Best investment

Sean managed to truly engage the WRF team, which is for a topic as “dry” as the Log Frame matrix an amazing achievement. He did so by inviting them to play, involving them, listening to them, and together building new skills. It was great fun, the lessons learnt priceless, best investment in enhancing our team capabilities so far. And on top of that he is a real nice guy, I wish he lived closer so we could have some occasional beers together! Highly recommended!

Our Vision Came to Life

Sean and I worked together a number of years ago when we wanted to evoke change in the Leadership Team at the time. Sean came highly recommended and lived up to all I had heard of him. We started by establishing a common vision and ran a "creating a vision" workshop which resulted in a definition we all agreed upon. We later communicated this to the entire faculty and found that the vision resonated with them as much as it had with the Leadership Team.  Sean then began working with 100 employees in small groups and the vision started spreading and coming to life. The work we did together was powerful and managed to refocus a large staff on what was important to all of us at the time. I can highly recommend Sean as a coach and in helping transform a vision from words on a poster to becoming lived by all in an organization

A valuable learning experience

In the past few years, the Ivoclar Vivadent IT department has undergone enormous changes that have impacted the way we work. We have moved from a system based on local engineers to a “follow-the-sun” concept with virtual, geographically dispersed teams around the globe. However, the virtual and remote collaboration of people from different cultures and across time zones doesn’t come without challenges. Mr Bonnes’ expertise and knowledge in this field has contributed to further develop the team spirit and build trust among our international, virtual team of IT engineers. He expertly conducted an outstanding workshop and delivered a valuable learning experience for all of us.

A Person You Can Rely on

It was a great experience for me to work with Sean for more than 7 years. He has sound understanding of business and people paired with strong solution driven mind-set. His way of clear communication and value adding feedback supported me and our team strongly during several international firestop academies we did together. I highly appreciated his Sherpa role during our team building trainings over 2 years. His integrity and his huge courage make him the person you can rely on.

— Michael Leitner, Senior Director R&D
CPG Europe

Internationally experienced

We sought an internationally experienced and proven sales professional with expertise in the high-end, capital goods sector for our annual re-seller sales meeting. Eighty participants from more than 30 different countries attended and Sean Bonnes was able to effectively combine sales theory with our specific market in an exciting and compelling way. He expertly facilitated the group work that revealed some valuable key learnings.

Zünd Systemtechnik AG

Recruiting far more professionally

It was after we consulted with Mr Bonnes that it became clear that our greatest and most urgent issue was selecting the best people for open positions within our fast growing, medium-sized energy business. Mr Bonnes quickly designed and delivered a hands-on Interviewing & Recruitment workshop to the recruiting managers. As a result they are now interviewing far more professionally and we have recently recruited motivated and high calibre candidates who fit the job profiles and company culture significantly better than before. We look forward to working with Peregrine Consulting and in particular Mr Bonnes to bring our business forward in the future.

— Michael Grabherr, CEO
Mons Holdings AG

A measurable improvement

A quick grasp of my business and great understanding of my people combined with an ability to zero in on the critical issues, meant that Sean was able to develop and deliver bespoke workshops to my Development, Supply Chain and Leadership teams that led to a measurable improvement in employee and customer satisfaction.

Walk 'n' Talk with Sean


Let's Walk 'n' Talk - Episode 6 - Conflict Management

/ by Sean Bonnes

Conflict is part of our lives each day. Situations will arise where someone else's concerns will be different to ours. We are not speaking here about something dangerous and destructive, rather differences of opinions that can be handled constructively to achieve an outcome that is good for all parties. Some are better than others at handling conflict.

Rather than falling into our habitual way of dealing with conflict, having time to think, and then choosing a conflict mode that suits the situation and the other person’s style, is a massive help in arriving at a better, more productive and constructive outcome.

Knowing that you have choices in a conflict, and then exercising the right choice, enable you to take control in a conflict situation, to everyone's advantage. It may sound like a cliche, but win-win is usually the best outcome.

Please feel free to reach out to me should. you wish to discuss this interesting topic and share experiences and tools that have helped you or could help you.


Let's Walk 'n' Talk - Episode 5 - Situational Leadership

/ by Sean Bonnes

At its core, leadership is essentially a shared influence process, working with your people, empowering them to accomplish their goals and the goals of the organisation.

The situational leadership model is very helpful to leaders and their teams in getting the job done and obtaining results. Situational leadership is something you do with people, not too them and demonstrates how essential it is for a leader to understand where her/his people are in terms of their competence in accomplishing a certain task and their attitude, commitment and feelings.

The beauty of this tool is in its simplicity and ease of implementation. Once you get it, you've got it! And it then simply takes a little bit of practice to master. The result are spectacular and  you will see an immediate impact on the energy, creativity and resourcefulness of your team.

If you'd like to understand the model better or learn about how it could help you in being more effective as a leader, please don't hesitate to reach out to me for a conversation. I'd love to hear from you. Let's speak soon.


Let's Walk 'n' Talk - Episode 4 - Recruitment/CARD

/ by Sean Bonnes

As a successful leader, you bring enormous value to your organization by recruiting and developing new people in your team. This is a weighty responsibility, not to be taken lightly and we cannot afford to rely on a "belly feeling" in our selection process as once may have been common.

The recruitment area is also sensitive in terms of discrimination and processes are required to remove bias. During the recruitment process we need to establish which candidate is the best cultural and competence fit for the organization and role and cannot afford to compromise. Mistakes can be extremely costly and are often way in excess of the budgeted annual salary for the open position, not to mention other collateral damage.

As a new or experienced leader, being trained in effective recruiting is not an option. If you would like more information I would be delighted to hear from you and would welcome the opportunity to assist you and your fellow leaders in supporting your organizations efforts to attract and retain great talent.
