Connecting: The New Way to Work
The Other Consulting offers a wide array of services for teams or individuals, plus workshops and 1-on-1 executive coaching.
Our unique 4-step Method (see below) leads to more cooperation, happier employees, better teams, greater productivity, and higher retention.
By humanizing our organizations, we foster deeper roots and stronger connections between people. We create environments where both sides of any issue can be right.
A Holistic Approach
The Other Consulting blends a variety of methods in a unique process:
Deep Exploration & Crystal Clarity
Matt Perry brings a journalist’s ability to ask the right questions to his consulting work to get to the root of the problem.
Somatic Principles
As a somatic practitioner, Matt can help you get out of your head and into the deep wisdom of the body to illuminate new insights.
A Human-Centered Design Approach
This approach puts people first, centering solutions around their connection with the people around them.
The Method: A Unique 4-Step Process
The process is bold, the payoff enormous.
1. DISCOVER
All organizations have relational styles as unique as fingerprints. Here we discover yours. This exploration of ways people communicate - how they relate or don’t - includes everyone from leaders to administrative assistants, even cleaning staff.
Next, we dig into your challenges. Not just surface issues, but the “why” beneath deeper, systemic problems. Are employees frustrated with internal communication? Is it a single manager or team member dragging you down? Is your workplace simply not fun?
2. THE SCHOOL OF CONNECTION
Most people have never studied communications basics, so it’s time to go back to school.
Did you know that true “dialogue” means to discover something neither side already knows?
During a conversation, have you ever asked “What type of conversation are we having right now - informational or emotional?”
While you may pose questions, have you ever asked whether you’re asking the right questions?
How do we “see” others free from stereotypes and negative assumptions?
How do we assume the best in others? See strengths instead of shortcomings?
In this school we explore the “Art of Possibility” and more:
The rules of engagement
Verbal vs. non-verbal communication
Dialogue
Storytelling
Spoken vs. written language
Listening
Improvisation
Neuroscience
3. CREATIVE SPARKS
This is where the magic happens.
Armed with new skills, we launch one or more new initiatives to resolve the concerns uncovered during your Discovery process. These are unique, custom solutions that spring directly from your team. Each focuses on heightening human connection - within your organization, or between organizations.
4. SUSTAINING THE NOTE
In this final step, we assess the success of each creative initiative.
What worked, what almost worked, and what failed? (Failures are great learning experiences.) Then it’s time to revise and relaunch. For each initiative, a “goodwill ambassador” within your organization is assigned that assures it will remain fresh and sustainable.
Results You Can Count On.
Matt’s empathy focused methods consistently deliver measurable improvements in:
Employee Satisfaction and Retention
Team Collaboration and Cohesion
Organizational Performance and Harmony
Your employees feel seen and valued.
Managers evolve into leaders that others want to follow.
We help create a happier workplace, and a stronger bottom line.
