Toni Snelgrove

Toni's background includes roles of sales, project management and consulting with Price Waterhouse Management Consultants (now IBM Business Consulting Services) and of general management with a Fletcher Challenge company - Open Learning Company (now closed).

• Leadership (including managing complex change, integrity, performance analysis and management and strategic thinking)
• Goal setting and action planning
• Interpersonal skills (including influence and charisma, EQ, conflict management, negotiation)
• Group facilitation and meeting management ("coaching the coach")
• Key account relationships and customer focus
• Strategic selling
• Career management and succession planning
• Coaching the Coach and mentoring
• Group Coaching for skill building e.g. Optimism, Stress Resilience, Team Building [using Myers-Briggs Type Indicator], Relationship Awareness, Interpersonal Skills [using the EQ], Future Focus, Work-Life Balance, Career Management and Personal Branding.

Toni regularly work with all levels of participant, with ages ranging from 20 years to mid-50 years of age. Some of the issues associated with roles are fundamentally different whilst other issues are common.

• CEO
• General Manager
• Business Unit Manager
• Middle manager
• First time-first line Supervisor and "seasoned" first line Supervisor
• Staff member

Toni's clients include:

• Fletcher Challenge Ltd
• The Warehouse Ltd
• Feltex Carpets Ltd
• Foodstuffs (Auckland) Ltd
• Ministry of Education
• and smaller enterprises such as Obex Medical Ltd and Workbase.

As a registered psychologist and formally trained in mentoring and coaching, Toni works from a sound theoretical base whilst using an eclectic range of practical tools. For example:

• The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), (which measures amongst other factors, decision-making styles and team types)
• The Relationship Awareness Tool (interpersonal relationships)
• The Foresight Tool (measuring Future Focus)
• The Belbin Team Types tool
• The EQ tool (Emotional Quotient - self-awareness and people skills)
• The Stress Map
• Learned Optimism
• The Values Inventory (through Values at Work).

Toni's points of difference are grounded in a combination of:

• Working from the Participant's strengths and What Really Matters to them
• Her caring-yet-practical approach - which customers say is both non-threatening yet challenging
• Having a working understanding of the competitive corporate environment [as a General Manager and Project Manager], as well as a conceptual and strategic understanding grounded in psychology, organisational change management and mentoring.
• Using pre-measures and post-measures to track progress, through the Daily Habits Measurement System
• Having access to a range of Coaches and Coaching Tools through the ECC.
