The new Auckland office of Convergence recently hosted a full house of business owners and corporate affairs leaders at a reputation masterclass delivered by Sydney-based reputation guru Oliver Freedman from The RepTrak Company. Oliver passionately shared his insights and experience on the proactive steps organisations need to take in building a reputation that delivers a ‘Social Licence to Grow’. Some of Oliver’s key takeouts:   1️⃣ Reputation is built on perceptions of a company and may not be the reality; 2️⃣ Character and capability are core elements needed for an excellent reputation; 3️⃣ In a cost-of-living crisis, good value products and services are key reputation drivers; 4️⃣ Organisations need to show genuine empathy with stakeholders, esp. in a crisis situation; 5️⃣ Empowered employees are a pathway to enhanced perceptions of innovation and citizenship.   Please reach out to Auckland partners Rick Osborne and Marie Hosking with any reputation-related queries.

As the academic year comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on one of the most rewarding experiences I've had—being the team lead for the project with Earth Building UK and Ireland Ltd at 180 Degrees Consulting Bristol 💫. It was an incredible journey where we successfully met our key deliverables: ✅ Enhancing Corporate Funding: We developed a framework to identify and recommend corporate partners whose values aligned with EBUKI’s mission. ✅Social Media Engagement and Strategy: We conducted an in-depth analysis of EBUKI's social media presence and provided actionable recommendations to increase engagement and reach. ✅Crafting a Compelling Corporate Pitch: We worked on building a powerful narrative that showcased EBUKI’s impact and the mutual benefits of forming partnerships. A major highlight of this project was working with the passionate EBUKI team. Their dedication to creating sustainable impact was truly inspiring, and their collaborative approach made every meeting feel constructive and meaningful. It was a pleasure to work alongside a team that was so invested in making a difference. I also want to take a moment to acknowledge the incredible team: Laura Hull, Riya Gulati, Zhengyang Wu, and Charmaine Sew. Their creative inputs, hard work, and unwavering commitment were key to our success. Each brought a unique perspective and energy that made this project not only successful but also deeply enjoyable. A standout moment for me was the opportunity to collaborate with Baringa, with valuable guidance from Charlie Worsley and Michael Tonhaeuser. Their feedback on client communication, tone, and approach to different types of questions was eye-opening, and those lessons are something I’ll carry forward in my career. This project was not just about meeting deliverables but also about personal growth, collaboration, and learning. It reminded me of the power of partnerships and the meaningful difference they can make when aligned with a greater purpose ✨💫 #Consulting #Leadership #Teamwork #SocialImpact #Collaboration #Growth

Chile. Moscow. Alicante. LinkedIn is an interesting place. The last three views to my profile have been from these countries. If it's you. Thank you for checking out my profile. It's so fascinating to consider the global reach of LinkedIn, How to fully leverage it though, I wonder? Food for thought as I deep dive into some client work today - building out the design of a Regional Manager's Induction Program for a NFP organisation. #learningdesignforNFP #leadershipdevelopment #learninganddevelopment

A few weeks ago, I had a Zoom call with one of the top speaker agents in Greece and the region. She gave me a piece of advice that truly stuck with me (thank you—you know who you are!): "Your profile and skillset are extraordinary—but your brand needs a sharper spearhead, a unique promise that sets you apart." I took her words to heart. I realised my unique value proposition (UVP) lies in my personal journey, expertise and my books. After 15 years in a successful legal career, I left because I felt unfulfilled. My mission now is to help others achieve true fulfillment, contentment, and accomplishment in their work through consulting, trainings, and coaching. This led me to my UVP: "𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬"—drawing inspiration from my books, The MARVEL of Engagement and The MARVEL of Happiness. If building happier workplaces and marvellous leadership is part of your vision, let's connect. Together, we can make your culture truly thrive. #happiness #culture #leadership #employeeengagement #goals #KPIs #engagement #lawfirm #lawfirmcoaching #cultureaudit

I worked with Andrew Guy who was at Opera Australia at the time, and he had this to say about our time together: Covid had us in an unprecedented position and I needed to recover the international percentage of sales from prior to Covid and because it was an unknown situation I wanted some strategic planning support from an industry professional I trusted, to ensure I could achieve and outdo perfection expectations for management. I was feeling the pressure as the company relies so heavily on sales for its ability to survive, and therefore didn’t feel it was smart to try to do it by myself without professional support and coaching. I chose to work with Gen after  considering who the best person would be, because it required specific expertise across international distribution and arts marketing, and that can be a rare skill set in one person or company. As a result of working with Gen, I developed, presented and implemented a post covid international marketing and distribution strategy, which in turn recovered our % of international sales back to the company in 18 months. I implemented a new team workflow with fresh starters to have an effective team dynamic to get the work done. We also covered specific challenges around stakeholder engagement and education on the benefits of tourism marketing and how trade is a vital market to achieve company revenue targets. There is always value in collaborating with like-minded people especially when they are not within your company.  It’s vital for any successful organisation to have a training and development budget for all employees from senior leaders to entry level roles. I had a great rapport with Gen, and I could trust her with sharing my challenges and  work with my weaknesses to improve them. It was always a judgement free zone. #TourismLeadership #CoachingForSuccess #ProfessionalDevelopment #TourismMarketing #InternationalDistribution #ArtsManagement #StrategicPlanning #TeamDynamics #StakeholderEngagement #TourismIndustry #LeadershipCoaching #TrainingAndDevelopment #CollaborativeLearning #CareerGrowth #ManagementSupport #PersonalDevelopment #IndustryExpertise #BusinessStrategy #TeamBuilding #ProfessionalGrowth
