values
Care, Respect, Creativity and Learning sit at the heart of everything at Knowing Self Knowing Others. These four values shape how Nia works and what she stands for as a leader, consultant and thinker. They show up in every interaction — from prioritising the wellbeing of others and treating people with dignity, to embracing innovative thinking and committing to continuous growth and learning. On this page you’ll find out what each value means in practice and how together they underpin KSKO’s mission to develop self-aware leaders who build kinder, more respectful and creative working relationships.
WORKSHOPS
If you have a leaders learning event or team away day planned, Nia can come along and deliver a dynamic workshop for you. Appealing to people who learn in different ways, Nia’s self-aware leadership workshop will give people to get up out of their seats, learn about self-awareness, share their thoughts and ideas and set objectives for future growth and development.
