Elaura works with large organisations: do you do anything for ordinary people?

Glad you asked. Yes, we do project work for teams and long-term work for global organisations (and SMEs and Regional Players and Startups); but helping individuals to take their next step is where we started - and where we continue to be.

We have a whole site devoted to that - here is that address if you are in a hurry - https://birkman.me

Or let us highlight some key Birkman Method® use cases for individuals:

Career Crossroads: whether you have just lost, or are in the process of losing your job; or continue to be employed, but are feeling there must be something that fits you better, our Career Crossroads package is designed to help you come up with a menu of options that will be sustainable for you. And maybe you can pursue more than one option, just in the right order.

New Leader: even the most successful manager tends to stumble a little as they move into leadership. The phenomenon is well documented; the Birkman difference is that we can help you find the levers to make positive change to navigate the big step up. Everybody can be a leader; but what makes the difference is having a clear map of the work you need to do to succeed.

Reframing Retirement: most people who have had a successful career want something more meaningful out of their “third age” than just going fishing (although that may be just what you need for a while). Birkman can help you think through the big change, and come up with options that allow you to leverage professional skills, or the hobbies and interests no one else ever knew about, to come up with a plan to make this time both meaningful and memorable.

And there’s a couple more: we said we can help new leaders, but we have worked with plenty of Existing Leaders over the years; whether your organisation is giving you funding for some coaching, or you are doing this on your own initiative and with your own money, we can help tailor something to meet your needs.

And one more that we tend to tailor directly to what is most important to you: Returning to Work is something particularly relevant to mothers coming back after taking time out to have children. Whether you have been away for 6 months or a number of years, this is a great opportunity to rethink what really matters most to you, and whether you should look for a job or start your own business. We look forward to speaking with you!

So here’s that address again: https://birkman.me - see you there soon!
