We describe ourselves as a learning and development company because we give you lifelong skills that go beyond showing you the ‘how to do’, they go beyond training to actually change your external observable behaviours.

We help you discover the whole structure of your experiences, by helping you understand and recognise your own identity and the underpinning beliefs and values that influence you in your decisions and actions.

At NoLimits, you learn through experience, you receive feedback, you recognise where you can do better, you stretch yourself further and commit. We help you understand and recognise the power of how your attitude, physiology, the language you use to yourself and others and your work/life balance, gives your greater personal fulfilment. Greater personal fulfilment enables you to do significantly better and outperform your current experience in your working and personal life.

This integrated approach is more than just knowledge and experience, it is understanding and recognising how your mental processes influence your achievements.

The behaviour that the outer world observes is the culmination of many internal aspects. The 10% of the visible iceberg.

What is most important to you?

“Exceptional Shareholder Returns”

How is this achieved?

“Growing profitable market share”

What makes this happen?

“Creating a customer focus, producing and selling competitive products and services”

How does this come about?

“Talent, great selling skills, marketing, investment decisions, identifying opportunities, innovation and execution”

And what does this depend on?

“Our People. Keeping them, keeping them innovating, customer focused and inspired with a real will to win”

How do you do this?

NoLimits Corporate Services can help you. We work in partnership with you, helping you create a culture that brings out the best in your people and emphatically leads to best in class shareholder returns.
 

Employee engagement embraces employee satisfaction, commitment, motivation, the job itself, customer focus, quality and empowerment.

Engaged employees give you their discretionary effort and their intention to stay.

The results have been proved time and again (10 years of employee satisfaction surveys 1996-2006, Fortune 50 company).

To create employee engagement:

Pay and benefits may be important in attracting and retaining people, but engaging employees requires a continuous effort to develop and maintain an enriching work experience in which the employee feels valued and involved.

Employee engagement is about employees who want to stay with you and employees who want to give you and your company their discretionary commitment to go that bit further, to sell one more product or help one more customer… ‘the willingness and ability to contribute to company success, through putting in extra time, brainpower and energy into their work’ - Towers Perrin (2003)

Global human resources firm, Hewitt Associates, has data showing the strongest link yet between engaged employees and business success. Analysis of 1,500 companies over a seven-year period showed that higher engagement levels had markedly higher total shareholder return.  Companies with between 60% and 100% engagement achieved an average return of 24.%, whereas those with lower engagement had lower return at 9.%. When engagement is below 25%, those companies suffer a negative total shareholder return.
 

For the individual, the benefits of employee engagement are ‘energy, mental resilience, self-significance, personal fulfilment and a sense of well-being that can lead to both greater job and life satisfaction as well as higher performance ratings’ - Harter et al. (2002); Jones and Harter (2005).

The engaged employee ‘looks for and is given opportunities to improve organisational performance, is positive about the job and the organisation, works actively to make things better, treats others with respect, and helps colleagues to perform more effectively, can be relied upon and goes beyond the requirements of the job, sees the bigger picture even at personal cost, identifies with the organisation, keeps up to date with developments in his/her field’ - IES (2004)

The following are important aspects of any engagement program. Towers Perrin (2003 and 2004); IES (2004)

1. Enable senior management to understand the nature of employee engagement and to communicate a vision for future success

2. Understand employee perceptions and measure engagement

3. Invest in leadership and management development and establish clear behavioural expectations

4. Give employees and much job challenge as possible

5. Provide a strong development focus linked to opportunities for advancement

6. Increase involvement and two way communication

7. Develop effective internal co-operation models

Achieving engagement is about cultural change. The components that matter fall into three categories: Leadership, Talent, Teamwork and form a culture focused on employee development driving employee engagement.
 

These approaches must be embedded in leadership behaviors'. The real underlying key is to generate a positive spiral of increasing employee engagement and manager effectiveness.
 

The sum of all parts
The sum of all your parts and the organisation’s parts is far greater and more significant than an individual part. That is why we focus your learning in an all rounded approach. The biggest asset of any organisation is its people. It takes more than one person to make an organisation successful. It takes more than the top 10% of the organisation to make a difference. It takes every single person who works with your organisation to make a significant difference and to make that organisation truly successful. That is why our approach encourages and gives individuals the tools and techniques to be leaders. If you cannot lead yourself, you will not be able to lead others.

