Cultural Awareness
TraceWorthy Consulting's Founder and senior consultant, Tracy Wilkinson, is experienced in cross-cultural interactions at both personal and business levels, having lived and worked in and traded with a variety of countries and cultures.
Cultural sensitivity begins with the understanding that there are differences among cultures. Furthermore, cultural sensitivity includes placing value on this diversity. One can never learn everything about another culture; however, there are practical, everyday steps we can take to develop our cultural awareness.
TraceWorthy Consulting is experienced in running leadership development programs across cultures and across generations. These programs are particularly useful when there is a diverse group of stakeholders, with sometimes conflicting needs, that need to work together for joint outcomes.
Cross-cultural awareness training is founded in communication and involves teaching people the ability of standing back from themselves and becoming aware of their cultural values, beliefs and perceptions; and, how these impact on those around them. These programs build respect and understanding in relationships and are essential in developing lasting business partnerships.
As senior consultant of Inkata Market Concepts, Tracy Wilkinson was engaged by the Western Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (WA CCI) to undertake research into the influence of gender on international trade negotiations. At that time, she was also the Managing Director of Acirema Associates Pty Ltd, a successful import / export company.
The research focused on Australians trading within the Asia-Pacific region, and defined strategies for when and how gender differences could be utilised to the negotiator’s advantage in securing international trade deals. At the time, this work was highly controversial, but proved worthwhile when the WA CCI invited her to present the research findings and recommended strategies to its membership.
English as a Second Language
Monarch Cruise Line and Hospitality Training Center invited Tracy Wilkinson, then Director and Senior Consultant of Western Influences International, into their schools to work with their students to further develop their English speaking skills. We deliver innovative training sessions entitled “English Gives You Choices.” The students are challenged to interactive exercises that encourage them to use English words and phrases that are typically outside of their work day vocabulary. The training focuses on building student motivation and confidence, which opens up employment and other opportunities for them.
The training days are inevitably filled with laughter, as the students and staff learn new ways to communicate. Feedback from Monarch Training Centre shows that, after the training sessions, students are left with a sense of accomplishment, an increase in confidence and a desire for adventure in their future.
TraceWorthy Consulting is looking to expand its relationship with Monarch Training Centre by working with the teaching faculty, as well as the students. This will include getting involved in the recruitment of appropriate staff, their performance appraisal and their ongoing professional development.
Coaching Programs
TraceWorthy Consulting offers business leaders structured coaching programs to further any owner’s or manager’s vision for growing and evolving their business. We find that leaders often feel isolated and in need of leadership themselves. TraceWorthy Consulting provides a forum for leaders to stretch their capabilities, test ideas and increase their power.
This service also extends to staff, where appropriate. TraceWorthy Consulting often coaches whole teams to align their vision to that of the governing members. That is, the TraceWorthy Consulting team puts everyone in an organisation on the same path to creating a better future for all involved in the business.
The format of a coaching program varies from business to business. The service is tailored to the needs of the business and the staff. Sometimes, weekly meetings are the appropriate vehicle. Sometimes, video Skype calls are useful. Sometimes, workshops on specific subject matters work better. The TraceWorthy Consulting team will work with you to design the best coaching program for your business.
Personal Development
TraceWorthy Consulting’s Founder and senior consultant has been a business and life coach since 1996, when she first opened her own marketing consultancy. She has supported businesses in all phases: research and development; start up; stall and freefall; market expansion; and, shut down. An extension of that work is partnering business owners and senior managers in their own concurrent development, which strengthens any business development being undertaken by the organisation as a whole.
The businesses she has worked with are diverse in shape and form, from developing homemakers and hobby artists into small businesses; through to being instrumental in developing a technique to have a leading petroleum company uncover why their staff were leaving on mass, taking all their years of experience with them. She also integrated a complementary and alternative health clinic into a mainstream teaching hospital, which has since expanded into hospitals across Australia.
Her skill set lies in getting into people’s hearts. She uncovers things about people that they don’t know hold them back. She often works with whole families or whole organisations to get to the source of what is really going on for them.
As well as working with businesses, TraceWorthy Consulting designs corporate development programs specifically for companies and executives committed to making an extraordinary difference in business, developing breakthrough results in productivity, revenue, profitability and service – all through ensuring that the people leading others are in the best form they can be.
Corporate Governance
TraceWorthy Consulting has a great deal of experience setting up companies under a variety of jurisdictions, including:
· establishing a legal entity under the Australian Corporations Act 2001, as well as developing replaceable rules and constitutions;
· incorporating a business under the Australian Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006;
· incorporating a foreign investment limited liability company in Indonesia, known as Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Asing (PT PMA) under Indonesian Company Law No. 40 of 2007.
This often involves developing appropriate corporate governance structures. TraceWorthy Consulting can provide corporate governance training that covers understanding the legal obligations of the officeholders; how to make integrous decisions; and, maintaining appropriate records.
