How can I help you?
Workshop planning and delivery
From one hour to full days, I plan and deliver professional development programs customised to your needs. Uniquely, I include a followership perspective to recognise and engage with all of your team and their contributions.
Workshop titles include:
More than follow the leader
Effective change management for leaders and followers
Leading and following in the board room
During the workshop I learned:
the importance of being and supporting followers
strength and power of followership
leading and following is all about the relationship
we can all be effective leaders and followers
As a result of the workshop I will:
be a great follower
become more conscious of my engagement as a leader and follower
reflect on how I lead (and follow) but also how other staff follow me …what characteristics their followership has to assist me to be a good leader
workshop participants’ feedback
Speaking
Curious about how followership shifts the focus as we look to new, more effective, ways of leading? I share what I’ve found bringing together academic expertise and professional practice with topics including:
Followership: doing leadership differently
Modelling effective leadership and followership
Coaching and mentoring
Working with your team members in 1 on 1 or group coaching sessions exploring how to work better by taking followership seriously.
Organisational planning and review
Sometimes you need a fresh perspective. I bring an ability to see the big picture as well as the detail and, importantly, connections between ideas and people.
“Strong intuition, attention to process and a solid understanding of organisational development principles
Listens well and engages in thoughtful, constructive debates”
“I recommend others seek out Ruth’s expertise in this area to appreciate how well followership will weave into their leadership, culture and organisational development strategies. ”
“I highly recommend Ruth’s work as a significant missing piece of the leadership puzzle, and equally as much recommend Ruth herself as a generous, warm provider of knowledge and insight.”
