The challenge which we all face right now requires a different approach. The outcome
of this approach must manifest itself in changes to how we think and how we act. How
we think and how we act is based on conditioning, habits, belief systems and sometimes
comfort, and sometimes fear. Understanding this is the first step in making positive
change.

Given the Edge is about challenging the present to improve the future.

The Given the Edge Delivery Mechanisms:

Consulting

The Issues must be understood before solutions can be proposed. We look at things in a different way to most and spot the underlying challenges which are generally missed.

Very often, we think differently to you. Why hire us otherwise?

Group Coaching

Sometimes it is useful for smaller groups to have the same shared experience, and this can be achieved through facilitated sessions of varying length, depth and intensity. Group coaching is the delivery mechanism rather than the content.
 

Executive Coaching

If Group coaching is about a shared experience, then executive coaching is entirely tailored to the individual. It is as personalized as personal and professional development gets.


Keynote Speaking

This is often requested for larger groups when key learning points are required to be delivered in a fun and engaging way.

Here's what is available Off The Shelf:

Performance Boost

Very often the real hurdles which people face are not due to an inability to perform at an optimum level, but to do this consistently. To achieve a level of peak performance on a regular basis without burn-out requires the implementation of strategies which include stress management, state management and psychological toxin avoidance.

Emotional Intelligence Boost

True emotional intelligence begins with knowledge. Here, knowledge is power. Knowledge of self, of others, and of what you can do to improve. The key here is to understand and then to change.
 

Presentation Boost

There are three types of presentation training available - Bespoke, Standard and Scary.

Bespoke Interventions

Does what it says on the tin. Please contact us to discuss your exact requirements.

Here's what YOU say . . .

Mike delivered a "Headlining Star Performance" keynote session at our recent Talent & Development  learning event.  The subject  matter was delivered with an extremely engaging style and Mike's energy and enthusiasm was contagious to all that attended.

Having us all onboard, the message was delivered with clarity and obvious complete authority.  Mike was armed with great examples and was able to confidently yet comfortably demonstrate and put to the test all that was covered.  As if that wasn't enough, post event, Mike has worked hard at keeping the learning gained from the event alive, with regular updates using various social media. "Simply Brilliant"!
Thanks Mike.
