Blue Tree Consulting

All organisations are like Blue Trees.

The roots are your values and purpose – what you are here to do, and how will you act.

Your roots anchor you, guide you, and support everything above ground.

The trunk of the Blue Tree is your leadership capability and behaviours. Giving strength, guidance and direction to everyone above in your organisation.

The lower boughs characterise your approach to people. Call it HR if you will, but we believe its much more than that. Its about how you behave toward your people, the environment that you create for them in which to perform and thrive and grow. Its about maximising their strengths and potential, its not about conditioning them to be some fit in the box corporate drone. And these are not tasks for HR alone, they are tasks for all leaders and managers in your organisation, along with all colleagues.

As we head into the leaf canopy of your Blue Tree we encounter your managers. Those who, through their people deliver performance, those who need to ensure that they are aligned to your organisation’s purpose, and that their people are too. Those who are the first port of call for feedback, for motivation, and for ensuring that behaviours are aligned to your values and purpose.

In your leaf canopy perhaps each leaf represents one of your people. Aligned to your purpose, values and objectives. Connected to each other, very closely or somewhat less so. But each one different. Unique. Creative and innovative.  With their own thoughts, voice and contribution. But acting in harmony with the rest of your organisation.

Stepping back from your Blue Tree, you can see the whole. An aligned organisation. Strong. Thriving and growing. All contributing to the whole. This is your organisational capability and culture.  This is also what your people and your customers see, feel and experience.

You may be asking why the tree is blue? Well, you don’t want to be the same as every other tree do you? You want to stand out, to be different. To be you.

Culture is an often thrown around word.  We think of it as the way things are done around here, how people think and feel, and what its like to work here, to work with us, and to be a customer of ours.

So, it should flow from your purpose and values and be seen at all touch points, consistently.

Where you have lost your connection to your sense of purpose and your values, where your leadership is not ensuring that everyone's efforts and behaviours are aligned, then you have chaos, poor service, sub cultures, loss of productivity and the obvious negative impacts on the bottom line and your reputation.

If you are suffering from any of these problems, then we can help.

Lisa Clifford Limited

I’m Lisa Clifford. Internationally certified firewalk & empowerment master trainer, global speaker & coach.

What am I all about?

I love empowering people to step into their true and magnificent potential where they can live their life with the most happiness and heartfelt joy. Irrespective whether this is their business or personal life. Living free of restrictions or limitations and open to anything.

What led me here?

In 2004, I started to question my direction and my dissatisfaction with my life.  I was in a good and highly paid Sales Leadership job, responsible for £40m with a successful team but then a question I saw in a book stopped me in my tracks:  “what would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?” I had an epiphany and immediately began considering a bigger and more fulfilled life… and that’s where my journey into personal development began, I left that highly paid job and the next month I began with my coach training, then hypnosis, Anthony Robbins’ Unlimited Power Weekend, followed by NLP with Paul McKenna & Richard Bandler. Then, in 2008 my curiosity about human potential and the rapidity of personal growth witnessed in firewalking, brought me to begin my training. On the surface, I was #winningatlife, learning tools and techniques to use on other people and enjoying the process myself.

However, the dissatisfaction and occasional but regular bumps in the road started to emerge as unfinished and buried self-doubt and personal self-loathing, from a destructive, dysfunctional, and grief-filled family history.  I had been hiding it, whilst living as the outwardly confident and happy person I appeared to be.  I was putting on a relentless & tiresome show, to continue to fight my way into success in a way that no one could doubt me. I became suddenly mindful that I was full of self-loathing, doubt, and sabotage. I was hiding damaging patterns of behaviour stemming from an unhealed childhood of immense pain, abandonment, rejection, emotional and sometimes physical abuse. The Firewalk Training blew my mind and heart wide open and the much-needed and deserved healing, began.

From this point forward, my courses and training took on a direction, feeling, style and intensity of authenticity that touched the lives of those who trained with me in ways that I could never have imagined.  This mindfulness that I had emerged from, changed my own life and impacted every course and training I delivered. The cathartic change that occurred within me that helped me to emerge from my pain and allowed me to become who I have become is the constant reminder that people can overcome great hardships.

My belief is that it was always my purpose to empower people and my own unique journey was the catalyst which invited me to the fire, for which I am so grateful for my childhood.

I am honoured to have coached and led empowerment events for; some of the largest hotel chains in the world; solicitors; accountants; banks: construction companies and The UK Ministry Of Defence. Companies like:

• Best Western
• The Police
• Intercontinental Hotel Group
• Siemens
• BBC
• ITV  

For the MOD, I ran a leadership programme including a firewalk for over 100 Army officers in conjunction with the UK’s prestigious Sandhurst Army Officer Training Academy.  All of these officers had just returned from deployment in Afghanistan. I believe it’s my purpose and mission to release people from their limitations, so they can stand in their power and dare to believe in living their big and beautiful life.

Personal matters of the heart are that I love, love, love dogs, mountain walking and the fire.

Oxmoor Care Consultancy

With all the medical advances made over the years, the good news is that we are all living longer these days. The bad news is that we are, as a result, having to live with various conditions towards the end of our lives for longer than we did in the past. And worse still, we are having to pay more and more for our care when the time comes. 

So planning ahead is vitally important – whether, for example, putting in place Lasting Powers of Attorney (Property & Financial Affairs and Health & Welfare) or ensuring that financial resources are available to fund long-term care.

Like it or not, many of us will need some form of care in the later stages of our lives. If we are fortunate, this may be provided by a family member, but at some point that may no longer be possible.

Often the solution can be domiciliary care – meaning you will be able stay at home, while receiving external support. This could range from one visit per week right through to 24/7 ‘live in’ care. Alternatively, the solution may be sheltered accommodation or assisted living. While for others, the best option might be a care home – for example, if nursing care is required or if more advanced dementia is involved.

Whatever the need, Oxmoor Care Consultancy can help across a multitude of situations. For example:

• Finding a suitable care home

• Advising on the pros and cons of the various care options available – eg care home vs care at home vs assisted living

• Helping to ensure that the quality of care being provided is matching up to the agreed, required standard

• Providing information on all the costs associated with specific care options

• Helping to explore and to secure all the funding options which may be available

• Looking at all the available care options associated with staying in your own home

• Advising on Continuing Healthcare – eg whether you are likely to qualify for free care, and how to go about securing it.

• Carrying out mental capacity assessments 

• Helping with specific advice where dementia is involved

• Finding suitable respite care

• Helping to create a funeral plan

• Imagine if you had all the confidence in the world to do what you want to do and be what you want. How would that feel?
