THE TEAM

Team effort goes vain when individual effort is in the wrong direction
- Ram Mohan

THE TEAM

Leader in its most important sense means
being the agent of your own life,
influencing the things you care about
most in the world to make it a richer life.

- Stewart Friedman

THE TEAM

Lead from the back -
and let others believe they are in front.

THE TEAM

(customised workshops)

Heidi October is a certified Persolog trainer and registered COMENSA practitioner with a keen interest in Neuroleadership and diversity issues.

Mind Practice Consult believes one of the strengths of our country lies in the fact that we are such a diverse nation. Evidently, an inclusive, diverse work environment offers a far more interesting way for businesses and teams to achieve their goals. This, however, requires a sound understanding of the different ways in which people think, how they approach their work and the impact it’ll have on the outcomes of business success.

When exposed to others who have had different experiences to ours, it offers us an opportunity and insight to look at a strategic and personal situation in a new way. We often find that businesses don’t optimize the strength of a diverse workforce, especially if a team consists of people with different capabilities, different thinking styles, cultures and perspectives.

Our approach to people-centred facilitation reinforces the leveraging power of an inclusive, diverse workforce and of individual accountability. Our strategic framework encourages collaborative enquiry- team workshops where differences are celebrated and collaboration is supported. Our team facilitation is guided by various types of assessments, mainly focusing on our brain’s four quadrants to explore the effect of brain dominance on team processes and business outcomes. We offer Persolog behavioural profiling and, if needed, other specific psychometric tests can be arranged in conjunction with our associate practices.

Our team building & strategic planning sessions are fun, creative, explorative and usually very reflective. The Mind Practice team will ensure that your team’s expectations are met and strategic planning sessions are outcomes based, followed by clear action plans. This, we believe, we can achieve in our sessions by sharing the ownership of expectation + participation = outcomes.
