Objective advice and observations for your business.

Our objective review of your business be conducted, recorded and presented to you with recommendations on areas of efficiency and areas to focus on improving. Our reviews include a complete audit of internal strategies, processes, policies, procedures, team structures and their effectiveness. 

Our observations of each business in its current state allows us to consider every element to objectively suggest best practice strategies and initiatives that are individually designed to achieve the businesses desired outcomes. 

Rather than creating over engineered processes, policies and procedures that merely exist because businesses think they “should” have them, we audit and present you with options to achieve your objectives and ensure every process and tool adds value to all that use them to further propel your business forward to achieve sustainable success.

We conduct Culture Audits and Productivity Audits through our objective and independent observations that provide easy to implement recommendations to improve your culture and unlock the inherent potential in your team.

“As a leader, I’ve gained a huge amount of insight into individuals in my team that have not ‘made sense’ to what’s been holding them back- that’s now clear to me. See you again for more in 2020!”

What it means to be an Alignment Consultant at Mirrored Horizons

We are Alignment Consultants operating in the space traditionally referred to as Human Resources or People and Culture. Our difference is that everything we do is founded in Positive Psychology and designed for simplicity with the business’s operations/success at the front of our decision making instead of creating bureaucratic processes that merely exist because businesses think they “should” to have them.

How do you empower yourself and others to get the best out of everyone?
How do you empower yourself and others to get the best out of everyone?

The reality is, it’s a very simple answer yet we continue to see it slip to the bottom of personal and business priority lists when in all actuality, it should be placed at the very top. With the help of our Alignment Workshop, we walked one of our partners through how to embrace empowerment and demonstrated how a small modification can have a profound impact.

Helping you through the job application process.
Helping you through the job application process.

We created this short video to help those in search of a job in these uncertain times. We were recently appointed to help one of our clients recruit for a part-time position in the outer suburbs of Melbourne and we were inundated with applications.

From where I've been, to where I am now.
From where I've been, to where I am now.

What is it like to look at yourself in the mirror and not like who you are becoming? I can tell you. Just a little over 12 months ago I was working in an environment where I sacrificed more than just my happiness. I sacrificed who I was and who I wanted to be. It was a gradual slip into the murky waters of compromising my values and undertaking work that no longer filled me with pride and fulfilment. I became the ‘anti-Emmaline.’ A paradoxical version of myself whom co-workers knew to be me, but someone I certainly didn’t recognise. I wasn’t comfortable in my own skin.

Wading our way through the 2020 small business waters…

We’re wading our way through the 2020 small business waters the best we know how to. Our blog discusses the current climate of uncertainty and our approach as a small business.

Mirrored Horizons, like many other small businesses, have undoubtedly shared in a tumultuous start to the year. As a new service-based business, we have felt the impacts of these uncertain times and the flow-on effects to not only the economy but to people’s social and behavioural no

Empowerment, what businesses can expect when it’s embraced versus abandoned!
Empowerment, what businesses can expect when it’s embraced versus abandoned!

Through Mirrored Horizons’ work this year, it has been often liberating and sometimes concerning when we have seen empowerment embraced and when we have seen it abandoned in business environments. The presence of empowerment is often the difference between maintaining successful relationships, results, and practices within business or diving headfirst into a pit of distrust, constant questioning and a lack of productivity.

Gratitude is a superpower!
Gratitude is a superpower!

 

There is no doubt that we have all had varying experiences of being told as children to be “thankful for what you have.” The question is, have we ever really paid close enough attention to the impact it can have over our mindset and truly appreciating its power?

Saturday the 21st of September, 2019 is world gratitude day. Mirrored Horizons saw this as the perfect opportunity to explore the power of gratitude and how it has helped shape our business to date.
