WHAT MY WORK MEANS TO ME

“I purpose to help individuals embolden both personal and organizational leadership, through a transformational journey of self-discovery and self-development. I offer support by challenging them to think more creatively, working with purpose and vision to surface and activate hidden potential, find meaning, congruence and personalized learning.”

MY APPROACH

Pamela believes that every individual is naturally creative, resourceful and whole. Therefore, her approach largely entails partnering with clients to design solutions that address their specific needs. This approach enables clients to experience interventions as a powerful tool for unlocking challenging/ difficult situations and tap into their hidden inner potential/power while coming up with effective, authentic, innovative solutions. She begins by building rapport and engaging the client in identifying their goal, followed by a process of visualizing and designing the desired solution. Then she partners with the client to deliver and implement the co-designed solution. She supports, challenges and acts as a ‘mirror’ for the client, helping in deriving insights and learning throughout the journey. She also offers the option of selecting a leadership assessment tool as part of the intervention for heightened self-awareness to enhance learning. A follow up process is available to support the client in horning, operationalizing and institutionalizing learning/skills. She has observed clients make major advances at both professional and personal levels, apply learning within their organizations and beyond successfully, and go through transformation as they scale their leadership consciously, by boldly companioning their values/ideas to catalyze change and ultimately make successful paradigm shifts.
