Calling All Humans.

 The team at Made Better Human are committed to providing a very authentic human experience.

We are all about magnifying the humanity and kindness in organisations. We help teams, their leaders and the organisation as a whole connect with the unique qualities that will create the human experience that is often missing from the modern workplace.

This is done through building genuine connections and relationships with our customers and clients. We listen to what you want and need designing solutions and talking through options that will work for you and your business.

Whether it is quality learning solutions that effect change, well-run public events that spark your curiosity, impactful counselling, or providing transformative consulting services to organisations: Made Better Human will work it out and deliver the right solution.

Transitions can be messy. We can help you through.

Welcome to Made Better Human.


consulting

We recognise that sometimes becoming better humans within your organisation means you are after something more customised.

That’s not a problem, Made Better Consulting is the place where we offer our skills in guided strategic conversations and consulting or coaching. We know how to partner with you in the areas of organisational effectiveness, leadership, transformation, and team development.

 

LEADERSHIP

Our approach with Made Better Leadership is to support leaders with coaching, learning and practical skills development that makes their role purposeful and individually meaningful.

Our leaders are the heralds of organisational change and drive the cultural direction of our businesses. When we equip our leaders to understand how to have impactful conversations and to share powerful stories with their teams, we set them up for success.

 

TRANSITIONS

Transitional Agility is a necessary skill for all of us. The constant churn of change and our ability to manoeuvre a way through changes has become a hallmark of contemporary living. Made Better Transitions is a service that supports teams and individuals through change. Whether outplacement services or career transition management or the management of change for a project, our team bring a wealth of experience in supporting people through transitions.

events

  Made Better Events are short sessions that help build your knowledge and skills within a community setting. Designed with the brain in mind, you can expect to fit one of our Made Better Events into a lunch break or over a beverage at the end of your work day. Offered face-to-face and online, these sessions are the perfect dose of learning, inspiration, and insight.We want to give you opportunities to learn, connect and go away just a little better off than you arrived.

 

COUNSELLING

Our qualified and registered counsellors can support people with a range of personal and professional needs.

Made Better Counselling specialises in narrative therapeutic approaches (along with other modalities) to support people who are experiencing ‘stuckness’ or just want to work through a transitional stage of their life or career.

 
 

MEDIATION

Made Better Mediation works provides mediation services to resolve conflicts and to create workable plans for individuals and groups who want to plot a way through a return-to-work plan, a repair of a ruptured working relationship or to land a win-win outcome through a difficult / high stakes process. We use a narrative mediation approach to guide groups and individuals through their mediated conversations.

learning

 Made Better Learning is a suite of scientifically grounded modules designed to help people strengthen their emotional competencies.

 We provide a range of modules that will help you to better understand yourself and more consciously manage your responses to life and work. They will also improve your awareness of others and support you in building stronger and more meaningful relationships with others.

 

WELLBEING

Navigating the varied complexities of life and the art of work-life integration inform our Made Better Wellbeing support services. We appreciate that having someone to talk to, to work through ideas that can get us back in a zone of optimal performance can be invaluable. We have a range of qualified and accredited coaches, counsellors and wellbeing experts who can provide individuals and teams with information and practical tools along with an empathetic space to bring us back to a place of personal resilience.

At Made Better Human we work collaboratively with groups of talented people. The core team of Callan McDonnell, MJ Cormack, Damien Costanzo and Michelle Daley  are the driving force behind Made Better Human.  Occasionally we play to the strengths of associates in our network because the world is better when we all do what we are great at.