You have the resources
We all have the resources to do much better, we are all born with the ability to learn. Our approach is to give you continuous learning by doing and experiencing firsthand how you can make positive changes, we not only offer you ongoing learning and development programs, we also offer personalised coaching that sustains your learning and motivates you to be who you aspire to be and to do much better. Haven’t we all said to ourselves ‘if only I knew then what I know now’? We have a natural and innate capacity to learn. The more you learn, the more information you have.

The more information you have, the more likely you are to make better decisions.

Personal and Professional Development Go Hand in Hand

Have you ever tried to run a wheel that is half missing, partly missing or is slightly flat? This will not result in a successful and smooth running journey. Similarly for you to be truly fulfilled at what you do, a combination of both personal and professional growth is the best recipe for success. Truly fulfilled employees leads to a highly successful organisation.

The NoLimits approach is guaranteed to ‘inflate’ you with the motivation, confidence and commitment to do better. We also offer you a smooth and exciting journey of self discovery and development, resulting in you gaining greater insights about yourself and others who interact and work with you, enabling you to be far more successful at what you want to be and do.
 

We use a combination of the following:

• Practical exercises for individuals and groups
• Learn by doing and experiencing
• Reflection
• Coaching and feedback
• Video
• Anchoring your success
• Role modelling strategies
• Role play
• Identification of Values, Belief and Vision to fully discover your passion
• MBTI®, FIRO-B®, and SHL-OPQ
• Thomas Kilmann (TKI) and Parker Team Player asseeements
• 360° Feedback
• NLP and Sensory Preference Analysis

MBTI® Instrument

After more than 50 years, the MBTI® assessment tool continues to be the most trusted and widely used in the world for understanding individual differences and uncovering new ways to work and interact with others.

More than 2 million assessments are administered to individuals-including employees of many Fortune 500 companies-annually in the United States alone. The MBTI® family of tools reaches across the globe in 16 languages to help improve individual and team performance, nurture and retain top talent, develop leadership at every level of an organization, reduce workplace conflict, and explore the world of work.

We use our extensive experience to help you analyse and interpret the MBTI® data for yourself and your team. This powerful interpretation allows increased self awareness, awareness of others preferred styles, better communication, increased team performance and improved business results.

FIRO-B® Instrument
The instrument measures how a person typically behaves towards others and how they would like others to behave towards them, it:

• helps people build more positive and productive working relationships

• helps individuals become more aware and flexible in their style of relating to others

• aids team-building

• assesses interpersonal style on three levels – Inclusion, Control and Affection

Developed by Will Schutz, the FIRO-B® instrument is a powerful aid to team, leadership and individual development. As well as facilitating prediction of compatibility and conflict between people, it can show the type of interpersonal environment in which individuals are likely to thrive and give information on the impressions people create.

The questionnaire can be used in:

Team building and development

• Identifying likely sources of compatibility or tension

• Identifying leadership style

• Aiding effective decision-making

• Improving communication, openness and trust

• Conflict resolution

• Individual development

• Increasing self-awareness

Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ)
OPQ32 is the most widely used Occupational Personality Questionnaire and is available in over 20 languages, with an unparalleled worldwide research base.

OPQ32 is a personality questionnaire for use in the selection and development of people at work. It provides valuable information on people’s preferred behaviour on 32 relevant characteristics.

OPQ32 is available for administration, scoring and reporting on your desktop or laptop PC, using the SHL Expert Assessment System. Questions are presented on screen and responses are entered directly. The computer can then score and produce a variety of in-depth and user friendly profiles and reports, quickly and effectively.

Suitable for:

• Recruitment and selection

• Succession planning

• Team building and development

The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI)

Learn Your Conflict Management Style
Conflict is often seen as negative, yet it can lead to great change and improvement. Learning when your conflict management style is appropriate and adding new styles to your abilities will give you the edge you’ve been missing up until now. Most of us prefer one style; learning other styles will increase your effectiveness and ability to work well with others. Learn how the TKI assessment tool can help you improve your conflict resolution skills.

What styles do your colleagues use?
The TKI assessment tool gives each person a report on the 5 conflict styles or modes. Each mode is appropriate in different situations; each is effective at different times. Learn which mode is your primary and when to use it for best results. Discover how to use your less preferred modes for conflict resolution in work, family, and social gatherings. Test each person in your group to learn how you can all get along better.

