Our Approach

The world in general and the work we do in particular is being disrupted and this flux is going to continue for the foreseeable future. Work can be challenging, but it can also be deeply fulfilling. The challenges we encounter can make us feel stuck but it also offers us an opportunity to develop our leadership to do what’s needed. How we work individually and collaboratively is a crucial question. Many organisations look for more control through compliance but trust and accountability is usually a better way, although this takes leadership. 

Our work is the arena where we can use our strengths to build our careers providing our livelihood. Its where we interact with others. Its where we can develop ourselves to be better people in other aspects of our life. We are committed to guiding you as you navigate this complexity. 

Haven was founded with the purpose of providing a space for people to explore their work, what they are called to do in their career and how they can use challenges as opportunities, for instance during period of transition and change, or when there is tension or conflict. We want to help anyone who feels stuck in some way and wants to explore creative paths forward. As they say if you are not stuck on something you are not trying hard enough!

The world needs leaders and its not just leaders with titles, we are all called to step up. Having an intention to engage a challenge in your work can be the first step. Transforming the systems we work in and with however subtly is leadership.

We use a method called Wiser Play which can be adapted to your work situation

W – Wisdom: this is lacking in a world saturated with information and its available to us all, it just needs to be curated

I – Inspiration: love what you do whatever that looks like, draw your inspiration from the right places and inspire others 

S – Service: heed the call to leadership and stewardship, so that you can serve life and others

E – Excellence: high performance based upon good role design for flow opportunities and ongoing development 

R – Relationship: how you connect and influence determines your impact 

Play - because we need to take action in less rigid way, try it out and iterate as needed and we will guide you as you do this

How we work with you depends on your needs but we will use a blend of consulting, coaching, mentoring, facilitation, mediation as the situation requires. We can also suggest practices that can help you broaden your perspective and transform your actions.
