We select our Associates using three main criteria:
- Alignment with our values
- Skills and experience - most Associates are former leaders in commerce and industry, qualified psychologists or experienced leadership consultants, and we also use professional actors and musicians.
- Approach and fit with our methodology - we always work with Associates initially to make sure they deliver the Artesian approach to our clients. Our on boarding process now includes a facilitator development programme, offered to new Associates.
We can offer facilitators and coaches in most regions of the world, who work in many different languages.
We understand that our work involves building high trust, credible relationships very quickly, and that matching our associates with our clients is a key part of our success. We involve our clients in this process, and work with them to understand who will be the best fit for their organisation and their needs.
