He is passionate about assisting individuals to navigate complex, chaotic or difficult challenges in work-life. Clive’s clients gain a profound understanding of their personal and professional contexts, yielding opportunities. Success in work- life boils down to unwavering clarity of purpose and self-confidence, the bedrock of thriving individuals and prosperous businesses – precisely what his clients achieve.
Capitalizing on his research and practice in leadership, strategy, risk & crisis management as a project manager and CEO and having supported hundreds across diverse businesses, Clive has learnt that few challenges resist resolution, especially when people are coached or mentored to grow through such obstacles. In 30 years of working with global business leaders, Clive has found three recurring problems:
1. Challenges (good and bad) leading to ambiguity that disrupts communication, objectives, strategy, and decision-making.
2. Doubting one’s ability to tackle complex or chaotic challenges breeds self-doubt turning leadership into a daunting task.
3. The combined impact of ambiguity and self-doubt obscures vision, amplifies self-questioning, and exacerbates performance deterioration.
The answers are improved:
1. Clarity from enhanced communication, streamlined decision-making, productivity growth, superior teamwork, amplified employee engagement and satisfaction, innovation spurts, and improved business performance.
2. Confidence from enriched decision-making, motivational surge, performance enhancement, leadership improvement, facilitated innovation, resilience growth, reputation enhancement, and business expansion.
3. Performance from improved strategic direction, communication, productivity, innovation, leadership, problem-solving capacity, and employee morale & engagement.
Clive believes in rational thought and evidence-based decision-making, leveraging my knowledge and creativity to empower and inspire. He strives to assist individuals and organizations in navigating intricate challenges through effective leadership and coaching, all driven by a quest for collective well-being.
