Here’s how we spend our time:

Entreprise-wide

Systemic organisational change

Businesses are organisms driven by ambition, motivation and incentive. You may be undergoing major strategic or cultural change, or facing significant business challenges. We design multiple-level interventions to transform the vision into reality. You will understand how the power dynamics are shifting and what this means to different people. Dealing openly with the realities of change will help everyone embrace it, or articulate where they need help. Working hand in glove with you, we co-design exactly what is needed to embed sustainable implementation.

Martha inspires exceptional trust, which then unlocks possibility. She brings great balance – curiosity, experience, wisdom, empathy, ethics, pragmatism, expertise and challenge – in support of transformational personal and collective growth. Her dexterity in focusing not only on leaders, but also their team, AND each individual within the team, multiplies the value that she brings. The work we’ve done together has been a key differentiator professionally, competitively, and culturally.

“I have also worked with MMG on both individual executive coaching and group coaching on building a high-performing leadership team. The combination was optimal as they were better able to advise on individual developmental targets by having the broader context. In addition, their familiarity with the culture of the firm garnered over multiple interactions is valuable backdrop.”

“It has been a life changing journey working with Martha and Morag as coaches. They both have deep understanding about the business world and the dynamics governing the performance of an organisation. I am really amazed about how much impact they have brought to our team, and myself. It has been a thrilling and rewarding journey so far. It feels like I have been through a major transformation where I grew much more confident, more authentic, and stronger than ever”

“Andy Held up the mirror firmly, bringing my strengths and weaknesses in to focus in an entirely non-judgemental way. She explained her methods and acted with rigour and integrity at every stage of the development process. At times it was a deep-tissue work out, powerful and quite emotional, but immensely helpful. I can certainly recommend Andy”

“Dom helped me on three levels: first, by constant probing, we identified source issues or reflexes that I needed to address and then set up a plan to address them. Second, he provided a sounding board for critical people issues of the moment that sometimes seemed insurmountable. By helping me to break the issue down into component parts, he enabled me to see solutions and outcomes more clearly. Third, we established a plan and follow up actions after each meeting, which created discipline around the “after meeting” by ensuring continuity and continued reflection.”

Individuals

Executive coaching

Outstanding leaders never stop learning and executive coaching is the most focused and effective support available. Maybe you have a new job, a change of strategy, tough targets, or want to become an even better leader. We take a practical, goal-oriented approach and explore what makes you tick. Meeting every 2 – 4 weeks for 6 – 12 months, you will develop the self-awareness to enhance your performance. By learning how you’re wired and how others see you, surprising choices will emerge. Working confidentially with a challenging and skilled coach, you will push yourself to excel.

Teams

High performing team development

Successful teams share ideas, think creatively, and pool experience to achieve desired outcomes. We work intensively with executive teams to develop a collaborative and invigorating culture. Meeting 2 – 3 days every quarter for 12 – 18 months, team members will transform the way they cooperate and interact. Understanding positive and negative patterns helps people to break out of habitual behaviours and think counter-intuitively. Tackling business challenges along the way becomes part of the learning process.

I have had the pleasure of working with MMG in several capacities. They facilitated senior management dialogues on gender diversity that were among the most productive conversations I have been a part of in 20 years. Their formula of 1:1 pre-interviews followed by intensely focused facilitated sessions has proven universally successful. The revelations and “elephants in the room” that they enabled us to address in an open, constructive manner has made a meaningful impact to the organization.

They force you out of your comfort zone and if you are willing to trust them the results will follow. I have worked with other coaches over the years but the team at MGL is the best I have encountered and I give them immense credit for how far we have progressed on our journey to shift from a collection of talented individuals to a high-performing leadership team.

Dom’s dedication and passion for his work is evidenced in the way he engages with people. He brings a rare combination of empathy with discipline by working difficult “muscles” in order to retrain them to respond in new ways and interact effectively. His humor and warmth should not be mistaken for lack of structure; to the contrary, he brings incredible focus to any discussion by asking pointed questions sensitively and not letting individuals or teams find subterfuge in superficial responses. This is deep tissue work that gets at the heart of the issue by paying attention to the big picture as well as the details.

Before working with Morris Graham, I knew the importance of team work, and I used my instinct to do my best when working with others. Now, it is totally different. To achieve higher level of team work and to bring the performance of an organization to a totally new level, you have to have deeper self-awareness, you need to build emotional connection with others and with the team, you need to have tools, and even more important, you have to adapt to new behavior. Morris Graham has demonstrated the top level expertise to help people and an organization to go through such transformation.

“

Direct, open, and at times difficult guided conversations enabled us to move beyond being a collection of individuals to being a team that is recognized as productive and effective with a strong emphasis on creating a constructive environment while not losing our "edge".

We work with MGL because their seasoned and experienced coaches work effectively with our senior leaders and combine the value of individual and team coaching with the business relevance and results orientation that we require in our industry.

Groups

Change through dialogue

Collective thinking is by far the best way to tackle complex issues: Why haven’t your gender diversity efforts delivered results yet? Why can’t you achieve 100% quality? We help teams collaborate more productively and take an objective and informed approach to problem solving. Constructive dialogue reveals the subtle dynamics that shape a group of people. Divulging personal experiences and exposing deep-seated assumptions will reveal the invisible structures that inhibit change.
