About Don Harris

Tear down the communication blocks in your organisation and leave behind a system of very positive communication practices that help grow the organisational change culture. I get to the bottom of issues at the heart of the communications disconnect that can sometimes be evident between management and their co-workers, or simply between employees. Zoom or other online platforms allow one - one interviews and coaching to help overcome some of these issues. Over reliance on email for communication is the focus for discussions NOT taking place in offices or online everywhere. Through FEEDBACK and DIALOGUE DEVELOPMENT we all have the capacity to change the topic of a conversation and improve productivity in the workplace. At the heart of the process is LISTENING in a focused way to what is being said, or not said, but communicated through body language. Not something you'll notice through an email. An online remote interview helps here too. ACTIVE LISTENING is the business of EMPATHIC COMMUNICATION. My ‘Listening is the Business’ Workshops focus on this essential skill. This session is also available to be delivered online. Empathic listening is a way of listening and responding to another person that improves understanding and trust, vital in any organisation if ENGAGEMENT is considered a priority. My work allows me the opportunity and privilege to meet some outstanding people who feel that nobody at work is listening to them, or interested in their views. Sadly, in some cases that's true - company morale often reaches rock bottom as a result. Main focus is on improving productivity through:> Empathetic Communication Practices > Feedback > People Engagement An understanding of the importance of music in changing moods > Dialogue Development In every instance so far we have been able to demonstrate to clients that people within their organisation have a lot to say and CRUCIAL feedback to offer. HERE'S THE BIG QUESTION - is your CEO interested in hearing their views? The truth can be hard to handle, and difficult to reach. That is why third party intervention works well. Preserving anonymity is paramount in the process.
