Geraldine Fitzpatrick, Developing People & Culture

My Approach

“I help people shape their good professional life, create collegial workplace cultures through transpersonal leadership skills, and develop supportive institutional policies and processes. 

To help you get to the results you want, I make time to understand your context and needs. 

I design bespoke learning experiences that are highly interactive and participatory, offering actionable concepts, tools and strategies based on good science. 

I draw on a deep understanding of the academic sector from my own experiences and that of my podcast guests.

My personal strengths of empathy, curiosity, and perspective-taking enable me to pivot and respond to needs as they arise.

I believe in people and their innate wisdom. That we are all imperfect humans trying to do better, be better. And that we become better together.

Creating Environments
where People can Thrive

Developing people: to shape their own great work based on knowing themselves better and making choices better aligned with their values, using their strengths and making the difference they want to make.

Developing leaders: to intentionally skilfully create collaborative, compassionate and productive environments in which people can develop their full potential and thrive, promoting ‘excellence in context’.

Developing teams: to do great work together, that value diversity and inclusion and know how to work effectively together.

Creating supportive institutional policies and practices: that prioritise wellbeing, promote sustainable ‘excellence in context’ enabled by inclusive structures, policies, strategies that develop positive constructive work environments and that value diversity of contributions and career paths.

Shaping policy and strategy: by contributing to discussions at national and international levels to drive change particularly towards more sustainable academic cultures and research evaluation practices.

 

I bring a deep understanding of how to enable people to bring their best selves to work, supported by great leaders and by collegial workplace cultures and practices.
