Sonia Mayor understands that the way that people in your organisation talk and listen to each other is directly related to the way they successfully achieve outcomes for their clients.
A key aspect in her work is to create a space for practitioners to slow down and inquire into their working practice. Only in a space where it is safe to question our thinking and opinions is it possible to learn at sufficient depth.
Increasingly, we are in a culture of doing ‘more for less’ with an expectation to deliver high quality services in times of economic uncertainty.
