Hello, I’m Marie Richards-Hodge, Business Facilitator, Trainer, Advisor and Coach.

High performing businesses do not exist without high performing people, and the most direct path to success and excellence in your organisation is to support your people to be star performers.

I work with people to achieve personal and professional excellence. I help develop motivated, engaged teams and staff, and give them the tools that will add significant value to their businesses and organisations.

All human goals and challenges are different, so listening is essential to what I do. As a facilitator, coach and business advisor, my work is customised to the unique needs of each client, each group, and each situation, while also designed to deliver on organisational objectives and strategic vision.

I have spent two decades consulting with leaders and managers, writing, and presenting workshops and programmes. I have worked in senior management roles, in academic environments and owned successful businesses.

All this has given me a sound theoretical base as well as broad and extensive practical experience.

I am constantly learning and building my expertise, and can offer many different tools, strategies, and approaches to find a development solution that works for you and your business.

How Collaborative Innovations will work with you

An integrated and consistent approach

Creating and maintaining a high performing business requires an integrated and consistent approach.

This means your organisation should have a shared purpose, shared meaning, congruent leadership, shared values, and shared vision. It is essential for everyone in the business to be clear about goals and best practice.  

Alongside this, there must be a high standard of technical and relationship management skills such as:

• Positive and collaborative attitudes

• Effective communication

• Conflict management skills

• Teamwork

• Commitment to ongoing learning and practice

 “I believe in the power and worth of the individual, and my career has proven that when we equip and encourage people to bring this into the workplace, the result is a sustainable, high-performing culture of excellence”
