Turner Felix Associates

Turner Felix offer mentoring advice and guidance to Boards, Chairs and Chief Executives and also career counseling to executives in transition. Board Advisory The effectiveness of the Board of any organisation can be crucial to its success. Yet often Boards are plagued by variable competence of its members, personality conflicts, focus on non-critical issues and inappropriate interference with the operations and responsibilities of the Executive. Turner Felix conducts soundings within the Board and Executive Committee and presents conclusions as to how Board performance may be improved. The evaluation process is consultative and can lead to recommendations concerning the composition of the Board, its operating parameters and structure. Executive Mentoring Chairs, Chief Executives and Senior Executives of modern organisations face unprecedented challenges in their complex and often ambiguous roles. Many of these challenges are people and leadership centred and can prove to be intractable, personally demanding and stressful. Advice and support are not easily or appropriately garnered from colleagues, partners or friends. As trusted advisors our aim is to listen and provide a confidential sounding board to address such challenges. We offer a ‘release valve’ and guidance to highly pressured people, which can contribute to the quality of their decision-making, relationship management and success. Regarded as ‘safe space’ by clients, Turner Felix agrees an agenda of issues, both professional and personal, on which to focus. Career Counselling Turner Felix Associates is able to offer advice and guidance to individual executives who are specifically engaged in planning a career move. The advice includes assessment of background, skills and experience and identification of differentiating characteristics that will enable the executive to present themselves positively to potential employers and partners.
