Meet iMA Practitioner Tanya Awad Ghorra Lebanon

 I come from a media background, with an MBA in journalism (Paris II ). I was a reporter for years, for several TV stations, terrestrial and satellite in Lebanon, and the Middle-East, covering stories of war, people, politics, entertainment, social... , from live coverage under bombshells to TV shows concept development.

In 22 years, I wandered through all departments and fields related to radio and TV. From animation on FM, to live coverage, TV game shows, news gathering and producing, managing reporters and news coverage, TV production, research, editing...

I’ve learned about almost every department in this field, and worked myself in many of them. I have an extensive experience in advertising since I work as a voice over talent and a copywriter too. Translation became also a part of my work since I speak and write in Arabic, French and English.

   Through these years, I’ve learned the importance, the tricks and the traps of communication.

    My humble experience in my country Lebanon and in the Arab world, made me realize how little we know about communication. Mass communication might be the 21^st century essential tool, still, communicating with others is lacking more than ever.

    Being an activist in my country, put me few years ago on the path of a new non-violent university (AUNOHR), where I was lucky enough to be among the 73 first professionals in the MENA region, to get an MBA in the major I chose: Non-Violent Education and Conflict resolution.

Quickly, I found myself shifting towards this new field, and with my background, I found what I was looking for in NVC (Non-Violent Communication).  I became a trainer, and shared my experience and knowledge with many. I worked with children in school, with young activists, with international activists in peace building.

  Conflict resolution, mediation, peace building...it all need good communication skills, we are the only speaking conscious creatures, why not make a good use of what we have? We often speak, and rarely communicate, especially when needed.

    Through iMA High, I discovered the importance of colors in order to better know the person we want to deal with. It is a simple yet effective way to better understand each others and resolve our conflicts in a peaceful way.

    In NVC we try to build bridges, and iMA High goes the same way. It’s all about empathy, compassion, better understanding... simple natural tools we have but for some reason don’t use as often as we should.

    iMA High is a peace tool, to a better communication, and for conflict resolution. If we know what color are the others, we understand them better, we know what they expect, how they expect, what stresses them, what are their needs.

In NVC, we work to become good observers, good listeners, with empathy, in other words, NVC and iMA go together if we want to build a peaceful environment to live in, be it work, home, with colleagues, friends, family, or opponents.

Meet iMA Practitioner Brenda Hale

I am proud of being an accredited executive coach, hugely experienced in the Project profession, deeply immersed in the latest thinking on NeuroScience and all the advantages it can bring to people, teams and organisations. Comfortable working with complexity and theory I am known for the passion and belief I bring to developing peoples’ ability to accelerate their performance and achieve the best they are capable of. I do my best to approach everyone with the sentiment that I hold as my guiding principle “I’ve never met anyone who wants to do a bad job”.
Constantly looking for how to help organisations and teams engage their people and increase performance, my objective is to support people to feel connected and consequently be more successful. I have found over many years of working in this field that so many processes offer great insights only to disappoint, precisely because they are overly complex and never get translated into action. Approaching iMA with scepticism and asking if it is not too simple, I have been delighted to see how the simplicity encourages people to adopt the thinking, adapt the way they are behaving, invite others to join them and feel more in control of not just their work but their lives.
In a hugely enjoyable and successful career I have managed many large projects and programmes in the IT industry and led the Community of Practise for project and programme managers in Syntegra. I am now delighted to be working with a Project Consortium of specialist consultancies and industry expert project professionals who are asking the question, “Is your Organisation fit for your projects?”. We can see how iMA fits in providing a fast, effective, proven mechanism for engaging everyone in a team. Since engaged people are the greatest indicator of project success we have become strong supporters. This consortium is now working with Kingston University to create a brand new MSc in “Organisational Project Management”.

Frequently asked to write articles and give presentations, I recently received feedback from an event for Fujitsu that “she really has a good grasp on the unique leadership challenges in the Project and Programme Management space and can offer much more than your average leadership guru”.
I work closely with Prof Paul Brown on a number of initiatives designed to find ways to utilise the latest NeuroScience for the benefit of leaders. James Knight and I are excited about the number of opportunities we can see to utilise my experience of this field to develop further this fascinatingly useful language of iMA.
Current/recent clients include CEO’s, Directors, Vice Presidents, Senior Managers, Project Leaders and various teams in such organisations as APM, BT, Communisis, Composite, County Council, CSA, ENRC, Merrill Lynch, Network Rail, PA, NHS, Visa.
BA Hons English, MSc Gestalt Psychotherapy, Supervisor of Coaches and Consultants qualification, APECS accredited Executive Coach.

Meet iMA Practitioner Carole Gallant

“Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities - that's training or instruction - but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed.”  Sir Thomas More

My name is Carole Gallant and I am the founder of create a future, an education company whose mission is to enable people of all ages to maximise their potential and live richer, fuller lives. We do this by helping people develop the skills and behaviours they need to in order to thrive in the digital age.
I gained my Bachelor of Education degree and qualified as a Science Teacher, but started my career working with the United Nations in Vienna as a scientist and statistician. Since then I have worked for over 25 years in education, developing my personal interest in why and how people learn and the factors that influence success in education.

I founded create a future in 2001 as a vehicle through which the courses and programmes that we developed could be delivered to a wider range of people. We have developed the UK's first academic skills coaching course (In SHAPE) within which we use a range of profiling systems to help students understand their personal learning and thinking styles.
Since 2001, we have worked with just over 600,000 students and in any one year engage with around 400 schools providing workshops, award schemes, clubs and one-to-one coaching/training.
A great deal of our work is with teens who particularly struggle with communications, which initially attracted me to iMA.
I became an iMA Practitioner, because I recognise the value that iMA offers as a fast simple and systematic way of identifying a students’ learning style. iMA will help us in our work in helping students “learn to learn” and be successful.
In addition to helping facilitate the learning process, iMA also strengthens relationships between teachers and students, provides self understanding to support more effective teaching and learning, boosts moral, and enhances co-operation.
