What Changemaker attributes are you striving to achieve?
Developing purposes for employees
Just as each branch of a bonsai tree is shaped with careful intention, developing the purpose of employees involves nurturing their unique strengths and guiding them towards meaningful roles. By providing a clear sense of purpose, employees feel more engaged, motivated, and committed to their work, especially at a time where there is an absence of trust in workplace cultures.
Creating culture of feedback and collaboration
Crafting a workplace culture where feedback and collaboration flourish is similar to the meticulous care required to cultivate a bonsai tree. Our series teaches the art of giving and receiving constructive feedback where open communication and mutual respect drive continuous improvement. Through this approach, we help you build a cohesive team that works together seamlessly to enhance individual performance and strengthen organizational resilience.
Shaping personal growth through feedback
There is the prevalence of self-doubt and lack of motivation in the workforce especially in the face of feedback. At Consulus, we believe that personal growth, much like the shaping of a bonsai, requires patience, precision, and thoughtful guidance. Instead of fearing feedback, we focus on how it can be a powerful tool for personal development and an opportunity that would enable them to thrive in their professional journeys.
Elevating skills that can be practised in workplace
The world is becoming more and more competitive. We cannot afford to be mediocre or to remain stagnant. Hence, elevating workplace skills involves the same careful cultivation as shaping a bonsai tree. Our Bonsai series provides practical training in essential areas such as leadership, communication, problem-solving, and innovation. Through this approach, we prepare Changemakers and Changemakers-to-be to excel in their roles, drive organizational success, and turn everyday challenges into opportunities for growth and improvement.
