Client Result: “Julia was incredibly engaging and offered a lot of personal insight with her own lived experience examples. It made me feel more comfortable to share of my own experience and thoughts. I really felt like she held a safe space for me, particularly when I struggled with my self-reflection. The course material resonated on a deep level, and I can’t thank Julia enough for delivering such a beautiful learning experience. [Tammy Lim]

The Fearless Organization Scan
A powerful introduction, the Fearless Organization Scan allows teams to review their Psychological Safety. The survey results enable a review of the four dimensions that make up the scan and act as a starting point for improving Psychological safety. This survey can be completed as a standalone activity, supporting your team’s ability to identify areas of improvement, or it can be combined with other services offered by the Chief Encouragement Officer.
Completing the scan fosters discussion areas such as; ‘Inclusion and Diversity, ‘Willingness to Help’, ‘Attitude to Risk and Failure’ and ‘Open Conversations’. Completing the scan will give you an insight into the current team dynamics and completing this workshop will give you the practical skills you need to support your team to thrive.

Program and Project Review
If you have an underperforming project or program, it’s not too late to get things back on track. The Chief Encouragement Officer can review the progress of your project, identify issues and recommend optimal solutions. I can be brought in to review the whole project or advise on key areas such as communication, significant scope change and risk.
With a unique ability to get things done, I take stock of the current situation to identify the blockers to progress and work on eliminating them. Benefiting from an outside perspective, I take a project, enterprise-wide and commercial view to support the aims of the project team and the wider aims of the organisation.
As an independent consultant since 2012 and a Program Director for the previous 14 years, I understand the issues, impact and context in order to give strategic advice, quickly and concisely.

Program and Project Start Up
Give your program or project the best chance of success by engaging the expertise of the Chief Encouragement Officer in your initial planning and scoping phase. With years of leadership and project management experience, I can develop resources, create training and support your staff to succeed.
Employing my unique skill set and background from the outset will help your program or project hit key milestones, stay on track, delivering expected outcomes on time and on budget. Don’t risk your next major program or project – get the Chief Encouragement Officer on board from the start to guide your people towards success.
Clients have often chosen to extend my consultation from the initial engagement to maintain my expertise and continuity in the program of works.
