It’s important to connect with your coach or facilitator, great things happen when personal connections are made. So here is a little bit about BALANCED FOCUS CONSULTING and the founder and Director Mandy Davies.
Mandy is a qualified coach and facilitator who has a Masters in Human Resources, a Degree in Health Sciences, a Diploma in Positive Psychology and Wellbeing, and is an accredited in various development tools.
As owner of three businesses she understands governance, board responsibilities and the drivers of company performance. Mandy’s own balanced focus has resulted in her holding senior HR positions, working with CEOs and senior leadership teams to create transformational change, whilst also creating her version of a life well lived.
A curiosity for life has fuelled Mandy’s passion for travel and adventure. Her Travel experiences have been wide and varied and have included: trekking in Nepal, driving a rickshaw 1000 km across southern India without a map, diving with whale sharks in Mexico, exploring Cambodia by scooter, and cruising around Cuba in 1959 Chevy.
Mandy works across New Zealand, Australia and Asia, having lived and worked in different countries she appreciates the cultural subtleties of each place.
“We’ve made strong progress as a Lead Team in the 12 months we’ve worked with Mandy, it’s been a really good investment of our time and effort. What I liked about Mandy’s approach was that she sought to understand our challenge deeply before developing a customised programme that met our needs, and that flexibility shone through in our group sessions where she was able to seamlessly adapt content depending on what was happening in the room. Her approach and facilitation style meant we were able to build trust within the group quickly.”

“Mandy is authentic, empathetic, fun, thought provoking and yet challenging, it is these traits that set her apart from other coaches. Mandy has been a fantastic coach to me over the last couple of years. She has provided strategic and thought provoking guidance and advice. Allowing me to develop a creative focus on my goals beyond just a logical linear approach. This allows me freedom to think outside of the box, challenges my normal thinking on any given matter and provides a level of excitement about undertaking actionable steps towards each goal. She has a humble, non-judgemental and approachable style, which means that it’s easy to open up and share things with her that maybe you wouldn’t in other scenarios.”

Keeping abreast of market trends, understanding business and commercial imperatives, and turning design into best-fit implementation, is what Mandy does very well.”
