your bounderies.

>>> Adding your unique touch: your sense of humor, kindness, joy, optimism, calmness, or grit

>>> How do I run the workshops?

My approach is simple and experiential.There are many opportunities to learn from each other. That’s important because what is currently missing for people is usually quite subtle. It requires taking the time to become aware of the minor adjustments that will make a difference in work relationships.

Because I like to keep things simple, I keep theory to the minimum during workshops. This doesn’t mean that I don’t provide theory and models as the need arises during workshops. That’s when it has the most impact.

Working with me

I am convinced that each of us can make our lives, our colleagues’ lives and ultimately work better by fostering positive relationships.

What motivated me to do this work was observing the challenges and complexities of work relationships in different contexts:

> In remote, hybrid and office work.

> Working independently and in teams

> Working with over 100 nationalities around the world

I have seen how relationships can deteriorate and the damage this causes to you and organizations.

My know-how is to create a safe space where participants can learn and practice how they can be active participants to foster relationships that inspire and motivate to take action, collaborate and innovate.

In business, the focus is to try to measure and predict everything. But it's important to accept that things like kindness, love, consideration, confidence, joy, and enthusiasm are hard to measure. Yet, these qualities help us create, invent, and transform.

Fully embracing empathy, authenticity, and communicating clearly allows us to unleash the organic power of relationships. That’s my mission.

With a natural curiosity and a genuine interest in others, I was drawn to a career in training and professional development.

For over 20 years, I've explored many facets of this field through various roles such as Learning Designer, Project Manager, and International Consultant within multinational firms. Since 2021, I've been focused on Jumpsuit Coaching, a venture I started.

During my career, I have had the chance to:

Analyse learning needs in organisations and understand skill needs as well as changes in mindset and behaviour.
Create innovative digital and hybrid learning programs.
Lead learning and development projects and teams.
Roll out learning programs and LMS platforms and tools globally.
Advise HR departments on corporate culture and learning strategies and technologies.
Coach talent and leaders from Fortune 500 companies, SMEs, and university departments.
Facilitate leadership development programs for Fortune 500 organizations.

These experiences have given me valuable insights into talent development within organizations. I've learned that simple, essential ways of being and interacting can help both companies and individuals thrive and grow.

I deeply value openness to others and different cultures. Living in Ireland and Great Britain for half of my career, and working with different cultures —have enriched my perspective, something others often notice and appreciate in my work.
