Christelle Cornet,
facilitator of humanity at work
and founder of cHc.
cHc stands for « we communicate with humanity in our communities ».
I believe in ubuntu. Ubuntu is an African word meaning ‘humanity towards others’. It also means ‘I am what I am because of who we all are’.
I’ve often noticed a lack of compassion in our companies. They can appear soulless and sometimes seem to be without any humanity. They believe this is as necessary to make profits and keep shareholders happy. People are referred to as human capital, human resources and assets. These terms can sound demeaning, without any humanity. If people are assets, then why do they (their salaries) sit on the liabilities side of the balance sheet? Do your leaders treat people like assets or liabilities?
All companies want to retain talent and inspire their people to act so they can get results. How can they do this? Certainly not with words alone. Acting with humanity inspires people.
While I feel strongly about humanity, I am conscious having myself acted at times in a less « humane » approach. I regret this. Work and life experiences have made me evolve towards a more balanced leader and I now want to share and help others when time is right for them.
I’ve created cHc to assist leaders to push their businesses towards adopting the kind of mindset we see in communities. I’m constantly on the lookout for modern practices that suit our 21st century business realities and appeal to the younger generations. I’m keen to help others manage conflicts, whilst maintaining the creative tension necessary for innovation. I strongly believe change starts with oneself and not with changing others.
I deepen my understanding of human beings and their interactions by travelling and appreciating diversity; by working with the Enneagram and studying complex negotiations. With these two tools, next to some others, I feel well equipped to be a change catalyst.
My mission : your success is my priority
I focus on enhancing organisational cultures, leadership development, people strategies and complex negotiations. Within each area of expertise, I act as a trusted business adviser and deliver tailor-made interventions to meet your needs and those of your people.
If you believe that you achieve success through your people; if you believe that change starts with each individual (including yourself); if you believe your business will only grow if you can overcome a specific organisational challenge, then…
