Simon Benjamin
Teamwork and Trauma-informed Specialist
Simon has a unique ability of being able to diagnose an issue and recommend a way forward, taking into account multiple interdependencies to solve a problem. He does not concentrate on the ‘black and white’; he works around and inside the ‘grey’, which has been a great benefit to me and Anchor.
Heidi Tucker,
CEO, Anchor Community Care
Simon is a senior consultant who specialises in helping leaders and teams overcome team dysfunction.
Is your team high performing or high maintenance? While no-one likes to admit having dysfunction in their teams, those that have the courage to recognise the cost of not dealing with this common problem, benefit by being more effective in their work, saving both time and money, while improving employee engagement and retaining high-performing staff.
Simon equips leaders and teams in all industries including community service organisations who work in high-stress environments, to identify and address team dysfunction, through common-sense frameworks, that bring tangible results.
