The difference between a good process and a good outcome is context
People often contact me with a tool or approach in mind. But I find everyone really wants an outcome. Like a team that performs better. A recruitment process that hits more than it misses. Or an approach to leadership that works: for the business, the team, and the person's own wiring. So I'll always ask you to send me a little context about your situation up front.
I read every enquiry personally. If I think I can help, I’ll be in touch to arrange an initial complimentary call.

Most of what I do fits under these categories.
Making Sound Recruitment Decisions
Psychometric testing · Executive assessment · Onboarding
Senior leaders have a huge impact on culture, so you want to get it right. But how do you know what you're actually getting, when most of them interview well?
I help you see the things an interview won't reveal, so you're forewarned about what you'll gain, what you'll have to live with, and what you can do to set the person up to succeed. This is only possible because:
I assess the candidate against the role, not in abstract
I test the data with each candidate, in a thorough two hour conversation
I blend the data and candidate narrative with twenty years of doing this work, and
I bring the insights to life, in an hour conversation with you
The investment is usually $4,000 plus GST for senior appointments.

Developing a Senior Leader
Personality assessment · 360 feedback · Executive coaching · Leadership training
You've read the books. Attended a few courses. But if advice was enough, wouldn't we all be drinking enough water?
I help you see the strengths that are serving you, and the patterns that aren't, by starting with a rigorous leadership assessment. Because if we add knowledge before insight, these under pressure patterns and unconscious beliefs will keep undermining your efforts. This involves:
Three evidence-based questionnaires, and a 360 if you'd like
Two hours with me to make sense of it all, drawing on twenty years of doing this work
The investment starts at $3,000 plus GST for the leadership assessment, and leads to either one-on-one coaching or a five-day leadership intensive.

Building a High-Performing Team
Strategy days · Team days · Team operating philosophy
Your team have potential. You know they do. But how do you get them really working together towards shared goals when most offsites seem like frivolous fun?
I help teams perform by shaping their understanding of what high-performing teams actually do, before helping them agree similar expectations of themselves. This involves:
A co-design approach, so expectations are agreed rather than imposed
Experiential activities, as show is more powerful than tell
Practical tools to overcome the things that hold teams back
Documenting commitments to support follow through
The investment starts at $10,000 plus GST for a team day.

Something Else
Conflict resolution · Bespoke workshops
Not every situation fits into a neat box. You might have a vague sense of something exciting you'd like to achieve. Or an uncomfortable feeling that something is not working as it should.
You don't need to know the approach. We'll define that together, after you've helped me understand what you're trying to achieve. My most important work usually starts this way.
Helping solve a complex business problem, because no-one can agree
Getting two senior leaders to work constructively, because they're currently at war
Improving performance, before it goes to a PIP
Facilitating the town hall, so everyone's on the same page
Building capability, be it leadership, decision-making, or leveraging diversity.

ABOUT ME
Shanel Winning
I’m Shanel Winning, a registered psychologist who helps organisations get results that last. My clients come to me for my people expertise but stay for the rest: logical, evidence-based advice that works with their wiring and the commercial realities of business. I took the long way here: operations, information systems, marketing, a stint in mergers and acquisitions, then registration as a psychologist in 2006. I’m allergic to spin, hype, and theory that sounds good at thirty thousand feet, just like the technical executives and partners I work with. My approach is always side-by-side, never “expert dispensing wisdom”. So while I won’t tell you what you want to hear, you'll always feel respected and valued for who you are, and confident that I'm working in your best interests.
