Ally @ Work

Ally McCulloch aims to be an agent of change for organisations wanting to delight their employees and customers by building strong relationships. Good communication is the key to any successful relationship and business relationships are no exception.

Ally helps people communicate more effectively using the setting most likely to bring success within budget. Sometimes this is done in groups although other occasions require a more confidential and personal environment.

    Most often it's a combination of training workshops and 1-to-1 coaching. Recently, the most effective solutions have introduced web-based solutions incorporating forums, chat rooms and web-based workshop preperation.

    No matter what environment is used - whether it's real time in a training room or in a virtual learning environment - the methods, principles and focus are the same. In this section, you'll find information relating to the driving forces that ensure that each learning experience helps people communicate more effectively.

     

     

    • Reflections & Thoughts

      Often we miss a trick by 'compartmentalising' things too much - often an experience in one are of life can be applied to another with fantastic results. This section tries to find a fresh approach in all things, looking at life through a new lens and searching for connectedness in the apparently unconnected.

       

       

      This could be:

      • applying lessons learned working in the financial services sector to a situation encountered with a client in the public sector.
      • appying a technique traditionally associated with coaching to another area, like problem solving or creativity.
      • allowing a news report or observation to fly through your imagination, mixing with theother things on your mind and forming a whole new thought

       

      Some things will stand the test of time grow whilst others will quietly die away...

       

       

       

       

    • Outlines and Examples

      Three strands have emerged to Ally's work since he established his consultancy in 1999.

      • Short (one and two day) training workshops
      • Associate work with leading training providers
      • Longer consultancy projects

      At any one time, he is likely to be focussing on two of these three areas.

       

      Recently, Ally has been pouring more enery into investigating ways to apply 'Accelerated Learning' theory to the online arena. This section contains various outlines and examples of his work.

       

       

    • Workshop Reports

      In training workshops, the learners are given responsibility for their own learning and are encouraged to use all parts of their brain and all their senses. This results in some wonderful creativity - sometimes Ally is able to capture this.

       

      This section illustrates some of the great work created during Ally's workshops and records comments by trainers, managers and operational staff who have been impacted by his training and coaching.
