Are your people finding it difficult to speak up in meetings?
Do they hold back from sharing their opinions?
How good are they asking for what they need?
Are they confident to take the next step on their career journey?

We know how it feels to doubt whether we are capable of something.  To feel daunted by a challenge at work or in our personal lives – it can feel like we have a mountain to climb.  Adventures can draw us in like a magnet; all we need is that courage to take the first step.  Everyone’s definition of an adventure is as unique as each person…you’re stronger than you think you are.  Whatever your challenge, you are more capable than you know. 

We know, we’ve been there, and we are here to support you through your own adventure.

Welcome to Viv Bowra Consulting

Effective leadership cultivates vision, inspires action, fosters collaboration, promotes active listening, empowers others, encourages change, embraces accountability and sets the standard for others to follow.

You’re in safe hands

Our role is to get the very best thinking from your leaders and your teams, and for them to step outside their comfort zones and actively relish learning, developing and implementing new skills.

Whether you’re looking for a small group programme, individual coaching or a bespoke workshop full of practical tools, we help people at all leadership levels – whether you have a team reporting to you, or not – discover their lightbulb moment, and act on it with confidence.

Having the freedom to make choices is our passion

The freedom to learn. Freedom to explore. Freedom to choose. Freedom, coupled with the deep belief that we really can achieve much more than we think we’re capable of.

In April 2015, Viv Bowra was part of an all-female team who successfully undertook a 100km ski trek in -45ºC across Baffin Island to the Arctic circle as part of an initiative to challenge how people think about diversity and inclusion.

The expedition highlighted to Viv the power of mindset and how effective neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) tools are in harnessing the power of language to break down the mental barriers we unknowingly create for ourselves.

Workshops

Inspiring workshops that transform leaders

Leadership workshops are dynamic platforms where aspiring leaders hone essential skills and cultivate a mindset conducive to effective leadership.

Through our engaging, fun and interactive sessions, participants delve into topics such as maximising your impact, assertive influencing skills, developing your leadership style, building your resilience and the importance of inclusivity. Our accredited facilitators employ various techniques such as role-playing, case studies and group discussions to foster learning and self-discovery.

Workshops provide a safe space for experimenting and reflecting using real scenarios, enabling individuals to identify their strengths and areas for growth. Participants gain invaluable insights from experienced mentors and peers, fostering a supportive network for continuous development.

Ultimately, these workshops empower individuals to lead with confidence, adaptability, and a clear sense of purpose.

Training

Achieving excellence in your personal and professional life

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) delves into the intricate connections between how we think (our neurological processes), what we say (our language) and how we are (our behaviour patterns), offering powerful tools for personal and professional transformation.

Through NLP, individuals learn to shift perspectives, overcome limiting beliefs and enhance how they communicate to achieve their desired outcomes.

Participants explore techniques such as anchoring, reframing and modelling, gaining insights into their own subconscious drivers of behaviour and unique communicating style. With practical exercises and experiential learning, our NLP training empowers individuals to break free from negative patterns, build rapport effortlessly and influence positive change in themselves and others.

A huge thank you to Viv for the engaging way in which she delivered the two workshops, face to face in Madrid and remotely today. From the conversations and the engagement of the team it is clear all have learnt some valuable tips and techniques that will help us be more influential in our stakeholder engagements; the early results were evident today!
