It paves the way for collaboration and creates a positive work environment. It is a key ingredient of self awareness and emotional intelligence. Structured Thinking: Our business is complex with many layers (many services, many countries, many cultures).

It ensures solutions are pragmatic and balance the needs of the organisation, team and customers. Data driven: We are a data rich business with ~15,000 small customers. Each decision we make can impact many more people than we realise - so it’s critical that we use sound data to support our strategies and review the success of our initiatives. Can have tough conversations in a positive way: It’s not a matter of if, but when difficult interpersonal situations arise. Disagreement, conflict and disappointment are a given in a fast moving business where people care about their work. People that proactively have tough conversations with kindness build empathy, trust and great working relationships.
