The Challenge

Many organisations face the same challenge:

People want to do good work, but the conditions aren’t aligned. Organsiational direction and goals are unclear. Roles lack clarity. Collaboration skills are missing.  Systems don’t support coordination and synergy. Leaders focus on directing or doing, rather than creating the conditions for success.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone – and there’s a better way.

Flourishing work needs four elements in balance

The Person

Nourished, growing, bringing their capabilities authentically

The Role

Clear, structured, enabling collaboration and fulfilment

The Organisation

Aligned structures, systems, resources and leadership

The Community

Connected, served, benefiting from the mahi (work)

Where these four elements overlap = flourishing work.

Why flourishing matters for your organisation

We partner with you to cultivate these conditions through

Clarifying organisational direction and desired impact.  Defining roles and ways of working that enable people to fulfil their role successfully

Growing competency in all roles.  Enabling people to fulfil their roles, collaborate and contribute to the ongoing flourishing of themselves, others and their organisation.

Strengthening how people work together, harness their individual expertise and innovate.  How the organisation functions as an effective, ongoing system to achieve its goals

We provide more than training – we provide solutions that create lasting, sustainable change.

“Financial literacy is really important for our people—both those who work with numbers, like QSs, and those responsible for financial results. The training has definitely improved awareness, sparked great questions, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

People are getting a lot out of it—it pulls together the many different pieces of finance in a way that makes sense, helping them see how everything connects. An unexpected bonus is the increased appreciation for what our finance team does, and how each person’s role impacts the wider business. We’ve seen improved compliance as a result.

Working with Equip is easy—they’re flexible, open, and great at tailoring the programme to suit our industry and business. I really enjoy working with them.”

Grant Judge, Dominion Constructors Ltd

“”‘“We choose to deal with Lisa and Equip as over the years (and many training sessions) they have consistently delivered excellent value for money.

It is apparent that Lisa has a wide and diverse knowledge and that important ability to be able to connect with people.  Additionally, Lisa has always been very generous and accommodating with her time and resources:  whether it be the initial meeting to discuss my teams’ training needs and distilling those conversations into a customised course, to following up post training and having a touch base session with participants to see how they are progressing.

In recent times Equip have been a great help with improving our training we deliver to customers. We are a software company and while we are very knowledgeable on our product, we are not professional trainers. The Train the Trainer course provided us with very valuable information, tools and tips for delivering training. And even better, we received very positive feedback from our customers after incorporating this learning into our courses.”

Jan Preston, Sysmex New Zealand Ltd

“Equip consistently design and deliver excellent training – our members love them! They learn practical business skills that work, from facilitators who understand them, their industry and their business.

Working with Equip is great – they’re flexible, professional, and nothing is ever too much trouble.  They fit in with what we need and provide real value.  It’s more than a service – it’s a partnership.”

Kim Preston, MTA (Motor Trade Association)

We had identified that our managers needed training as we were having issues with delegation of work, team engagement and core leadership skills such as emotional intelligence. I reached out to Lisa as I had previously attended a course that was facilitated by her and had really enjoyed her training style and hands on approach. Lisa was very accommodating and came up with a tailored solution for our business.

The workshop style course was a great mix of theory and practical activities which really helped our team to understand and apply the concepts that were taught.

We received very positive feedback from the team and we can see the difference in our managers post training. They have actively been applying the skills and have been pleased to add a few techniques to their ‘toolbelt’ especially around self leadership.

I would definitely recommend Lisa to anyone who wants a hands-on approach to training!
