As human beings we suffer from negative bias, which at no fault of our own, can cause us to make incorrect assumptions about things we don’t know enough about, for example during times of change. The uncertainty that comes with change and the lack of information about what the future will look like, will cause us to make negative assumptions to fill in the blanks and those negative assumptions can cause increased stress. If change in the workplace isn’t managed well it can cause employees to lose trust in their employer, become demotivated, disengaged and potentially spread negative assumptions to other employees. If change isn’t leader-led, it can cause significant productivity loss and risk high performing staff to leave.
After over twenty years of executing coaching and management services to Blue-Chip organisations, Esther De La Cruz noticed she had a gift for helping employees navigate uncertainty and helping organisations make the complex simple to enable transparent communication around change, which builds trust. Founding herself as a Change Specialist, she uses positive psychology to assist employees through periods of change so they can realise the intended benefits. Esther does so by focusing on creating an open dialogue around change and developing transparent communications between staff, executives, and company CEOs. With this positive communication, she can then align all employees toward a common goal and help them see how their input and positive teamwork are fundamental and contribute directly to the growth and success of the business.
Working with medium to large businesses; Esther De La Cruz and her team can transform companies through several uniquely tailored strategies. They begin by entering a business and diagnosing the key challenges surrounding the desired change, understanding the core drivers and the possible lack of motivation from staff to support it. From there, they work efficiently to create an environment based on transparent communication, trust and teamwork, where employees and business owners can speak free of judgement about any change or negativity that may be impeding their performance and their support for the change. This open dialogue helps frame the basis of leadership workshops to increase organisational resilience for current and future change and with that improve the culture and create sustainable change success in the short and long term.
When asked why her change management strategies stand out in the market, Esther De La Cruz responded, “I have gained extensive experience in what it takes to lead the change as it’s happening, but to also ensure the change is embedded and realises the benefits for the organisation by leveraging positive psychology and neuroscience. Through experience and continuous learning, I have a track record of supporting executives to create transparency, trust and highly collaborative work environments, in which everyone involved can thrive and achieve change success.”
Esther specialises in developing a range of solutions to create the right environment for change success, including unique coaching techniques based on extensive research into resilience and positive psychology. She most commonly executes training across executive leadership, building successful change strategies for short-term and long-term change, and facilitating focused workshops that unite all stakeholders, executive team members and employees.