Conflict is unavoidable
Yes, it's human nature. We even have conflict within ourselves, without any outside interference. Given that we have to live with conflict, how can we adapt and adjust to make the process go more smoothly and create a positive end result? We can take our results from the TKI to learn new conflict resolution skills. Frequently, our emotions and desires can make communication difficult. Use the TKI to learn what others are doing in those situations and learn to understand your own behavior during tense moments. You can master these challenges with knowledge and practice.

For best results, test your whole group. You'll then have the tools in hand to begin a conflict resolution training session, retreat, or workshop. The TKI is also an excellent tool for conflict resolution when 2 or more individuals are having trouble working together. The information from the reports can be used to begin a constructive dialogue, as a place to start discussion, eliminating blame.

Parker Team Player
The Parker Team Player Program offers an all-inclusive package of materials to help achieve extraordinary results through teams. Versatile and easy-to-use, the Parker self-assessment helps individuals identify their preferred team player style—contributor, collaborator, communicator, or challenger—and discover the role they can play to maximize their contribution to overall team performance.

Help team members discover how they can improve their interpersonal effectiveness and support, challenge, and inspire their fellow team members to produce outstanding results. The NoLimits team use the comprehensive Parker Team Player Program to jump-start teambuilding and team development efforts.

360 degree feedback
360° feedback involves a range of people (manager, direct reports, peers, customers etc) being invited to rate or comment on key behaviours and attributes of a particular person. This is usually done using specially constructed competency questionnaires. Ratings and comments are therefore about specific behaviour rather than general impressions.

In comparison with conventional appraisal techniques, 360° feedback has the advantage of providing a much more rounded picture of how an individual is perceived by those with whom he or she comes into contact.

Nolimits utilises a web-based 360° feedback system, for minimum administration, to provide a detailed report to the individual, helping him or her see how each aspect of his or her behaviour and performance is viewed by different people and how the perceptions of others differ from his or her own perceptions.

In addition to presenting extensive details information in graphical and tabular formats, our reports provide the person with a clear guide in relation to those areas in which he or she should concentrate further developmental efforts in order to improve work performance in each competency area. We offer post test coaching to enable the individual to operationalise their personal development and achieve substantial lasting changes in behaviour. Follow-up feedback is used to monitor ongoing progress.

Work-Life Balance Activities
Our NoLimits Work-Life Balance Implementation team identifies resources and policies that your staff and HR teams can use in finding and deploying programs to balance responsibilities and interests at work with lives outside of work, promoting a family-friendly work environment, and implementing flexible and creative ways to aid in the recruitment and retention of talented employees. Our team also recommends improvements in services and future planning priorities.

Having identified existing resources and policies that support diverse life styles, interests and family needs, an implementation program is developed. The intent of the program is to support the cultural development of a work-life balance across the whole corporation that increases employee engagement, driving talent retention, attracting top-talent and increasing motivation and discretionary effort. A properly implemented work-life balance program will ensure increased motivation and efficiency and improved business results.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
NLP is a set of simple, yet highly effective, tools and techniques that help us produce excellence in what we do.   It has its roots in psychology and the study of excellence. It was born 30 years ago from the work of Richard Bandler (a mathematician) and John Grinder (a linguist), who studied some of the world’s greatest communicators.

Their research identified not only the elements that defined effectiveness, but also how to teach these vital skills to others, to help them unlock their true potential.

Have you ever had the experience of a meeting that went particularly well, or a project that met every deadline and criteria? And yet there are times when it just doesn’t go as well?

NLP is like the switch you can flick to make sure your successes become your new standard. It gives you an understanding of what made the difference in those situations and what the critical changes are, which would mean you can always perform to that standard.

Our NoLimits team includes Certified Trainers, NLP Master Practioners and Practioners. We can help you leverage this extensive toolset in the business context and help you and your teams develop vital new skills that will produce results in business and in all areas of your life.

We use NLP in many of our programs, with this we can help you:

What is the greatest resource of any business?

Talent is as much created as inherent in the individual

“A baby has the full potential to acquire any talent and yet it has none”

Greater emphasis on development will motivate most people to become stars in their own field

“The customary way in which companies try to identify talent destroys a lot of untapped potential”

The more effective the people the more successful the business will be.

What’s happening to your talent?

