Teaching interests

Accepting the perfect imperfections of ever-day life and understanding the interplay of intentions is an area that fascinates Carole.  She works with individuals and teams to help them understand their strengths and work preferences and how to use these to good effect within a work context. 

Carole delivers courses on ‘how it feels to work around here’,  personality preferences at work, emotional intelligence of teams and individuals as well as more objective courses around organisational performance, balanced scorecards and human resource practices.
