Mentoring and external supervision
Tricia has provided mentoring and supervision to a wide range of professionals, including chief executives, team leaders, doctors and nurses, enabling them to deal more effectively and reflectively with the stresses of day to day work and enhance their performance.
Learning sets
Learning sets are an opportunity for a group of peers to come together over a period of time to explore dilemmas in the workplace and to self-generate solutions. They promote both personal and professional development; increasing motivation and confidence, improving effectiveness, and enabling staff to adapt to change. Tricia provides expert facilitation to ensure that the group remains focused, balanced and effective.
Management and leadership development
Tricia is passionate about the importance of clear and effective management and the role of leadership within organisations. Drawing on her extensive management experience and her rich understanding of organisational processes and systems, Tricia works with clients to develop their individual styles and approaches, supporting them to find solutions to management dilemmas and to become high performance leaders.
Coaching and career development
Coaching is a powerful tool for getting the best out of your staff, particularly at times of organisational change. Individual coaching sessions enable managers and senior staff to explore specific problems and find solutions to conflicts or challenges which impact on their role. Other sessions focus specifically on career development, identifying goals and how to achieve them.
‘Tricia has been my sanity through a very difficult time in my life, both from a work & personal point of view. Without her excellent guidance & ability to reframe difficult emotional issues I would not have been able to balance my work & home-life as well as I did or do! I cannot thank her enough for her support & understanding. I cannot imagine continuing with my job without her excellent clinical supervisory support!’
As a Trustee of the Sussex Beacon, Tricia worked with the management team individually and together, and with the Board of Trustees to help us think through our strategies and policies and to plan our long-term objectives. I was particularly struck by Tricia’s ability to work with people at different levels across the organisation, to bring people together and get them to work together, and her skill at drawing out issues from a mass of information provided at meetings and at workshop events and making this information coherent and, in particular, useable.
I have worked with Tricia Wass for more than 8 years and during that time we’ve worked on a variety of projects together. The joy of working with Tricia is that she truly listens to what you want to achieve and helps to facilitate this in order to achieve the organisation’s objectives. Tricia is constantly aware of the changing agenda and I have found her always able to provide the support and facilitation we have needed”
It’s a joy to work with Tricia. She has facilitated our annual staff and board away day for the last three years. It’s great to have a safe pair of hands guiding us through policy debates and various action plans. She is such a positive influence on our work. She‘s very much part of the Shape family!
