As the world changes in powerful and unpredictable ways, business leaders look
to "the building of long term mutually beneficial trust based relationships"
with clients, collaborators, partners and other stakeholders as a means to occupy a
unique and privileged position in their hearts and minds.

As leaders in our fields of endeavour, we all want to achieve a uniqueness and
distinctiveness in the way we build relationships and trust with others.

This is where "The Business Relationship Specialists" come in. We are a Global
Network of highly experienced

 Executive Coaches
 Behaviour Modelling Trainers
 Change Management and Cultural Transformation Consultants
 Facilitators.

We will work with you to design and implement "tailor made solutions" into your
business relationship building initiatives.

We have many years of global experience working with some of the largest
organizations in the world, including many of the Fortune 100 companies, as well as,
consulting and assurance/tax/advisory firms, small and medium size dynamic
and innovative companies, government entities and individuals.

"We have successfully integrated a newly acquired company into our group using a
fantastic cultural integration model created by our consultants [The Business
Relationship Specialists] specially for us...they are flexible and fun to work with"
CEO, Investment Bank



These are the values and beliefs that sustain our business relationships and all the
work we do:

"people are at the centre of everything we do"
people... people... people... if it doesn't involve people we don't do it

"through conversation, we connect and build relationships"
we love to talk... the best systems, products, services or processes will never
replace the power of two people engaged in conversation; conversation is at the core
of doing business and at the centre of any relationship

"we change others through our personal transformation"
we believe change starts at home... as we shift our behaviour and the way we
interact and connect with others... they also shift the way they engage with others
and with the world around them

"we are creative, innovative and flexible"
we always start with a blank sheet of paper and recognize the uniqueness of every
situation; we listen, we watch, we connect and engage with others... and then we
co-create, we design, and we deliver... moving, shifting and adapting as the
situation requires

"we are tailors"
every person, every business and every situation is different and offers a new
opportunity to innovate and design new approaches and solutions

"we love what we do"
if we didn't love it we wouldn't be doing it; we are fortunate to witness profound and
long lasting shifts and interact with fabulous people and inspiring leaders everyday...
and we love it



"we have fun"
people are more engaged and receptive when they enjoy what they are doing, have
fun and... even enjoy a good laugh

"we strive for simplicity"
someone somewhere decided business had to be complex and complicated; well...
we disagree; people like it simple; if it is simple... it is accessible and... easy to
assimilate and use

"small shifts move mountains"
it is very difficult to climb to the top of a mountain, but if we take it a step at a time,
we will make it; it is the small things we do differently every day that produce the
most powerful and sustainable results

"we cherish diversity"
the more diverse the people we build relationships and work with, the richer we are;
every dimension of diversity brings endless opportunities to create new and
engaging solutions with our clients

"we love the world we live in"
after all, we only have this world; if are not sensitive and respectful of its needs, we
will not be leaving a very good legacy to our children and grandchildren; we do small
things everyday to make it a better world

We are in the business of relationships... so, we invest in building long term
mutually beneficial trust based relationship with our clients. You are around for a
long time... and so are we... and on this journey, we believe our approach can add
sustaining value to your business... whilst building our own.



Our approach always starts with a blank sheet of paper. We recognize the
uniqueness of every situation.

Then... we engage in conversation... we listen, we watch, we connect and engage
with you... conversation is at the core of every relationship... and we value our
relationships with our clients.

Then... we co-create and we design. Every situation offers us an opportunity to
innovate, to refresh, to take a new look, to imagine a new way of satisfying our
client's request. So, we work with you to generate the way forward.

Then... we simplify... we make it as clear and accessible and doable as possible.

Then... we "spice it up"... we make sure people will be properly challenged and
supported throughout the process... we will move you out of your comfort zone to
try new things and to experiment... we will support you by helping you find new and
different ways... we will also introduce you to new and different perspectives... and
we will also provide you with a safety net.

Then... we make sure it will be fun... for the client and for us... not always, because
shifting and change are sometimes painful... but in the measure and to the degree
that ensures that people will look forward to the process and be engaged with it.

Then... we look at ourselves and consider where we need to shift and adapt in order
to be more effective and have a greater impact.

Then... we deliver... moving, shifting and adapting "in the moment" and as the
situation requires.

And finally... we co-evaluate with the client... and we receive and give feedback
about the process and the outcome.



We coach individuals and groups to help them
achieve greater impact and effectiveness and to
adopt high performing and productive behaviours

We design and deliver innovative, tailor made,
dynamic and highly interactive behaviour modelling
training programmes

We help to transform organizations' cultures through
innovative and tailor made change management and
cultural transformation interventions

Through the right balance of strong process and
content skills and seamless integration with the
business' objectives and cultural values, we facilitate
groups to accomplish their goals
