No matter where you are on that journey, or even if you haven't started yet, we'll work with you from where you are and create a strategy and action plans to move you forward.

Compassionate Change Management
Change is a constant in today's workplace, whether small-scale or major, and we often forget that employees are usually going through multiple changes simultaneously. Poorly managed changed is one of the largest causes of stress in the workplace, yet we don't invest in preventative measures to do it better.
At hygge associates, we believe that change can and should be done better and with compassion - to be truly effect and have long lasting results.

Mentoring
Mentoring and coaching are terms that are frequently used interchangeably, but do you know the difference?
Whilst a mentor might use coaching in their approach, a coach should never seek to mentor. What they do have in common is that they both involve a series of conversations, and require trust and a strong rapport to be effective.
The key difference in mentoring and coaching is that a mentor will give advice and will be directive whereas a coach won’t give any advice and will be very non-directive. Usually the purpose of mentoring is to help individuals develop in a particular career path, and the relationship is usually more long term. Furthermore, there will be an expert in the relationship who is the more senior and experienced individual (the mentor) and the less experienced individual and one who has sought out the mentoring is the mentee. The purpose is still to enable an individual to achieve their goals, but this may be less task-orientated and more focused on an individual’s development and career progression.
Paul is an experienced business leader and mentor and whilst he is available to mentor anyone he specialises in developing women, particularly those returning to work or moving into a new career. Paul is also an experienced mentor of other leaders, so if you are a business owner or team/department lead looking to create a high performing team then why not contact us for a chat to see how we can work together.
For individuals
If you can't access coaching through your workplace, then we do work with individual clients who are looking at investing in their own personal or professional growth. This might be developing confidence, taking on the challenge of a promotion and/or new team, or a complete career change, and balancing this against ever busy lives and a need to maintain our wellbeing.

"I had coaching sessions with Julie at a time when I’d reached a real crossroads in my career, and the experience has been invaluable. Julie brings a calm, supportive and completely non‑judgemental presence to every conversation. She asks insightful questions that genuinely make you stop, think, and explore possibilities you might not have considered on your own."
