Sprout

We coach and facilitate effective 1 day seminars, Lunch and Learn Breathing Space sessions and Retreat Programmes that break the fog, reignite interest and encourage personal growth. Sprout provides refreshment for leaders, the kind of refreshment you need when your career has plateaued, there’s more ebb than flow or you are sailing too close to burnout.  We do this by delivering high value, personalised Timeouts to improve performance and well-being that is sustainable.

Sprout was born out of our combined frustration and hope about how people, individuals, YOU AND ME are often treated in the work place.

There are lots of “best practice” responses to natural situations and crises, adhering closely to legal expectations and requirements. There are plenty of training courses that go through the essentials, ticking off requirements, ensuring information is passed on and recording in exquisite detail that it has been.

It isn’t attention to detail that is missing though, is it?  It is personal attention.

It is individuals that make the organisation:

• Individuals who make relationships

• Individuals who meet customers

• Individuals who lead other individuals

• Individuals who make teams (and break them)

• Individuals who lead

• Individuals who choose to follow.

There are some organisations where they are proud that they “sheep dip” their new intake with courses and qualifications. The use of the term “sheep dip” says it all to us. A thriving organisation is one that responds to new situations and where innovation, creativity and consistency are daily expectations.

Our Mission :

We believe that Individuals Matter. Each person can make a significant contribution and deserves the opportunity to do so.

We believe that great companies, organisations and communities are made up of individuals who choose to realise their true potential. This unleashes their personal capacity to enhance the lives of those around them, generating ripples of success and confidence.

Being the best you can be requires at times a different approach. It means taking responsibility for your whole life in a fresh and creative way.

We provide the opportunities for individuals to do this in a way that will support and enhance their natural strengths and potential.

We want to help to create a world in which each person can give of their best in a healthy, rewarding and sustainable way.

You can expect personal attention at Sprout. You can expect that we will get to know you. We will work with you.  We work with small groups with the space for plenty of  individual attention and the benefit of learning alongside a peer group.  We provide space to stop, think, breathe and move on.

As your career and organisation develops it isn’t another qualification you have to invest in. What becomes essential is that you make a serious investment in yourself as you are now.

We all know that experience counts. At Sprout we never forget that each experience is replete with possibilities for understanding your own motivations and those of the people around you. Learning from experience is richer than just counting the lessons learned. Noticing patterns of behaviour that have helped or hindered, rarely comes from a one-off “lessons learned” exercise. Reflection takes time and some probing. It is not always comfortable but the reward can be significant.

We design TIMEOUTS that will give space and shape to new perspectives. That will:

• engender an attitude of accountability and ultimately new possibilities.

• refresh and re-engage and reinvigorate

• build resilience by attending to strengths

• always consider Performance alongside Wellbeing

The afterglow of such an event is an awakened mind. We only design with quality in mind. Whether it be a Day’s Seminar, a Lunch and Learn Breathing Space, or a year long Personal Growth Retreat Programme, the purpose is always to re-invigorate and refresh not just those that attend but others around them too. We provide opportunities to practice what is learned and build new capabilities along the way and afterwards..

At Sprout we never underestimate the value of refreshment. To stay in good condition an athlete has rest days. To be capable of peak performance takes effort and rest.  Being valued is critical to our sense of well being. The current buzzword and HR nirvana centres on engagement. Knowing that the people you work with care about you has a significant impact on engagement. Being given opportunities to reflect works on several levels and so everyone benefits.

A high quality high value event coupled with plenty of attention and personalised follow up is what Sprout does best.

Unlocking potential creates possibilities doesn’t it?
