Make It Count!!
Hello and thaks for looking in. I'm the Owner/Director of Coady Consultants Ltd. The joys of self employment mean long hours-so I felt that if this were to be the case, I might as well enjoy what I do.
And I do, immensely. I get to meet and work alongside people, build up good. solid working relationships and learn something from them every day.
My Company provides Development Coaching, Conflict Resolution, Mediation, Team Building and Development.
We are currently engaged in what promises to be a an interesting and influential programme to develop Dignity at Work Advisers and a Mediation Team in a large (2,700 employee) organisation.
We are also contracted to provide and deliver sensitive investigation processes to inform HR personnel and others, of relevant issues related to disciplinaries
We also work in Schools and Colleges, finding ways with which to engage with young people who may be experiencing some challenges. Much of this work requires us to deliver alongside learning mentors, health professionals and other staff from a range of agencies and services.
Life is never tedious here: great!!
