Trotec

Chris Rowe, a dedicated Marketing Executive at Trotec, was dealing with competing priorities from multiple managers, causing him to feel spread too thin. Despite his creative problem-solving skills, he often received stakeholder feedback late in the process, which delayed progress and impacted strategic alignment. Trotec’s Managing Director, Reece Moore, saw Chris’s potential and wanted to help him develop a more strategic mindset, enabling him to focus on core priorities and avoid getting bogged down in day-to-day tasks.

“The challenge was managing workload expectations, prioritising effectively, and engaging key stakeholders earlier to gain alignment before diving deep into projects.”

We designed a 90-Day Growth & Development Program to help Chris align his strategic thinking with his daily tasks, engage key stakeholders earlier, and achieve a healthier work-life balance. The program included:

• PRISM Brain Mapping: A neuroscience-based profiling tool to identify Chris’s behavioural wiring and clarify what energizes and de-energizes him at work.
• Vision Board Creation: Chris developed a vision board that broke down his goals and milestones into 30, 60, and 90-day targets to keep him focused on achieving his long-term purpose.
• Brain-Friendly Coaching Sessions: Four one-hour coaching sessions spaced over 90 days focused on creating a plan to meet his goals, explore options, and track progress in digestible, bite-sized steps.
• Time Management Strategies: Scheduling time for strategic priorities, known obstacles, and brain breaks to ensure that Chris remained energised and focused on what matters most.

The 90-Day program helped Chris develop new habits that supported his strategic goals and professional growth. Key elements included:

• PRISM Brain Mapping Insights: Chris learned when he performs at his best and what depletes his energy, allowing him to focus on high-priority tasks and strategic thinking.
• Vision Board Implementation: This tool helped Chris visualise his goals and milestones daily, enabling him to make better decisions on where to spend his time and energy.
• Improved Stakeholder Engagement: Chris shifted his approach by engaging stakeholders earlier in the process, gaining buy-in from the start, and ensuring smoother project execution.
• Work-Life Balance Improvements: Chris established a healthier balance between work and personal life, focusing on fitness, well-being, and maintaining energy levels throughout the day.

Chris’s experience in the 90-Day Growth & Development Program was transformative both professionally and personally. He appreciated the structured yet flexible nature of the program, which allowed him to apply new skills and turn them into habits. The vision board became an essential tool in keeping him focused on his goals, while the coaching sessions provided clarity and actionable insights.

“The vision board has been a game-changer. It allows me to visualise my goals first thing in the morning, and it helps me stay focused throughout the day. I’m now more confident and better equipped to balance my work and personal life, and I feel more energised and productive overall.”

Chris also highlighted how the REWIRE for SUCCESS book supported his learning journey, providing him with practical tips and insights to reinforce what he was learning in the program. He now refers back to sections of the book to overcome challenges and sharpen his skills as needed.
