  Episode 61: 360s | The Business Case - A Client's Perspective with Frank Christie 01.10.2026 24min

  This episode launches 360, Unpacked, a new Radio Omnicor series that pulls apart every phase of running a 360 in organisations — from why organisations run one at all, through to what to do with the feedback once it lands. We're opening the series with the client's side of the story, Frank Christie, a strategic leadership and organisational development consultant with 30 years' experience working with people and organisations across South Africa. Frank recently guided an executive team through a 360 process. In this conversation he talks candidly about what motivated the decision, the hesitation that came before it, what the weeks in between launch and results felt like, and what changed once the team had sat with the feedback.One of the threads Frank kept coming back to, is how powerfully a 360 measures the gap between intention and impact, in other words, the difference between how a leader means to come across and how their behaviour lands. Closing that gap matters because it's leadership behaviour itself, he argued, that drives a team's productivity and how well it functions day to day.🔍 In this episode we explore:What was really going on for the exec team when they decided a 360 was the right moveHow to get a team genuinely bought in, rather than just compliantWhat the process felt like week to week, from launch to getting the results backThe moment a piece of feedback caught the team off guardWhy a 360 is such a powerful measure of intention versus impact in leadership behaviourHow leadership behaviour itself drives a team's productivity and how well it functionsWhat's different in how the team operates now, looking backWhether a 360 just confirms what everyone already knew, or genuinely shifts somethingHow the team handled feedback they wanted to push back on or dismissMore About Frank ChristieFrank Christie is a strategic leadership and organisational development consultant with 30 years' experience working with people and organisations across South Africa. He founded the Thembalitsha Foundation, driving social entrepreneurship, education and healthcare initiatives for marginalised communities.

Both guests are seasoned Organisational Development (OD) Practioners with whom we are currently piloting a new workshop for Coaches and OD Practioners. We discuss the changing role of the OD Practioner in the new world of work and why we can never go back to the pre-pandemic organisational structure.   Disruption caused by Covid-19 has provided valuable opportunities for learning and leadership. But how do we make sure it is seen by organisations that way? Being visible in a remote workplace can be tricky, or has it even changed? We’ve shared what we’re hearing from our clients and coachees, and one theme coming out strongly is how businesses seem to have moved from profit to purpose with covid amplifying what already existed in our teams and organisations. Using deep curiosity to make sense of the change uncovers that we are all more resourceful than we know. The conversation was both reflective and forward looking, leaving me enthused and full of hope!       Helpful Resources:   More about our guests:   https://au.linkedin.com/in/terri-soller-782352a   https://www.linkedin.com/in/gaby-rajak-waksman-41a14311/   More about concepts mentioned:     https://www.amazon.com/Practice-Adaptive-Leadership-Changing-Organization-ebook/dp/B004OC071W   https://www.coaching-online.org/somatic-coaching/   https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newPPM_94.htm   Finally, if you would like to know more about the new OD workshop send a mail to [email protected] to hear how your OD team can benefit.     Please check out our website www.omnicor.co.za   Thank you for your support

  Episode 43: Stop calling Emotional Intelligence a soft skill! 22.09.2021 53min

  Episode 43: Stop calling Emotional Intelligence a soft skill! During a time when your EI (Emotional Intelligence) is as important- if not more so important than your IQ, we sat down to better understand this with Dr Karina De Bruin who teaches and measures EI for a living. Although this is a competency that can be taught, it is by no means easy. Karina wishes that we would all stop calling these skills “soft” and understand how critical they are in all areas of our lives if we want to have flourishing relationships and ultimately successful careers. Turns out that the old fashion “manners” our parents drilled into us could be the very thing we need to integrate into the world of work.
