  • 128 - Power Style (LSI)
    Continuing to explore the Aggressive/Defensive cluster, this week Dominic Gourley and Head of Consulting Corinne Canter discuss the Power Style.
    This style reflects needs for prestige and influence, and the tendency to equate self-worth with controlling others. People high in this style tend to dictate (rather than guide) others' actions, try to run everything themselves and treat others in aggressive and forceful ways. So how can people high in Power be more effective? How might this style show up and how can we work with it.

    In this episode of Culture Bites, Dominic Gourley and Head of Consulting, Corinne Canter discuss the Oppositional style in detail – What is the style about, what is it measuring and how might Oppositional behaviours show up.

  • 125 - RISE Moving to Blue
    How we think about ourselves, the world, people and the events around us, has a profound impact on our ability to be effective in the choices we make around our health and our well-being.
    RISE is an acronym for a 4 step technique and practice created by Head of Consulting Corinne Canter, that provides you with an effective and structured approach to helping clients move from defensive to constructive thinking and behaving. It blends the best of neuroscience, psychology and mindfulness to empower people with the ability to shift their thinking into a more supportive, ‘inner coaching’ space.
