Employees that “Say What They Think” are worth more to your business than those who just “Do What They Are Told”…
If you have ever worked for somebody who won’t listen to what you have to say, then it is only a matter of time before you say nothing at all….
An act of Arrogance is quickly followed by and act of Defiance
Communication is the key to every relationship, whether it be in business, on a personal level or purely to generate a forum of discussion. But when a person is faced with continual rejection, the intimidation of voicing an opinion is reduced until such time that the person moves on, or simply, does what they are told. End of cycle! – no more employee engagement!
While it is important to have a leader….
Somebody who manages the direction of the team, while maintaining a strict ‘code of conduct’;
A great leader will gain the respect of his workforce through the nature of communication, self belief and deliver results “as a team” (there’s no such things as a blame game).
There is nothing more satisfying then bringing a group of people together, combine their strengths, foster their weaknesses, develop their communication, grow their trust and deliver an outcome that nobody could comprehend before the team started. Complete Employee Engagement.
“I have been lucky to be part of that journey on many occasions, and I was fortunate enough to work alongside many incredible people. WE achieved a lot!”
A team is a group of people working together that trust one another to achieve a common goal
If you can afford the time to listen, it’s worth the opportunity for people to express their opinion. This is how a business learns, the business can be guided in otherwise unheard and potentially stronger direction. A STRONGER UNITED APPROACH!
people achieve the best results when they enjoy what they are doing!
This all commences with proper employee engagement and approaching employees correctly.

Over a period of 12 years, the company Geoff established grew to employ a workforce of over 300 personnel covering an area almost half the size of Europe, receiving international award recognition with an annual revenue of over $30mil. Geoff knows what it takes to overcome adversity.
