WE CREATE WORKPLACE AND ORGANISATIONAL CULTURES IN WHICH PEOPLE THRIVE. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM THE FOUNDER. I have worked for decades with organisations, individuals, and communities on creating cultures in which people thrive. The most important thing I have learnt working with CEO’s and executives, customer interfacing people, those working in support, in mining, banking, charities, in religion and so on, is that it can take just one person to destroy all the work that goes into building great cultures and engaged people. The far-reaching negative impact of narcissistic or psychopathic behaviours, including bullying, manipulation, exploitation, fabrication, coercion, grooming, rumour creation, intimidation, and ‘gas lighting’, doesn’t just destabilise or harm organisational cultures and teams but destroys the lives of individuals. As a society we are not well-equipped to recognise, accept, or address destabilising, controlling, and polarising personalities, particularly as these people can also present as compelling and knowledgeable. I have spent years working with and studying these types of people and have connected with others around the world who have done the same, so that together we can provide services which assist with the creation of truly thriving cultures, environments, and communities. Dr Karen Mitchell, Founder and CEO I HAVE A STRONG BELIEF IN THE POWER OF INDIVIDUALS TO ACHIEVE EXTRAORDINARY RESULTS, GIVEN THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT, CONFIDENCE, AND CAPABILITY. I ALSO HAVE A GREAT PASSION FOR PEOPLE LEADING LIVES THAT THEY LOVE. OUR SERVICES. CREATING THRIVING CULTURES. CULTURE CHANGE AND REINVIGORATION. INCLUSIVENESS, WOMEN AND LEADERSHIP. ADDRESSING BLOCKERS TO THRIVING CULTURES. NARCISSISTS, PSYCHOPATHS AND DESTABLISERS. BULLYING, TOXIC, PREDATORY, AND COERCIVELY CONTROLLING BEHAVIOURS. CULTURE CHANGE AND REINVIGORATION. “Culture is so incredibly important because it is the foundation for all future innovation. People with passion can change the world.” Brian Chesky CEO Airbnb. “Create the kind of workplace and company culture that will attract great talent. If you hire brilliant people, they will make work feel more like play.” Richard Branson Entrepreneur. INCLUSIVENESS, WOMEN, AND LEADERSHIP. “Karen and the others that work with her at Kalmor have a highly sophisticated understanding and deep level of experience in the barriers to women’s corporate and career success and how these can be addressed. More importantly, Karen and her colleagues have excellent change management, facilitation, and coaching skills so their ability to impact attitudes and ultimately behaviours of people in organisations is exceptional. Their level of professionalism and sensitivity in working with others, including very senior people, in this somewhat political area, is outstanding. They also have a keen awareness of the need to link diversity-related issues to commercial outcomes. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kalmor to any organisation.” Group Managing Director Human Capital, Telecommunications. NARCISSISTS, PSYCHOPATHS, AND DESTABILISERS. “12% of corporate senior leadership displays a range of psychopathic traits, which means psychopathy is up to 12 times more common among senior management than among the general population.” “When some of the defining traits of psychopathy include egocentricity, predatoriness, recklessness, a lack of empathy, and a propensity for manipulation and exploitation, it doesn’t take a great leap of the imagination to see how a high percentage of unrecognized psychopathy in senior management could lead to all kinds of problems for organisations, their employees, their customers, and society at large - including billions of dollars of losses annually and reduced shareholder wealth.” Distinguished Professor Simon Croom University of San Diego. “More often than not, they are NOT murderers or rapists, burglars, or leaders of cults. They are people quietly endangering people in many different, constant, and not easily transparent ways.” M Scott Peck People of the Lie. BULLYING, TOXIC, PREDATORY, AND COERCIVELY CONTROLLING BEHAVIOURS. In a study of several thousand managers and employees exposed to toxic behaviours: 78% said their commitment to the organisation declined. 48% decreased their work effort, 66% said their performance declined. How Toxic Colleagues Erode Performance. Porath and Pearson. “I have encountered people who I believe went to the effort of gaining professional credentials to gain status and power which would enable them to abuse children without being subject to questioning by people who put their trust in them and held them in high esteem. For example, priests and teachers. I have witnessed these many times” Investigator, child sex abuse in the Catholic Church Karen Mitchell’s PhD. CLIENTS PAST AND PRESENT.

To be able to identify and recognise the predators in our midst is helping me of finally understand the hell I’ve gone through and how to make sure that I am NEFER EVER unwittingly preyed upon again.” “This researcher illuminates lived experiences many of us can’t verbalise well yet.” “Probably one of the most on point analysis of the narcissist I’ve ever seen.” “I wish I was reading all of your work 20 years ago. I had to scrounge for bits of information to make sense of my life and even then I couldn’t convince anyone of what I was going seeing. You have given me validation.” “Dr Karen Mitchell’s PhD work is groundbreaking. We need urgent societal change in the understanding of how predators work.” References and reads we love.
