Intuition is a spark. I was talking with a client recently about the power and challenge of intuition in professional practice.

In professional practice that instinct gets translated into structure, tested, documented and repeatable. What once felt like a "gut feeling" becomes a method others can trust, critique and build on.

The real craft isn't just knowing something works. Its learning to explain why it works, refine when it doesn't and deliver it consistently under pressure.

Intuition starts the journey. Discipline makes it useful.

Morning all, I'll start...some days I'm not entirely sure what makes my business unique but then I reflect and I see the outcomes for my clients and I'm reminded.

* The safe space for professionals to explore their role and their practice skills within the work they do.

* The moments of reflection when a leaders say something like.. "oh I see the patterns now, I wonder if I try this next time......."

* When the client leads the session something like "I've got this idea and I want some space to flesh it out, so it becomes reality"

*An audit/review highlights the incredible growth of quality a practitioner or service has attained.

*A session feels like I'm have said nearly nothing but the client has heard so much of their ownnreflections.

*A team starts demonstrating naturally everything you've been teaching them in a complex case review session.

Oh my God...I love my job and the work my clients do, maybe that's what makes ...
Mardi Finlay Consultancy and Support Services so unique.

The points of difference about my work.

1. For me it's important that the work I do is individualised and is targeted to build the capacity and quality of the professionals and services I'm working with.

2. My work can be flexible depending upon what each individual session brings to the table. Some days it's reflective supervision, others it's project review or others it's complex case consultancy.

3. My work can be fixed, where we agree on the work that needs to be completed together and we work collaboratively through each project. (Yes I can proof read your policy documents or position descriptions)

4. I do not sell packages or subscriptions or products. I agree to bring to the table my expertise, my training and skills as well as my passion and drive for improving this sector. I negotiate a schedule with services for support to suit their needs (weekly, monthly, ad hoc) once we've agreed we are a good match.

Burnout is real and often hard to recognise when we are the ones experiencing it.

Please reach out,
Seek help,
talk to friend or colleague and
really consider the value of an external supervisor or Mentor to help you.

You are important.