Competition for top talent is on the increase

• Over the next 15 years, managerial positions will increase by 25%, while the available population of 25-44 year olds will decrease by 15%.
  U.S. Department of Census

Employees don’t leave companies, they leave bosses

• After 20 years of research and 60,000 exit interviews, the Saratoga Institute reports that 80% of turnover is due to unsatisfactory relationships with the boss

Execution - match the right people with the right opportunities

• Double Digit growth is about execution: getting the right people doing the right things to manage a portfolio of separate, clear and achievable growth strategies.
  Double Digit Growth: How Great Companies Achieve it – No Matter What, Michael Treacy.

Managing Talent drives improved performance

• A study of nearly 200 banks shows that commitment-oriented management practices are associated with approximately 30% difference in financial performance. The Human Equation, Jeffrey Pfeffer.

There is an increasing war for talent.

Organisation’s that manage talent achieve two outstanding benefits:

• The attraction and retention of top talent

• and the engagement of the whole organization in applying discretionary effort.

The war for talent is manageable.  NoLimits structured approaches to Talent Management help drive employee engagement. Employee engagement is not only about discretionary effort.  Employee engagement is about intent to stay.
 

Our Organizational Excellence programs are designed to give you information on the latest and newest trends on some of the best methods in learning and development to increase organizational performance. We can implement and integrate best practices with your existing programs and culture. We also maintain the focus on practical knowledge transfer essential for you as a learning organization.

This means that organisations have to learn to be agile, to capitalise on every opportunity and to embrace continuous improvement and innovation at all levels of the organisation.

We are available to give advice and information to organizations, alternatively we run tailored open-enrolment programs that last up to 3 hours and are a great opportunity to network and learn what other organizations are doing in this field.
 

Team building is about Team Excellence.  It is those efforts in which a team studies its own process of working together and acts to create a climate that encourages and values the contributions of team members. Their energies are directed toward problem solving, task effectiveness, and maximizing the use of all members' resources to achieve the team's purpose.

Great team building recognizes that it is not possible to fully separate one's performance from those of others. Powerful teams of people working collaboratively and towards organisational goals are critical for organisational success.

We can provide you with in-house, tailored programs and team effectiveness workshops that address the needs of your teams.

These programs build on core coaching skills for leaders, talent management and employee engagement programs and use the latest team and individual profiling tools to encourage mutual understanding.

What does true Team Excellence look like?

• Team goals are developed through a group process of interaction and agreement. Each team member is willing to work toward achieving these goals

• Participation is active by all and roles are shared to facilitate the accomplishment of tasks and generate a feeling of unity

• Feedback is actively sought by team members and freely given, focused on evaluating the team's performance and clarifying both feelings and interests of the team members. All feedback is ‘feed-forward’ based on a desire to help the other person

• Team decision making involves a process that encourages active participation by all members

• Leadership is distributed and shared among team members and individuals willingly contribute their resources as needed

• Problem solving, discussing team issues, and critiquing team effectiveness are encouraged by all team members

• Conflict is never suppressed. Team members are allowed to express negative feelings and confrontation within the team which is managed and dealt with by the team. Dealing with and managing conflict is seen as a way to improve team performance

• Team member resources, talents, skills, knowledge, and experiences are fully identified, recognised, and used whenever appropriate

• Risk taking and creativity are encouraged. When mistakes are made, they are celebrated as a source of learning rather than reasons for punishment

This is your check list to evaluate your level of team excellence.

We help achieve this excellence leveraging established best practices and working with you to support cultural change in all of the above areas with our high impact team learning techniques. We also include the use of Myers-Briggs (MBTI) profiles, conflict resolution with Thomas Kilman, and role clarification with Parker Team Player. 360 Degree Feedback can also be used for the team as a whole and individually for team leaders, to provide effective actionable feedback and establish metrics to measure behavioural and performance improvement.

Alternatively we offer open-enrolment programs where CEOs, Functional Heads, Departmental Managers and Team Leaders can learn about influencing and leading their teams to achieve positive results.
 

We offer customized training for trainers for all our programs, tools and techniques. Interviews with department heads and leaders demonstrate time and again that the best way to learn is to do it yourself. We can provide you, your department heads or your HR and training staff with tailored in-house solutions for effective knowledge transfer and the integration of tools and techniques into your existing leadership curriculum and talent development programs.
