Our Work
One Point One design and deliver learning and development programmes that accelerate the growth of influential leaders, collaborative teams, outstanding individuals and high-performing businesses. With deep experience across a wide range of sectors, company sizes, and global markets, we create high-impact initiatives tailored to real business needs, driving meaningful and lasting development:
Influential
Leaders
Great Leadership is a balance of empathy, intellect and action, and is ultimately centered on people, so the design of any Leadership Development programme should consider these three aspects:
1. Self-Awareness (the Heart): Self-awareness is the key foundation stone in developing leaders. So a fundamental question any leader must ask is "what's it like being on the receiving end of me?" To support this self-reflection and unlock personal insights, One Point One use a combination of 360 feedback and tools such as MBTI, FIRO(B), SDI, Change Style Indicator, and Behaviour Analysis.
2. Understanding Leadership (the Head): It’s critical that today’s leaders understand how & why leadership is changing. They must learn to be adaptable leaders and strive to develop their ability. One Point One support the continual learning process of leaders, combining the cutting edge of leadership thinking with decades of professional and academic experience.
3. Leadership Practices (the Hand): Whilst we judge ourselves by our intentions, others judge us by our actions. So it’s what we put into practice that defines our capability as leaders. One Point One works with leaders to develop critical leadership skills, such as Influencing, Motivating, Communicating, Presenting, Coaching, and Facilitating.
“Leaders create an environment where people can perform, grow and enjoy.” Pierre Casse
Collaborative
Teams
Our increasingly inter-connected workplaces demand exceptional levels of collaboration & cohesion amongst colleagues and departments. As this environment becomes more complex and the pace of change and the learning needed to keep up accelerates, more than ever we need everyone to contribute all their talents.
Great teamworking is no longer an optional differentiator; it’s the differentiator. One Point One works with real teams to develop a practical framework for high performance. Using a variety of insights, activities, reflective space and practical planning, we have an outstanding track record of supporting rapid improvements in team dynamics and performance levels.
Research suggests that truly high performing teams are rare, and so it’s our goal to support every team we work with to transition rapidly through the stages of becoming effective to becoming outstanding. The powerful by-product of this is the sense of camaraderie and pride that flows from this journey.
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others.” African proverb
Outstanding
Individuals
Certainly it is true that much can go astray in the process of group working, and as Bill Gates commented: “… any tool that enhances communication has profound effects in terms of how people can learn from each other.”
In our increasingly demanding work environments we work closely with clients to understand the issues that need to be considered and the targeted outcomes. It’s important to ensure that we make the most of our group interactions. For a start they’re a major time investment, and very often far more is at stake, for example surfacing important ideas; gaining people’s buy-in; or encouraging positive & productive relationships.
Creative, enthusiastic, and focused facilitation helps build credibility & confidence quickly with group members, and delivers the best participant experience. As a result participants become clear about the way forward and committed to their part in achieving that.
“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” George Bernard Shaw
High-
Performing
Businesses
The goal of a coach is not to put greatness into people, but to draw it out of them. So coaching is about bringing the best out in people, realising their potential and raising their performance. It is both a skill and a mindset, and is only fully effective when a coach provides both. Credibility is vital in the relationship. The most effective coaches have the training and experience to enable them to adapt their coaching skills to respond to each situation.
One Point One offers the best in coaching, backed by a strong business awareness gained through decades of first-hand experience, and a passionate commitment to helping people achieve their potential. Through exceptionally close & supportive relationships our coaching activity helps people self-assess, gain insights from others and ourselves, and plan effective strategies to optimise their performance.
"You get the best results from others, not by lighting the fire underneath them but by building the fire within them.” Bob Nelson
The importance of ‘self-awareness’ has long been acknowledged. Indeed, the words “Know Thyself” were inscribed at the Delphic Oracle.
We work with a multitude of tools to facilitate this first step in self-development, selecting the best fit with individual & organisational needs. The purpose of these tools is to help people understand ‘who they are’, ‘how they interact’ and ‘how they perform’ by providing insights and guiding development.
Our consultants are qualified and experienced in all of the instruments we use, always in strict accordance with the relevant guidelines.
Whilst we are certified practitioners in practically all self-reflection tools, our proprietary suite is outlined below; with each tool having been developed by a team of consultants with extensive experience in Leadership as well as Personal, Team and Business Development.
Self-Reflection Tools
Personal Styles Indicator (PSi)
PSI’s framework reflects a key element of who we are, and is based upon the extent to which we are oriented towards achieving our own objectives, and the extent to which we are oriented towards supporting others to achieve theirs. These two orientations apply across our work and personal lives, influencing the approach we take in our interactions and pursuits.
The PSI’s Profile scores give you an insight into how you balance these two orientations, and reveal which of the four Profiles most closely reflect your personal way of operating:
Emotional Intelligence (EQ )
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the ability to recognize and regulate our emotions and those of others.
Research indicates that it is our EQ, not our IQ, that more frequently influences success in life. Whilst there will be occasions when IQ plays a bigger part, it is our ability to connect with others, to ‘read and react’ to them, to build high-trust relationships and to collaborate towards mutually positive outcomes, that differentiates those who do ‘OK’ from those who flourish.
Reflecting on the five facets of EQ is the most effective way to target our personal development:
5R Leadership (5R)
There are many aspects to a great leader’s role. However, today the focus is on encouraging ‘co-creation’, an inclusive and collaborative approach to achieving success. Leadership is a team sport, needed from colleagues at all levels of organisations. To succeed, each individual needs to step up and play their part, and the best leaders enthuse and enable their colleagues to do just that.
The complex and diverse nature of the business world makes it impossible to establish a fixed recipe for leadership success. However, after many years of specialising in this subject we believe the 5R facets are the most critical to demonstrating exceptional leadership:
Leadership Insights
(Leading with Impact)
Leaders who engage with colleagues and build healthy relationships bring out the best in us, ensuring we apply all our talents, reach our full potential, and achieve the success we deserve.
Leading with Impact draws on extensive leadership studies and a wealth of hands-on experience to offer insights and practical guidance to help readers become leaders.
Written in an easy-to-read style, we hope you’ll find it both useful and engaging.
