Hi, I am Karl Perry.

We help companies find the synergy between three main interests: Commercial Responsibility, Customer Value and a Constructive Culture.

I founded YourThinkingCoach and its Community of Practitioners to support sustainable organisational performance.

Think of us as like having a professional sports coach and imagine us as the basketball coach on the side of the court helping players and the team maximise their performance.

The 1992 United States men’s Olympic basketball team, nicknamed the “Dream Team”, was once described as “the greatest collection of basketball talent on the planet”. Michael Jordan described it differently. He described them as having the best harmony.

We are facilitators that help create more harmony.

Through our 3Cs Model and the High Performance through Engagement Strategy (HPtE Strategy®) we support clients with strategic guidance, facilitation of complex problem solving, conflict resolution and leadership development. Our proprietary coaching programmes MYMindset®, MYLeadership® and MYCoaching® are safe, fast and proven ways to Master Your Mindset, Leadership or Coaching capability.

And, we are experts in Interest-Based Problem-Solving and Negotiations.

If you are looking for a business consultant, coach or facilitator passionate about helping companies find new levels of innovation and performance that comes with a well-tested and customisable suite of programmes, strategies and services, then you are in the right place.

We will help you and your team achieve greater harmony, higher performance and ultimately more prosperity.

At the 1992 Summer Olympics held in Barcelona, the “Dream team” defeated its opponents by an average of 44 points en route to the gold medal against Croatia.

Harmony!

Performance!!

44 points!!!

When you are ready, reach out. We welcome the opportunity to be of service to you.

Best,

Karl.
