IS THIS FOR YOU? Playing a Bigger Game

We help business professionals who want to be more effective to develop their skills as influencers and innovators.

Many Balance³ clients and customers specifically want to make a difference in the sustainability space. They come from different professions - from environmental science to OHS to waste management. What they have in common is great expertise, a drive to succeed and a strong desire to help organisations become more productive.

Typically, our clients and customers possess great expertise in their technical professional space. The expertise they WANT is how to more easily engage the people they work with in sustainability or innovation projects - they want their projects to be widely accepted and well-supported - successful.

Who Are Our Clients?

Do any of the following scenarios fit your situation?

You’re a sustainability officer or manager, working in a role that has little direct authority. You need to connect more effectively with people in operational departments who don’t think sustainability is anything to do with them. You need to influence to get your innovations happening. How do you skill-up quickly?
You're a business owner, a CFO or a CEO. You've noticed that "this sustainability thing" hasn't gone away over the last 20/30/40 years and it's started getting more and more press,more urgently. You want to know where to start, but you don't want to invest in compliance and reporting until you know what's relevant to you.
You’re a new manager - your promotion just came through. Congratulations. You’re an expert in your profession, but you’ve been given the pay rise and the car and left to "get on with it". You're not "one of the guys" anymore - how do you get things done without doing them yourself?
You're an expert in environmental science. You’re great at the detail work and you understand everything about compliance and reporting. Suddenly you need to communicate with executives and senior managers - to talk strategy and opportunity. How can you learn to speak their language and show up as future executive material?
You’re a professional coach or consultant. You're interested in sustainability, but you want to know more than what's in the mass media and where your skills fit. How do you get up to speed on the opportunity side of sustainability (regenerative business) quickly?
You’re not officially working in sustainability, but you want to make a difference. You can see that there are all sorts of possibilities for your organisation and your career and you want to get involved. How do you get started and still do your "day job"?

If you fit one of these profiles,then we can probably help. We take a pragmatic, positive approach to teaching the process of innovation adoption and the communication and influencing skills that lie at the heart of business success. Our own technical background and deep industry experience in logistics and manufacturing mean that we know how to skill you up - quickly!

(By the same token, we're pretty skeptical about how "they" are at the root of all your challenges.)

Influencing and Innovation

The core of what we do is teach you to communicate effectively - to use language (especially listening!) as another technology that can substantially improve your performance and your results. We all learned to use language without thinking - but without studying it, we're all amateurs. If you want to succeed in any organisation it's going to be by getting things done with and through groups of people.

If everything you request to get done gets done how you want it, when you want it, without you babysitting every step, then you DON'T need what we have to teach. If not, then maybe we can help you improve your game. Is it time to 'go professional' in your communication capability?
