Leaderships & Team Effectiveness Programmes

The TICTS (Hutchinson Port of Dar es Salaam) Finance Management team was supported through the COVID pandemic and beyond:

During the times that COVID-19 was heavily impacting Tanzania, the TICTS Finance Management Team continued working from the office. Lumen’s Certified Coaches supported the employees in managing stress with self and others caused by the implications of COVID at home and in the workspace.

Through individual and team coaching using the approach of Gallup CliftonStrengths® (former StrengthsFinder®) the team members deepened their awareness of self and others. This included recognising triggers of stress and ways to manage stress, with yourself, within the Management Team and with the direct reports.

 

XSML Capital (impact investor IN SSA), shared the following:

“We have been working with Lumen since 2021 as we are growing our team and venture into new African markets. Working in different countries and cultures, the programme with Lumen focuses on improving awareness of self and others using the Insights Discovery® (‘Colour Energies’) approach. We see that our teams gained techniques and skills to redirect and finetune personal communication styles to ‘get things done’ and more effectively manage and influence others.”

Over the years, Lumen has been facilitating training, individual and team coaching, both in person (in Uganda and Angola) and online. To support sustainable improvement in leadership and team effectiveness Lumen integrated the Colour Energies in the XSML HR Policies, Performance Management System and Competency Framework. This guides managers and employees in a pragmatic way towards desired, highly effective behaviours and communication styles. As indicated by one of the country managers “With the insights gained, I improved my people management skills leading to better results.”

Lumen Professional Coaches are certified in the globally renowned methodologies of Gallup CliftonStrengths®️ (former StrengthsFinder®️) and Insights Discovery®️ (the ‘Colour Energies’), supporting individuals and teams improving cooperation and performance.
