I attended one of Annemarie’s workshops and was blown away by the simplicity of it all, and yet realised how unaware we are of the impact our senses have on the way we understand and interpret our environment. By gaining an understanding of this, we are able to identify how and why we react, behave or perform the way we do. We can then make adjustments where necessary, in order to perform at our best, whether it be at home or at work. Annemarie is extremely knowledgeable about the subject, has a wonderful way of imparting her knowledge and makes the information practical and personal. This is a subject that I believe everyone will benefit from as it impacts not only ourselves, but everyone we come into contact with. A truly worthwhile investment of time and money!

Annemarie Lombard has worked quite extensively with Nedbank Property Finance.   In 2009, our business, had gone through a restructuring  process as well as re-arrangement of seating etc.

Annemarie was asked to work with our business to create an understanding of synergies within our teams using Sensory Intelligence.

Each team within our business (total of 100 staff), completed a sensory profile questionnaire and then attended the Sensory workshop.  This has proven to be hugely successful and the feedback from our staff has been extremely positive.  The learning from these workshops and de-briefs have allowed us to create a safe, respectful, caring environment where we all feel  understood, seen and heard!!!

Thanks Annemarie!!!

Thank you very much for your help and for all your work in this field, I think people REALLY need work like yours to be as visible as possible. Sensory Intelligence makes the most 'sense' by far and it's effects are so very far reaching...

Annemarie has the natural ability to conceptualise theory and put it into practise. In not being a professional Coach only, but also an Expert on Sensory Intelligence, she has the advantage to practically understand the differences within working groups and the individuals within such groups. Various differences amongst individuals / teams within a particular work environment we as Leaders or Managers need to deal with on a daily basis, but not always understand, in order to cultivate the required results. Annemarie quietly listens, easily interprets and implements in order to meet our needs. A great experience not just for her, but everybody she engage with.

The workshop which we held with Annemarie on team sensory profiling was a real eye opener to a world which we are so much a part of and yet so unaware of. Her deft use of the data gleaned from our individual sensory profiles allowed us to understand exactly where we were as a team and how we could accentuate our team performance is ways which would be compatible with our profile. The spin-offs of improved relationships and a deeper understanding of each other, has benefited my team immensely and I would recommend team sensory profiling to any leader or manager interested in improving team effectiveness. We continue to work with Annemarie, as our team dynamics and members are constantly changing, as we believe that her work adds considerable value to the continued effectiveness of our team.

It was such an enlightening experience to understand more fully the effect that one's "own senses" have on your personal productivity and sense of well being in different environments.  I could see the value of this in understanding some of the problems encountered in learning groups.

Sensory Intelligence is a powerful process that taps into the often unseen and unexplored sensory skills that we have and turns them into powerful sources of better understanding and interpreting the world around us.

Annemarie facilitated a sensory intelligence team profiling session for our training and development team at the end of 2008. It has been an amazing eye opener to understand each member on such a unique and unconscious  level. We could identify and match each team member with regards to their team functions, what they contribute and what they are primitively driven to do best. It has also improved the way in which we operate as a team and the understanding of different behaviour and preferences. Ultimately the team can relate to each other on a different level and positively influence each other within their every day activities. The session was definitely worthwhile and I can recommend this experience to any team that would like to improve their overall team effectiveness, team awareness and team performance.

Working with Annemarie has been a truly rewarding experience. After 20 years in the industry I have attended countless workshops on personal development. Annemarie’s approach made such sense to me and her knowledge in her field is evident, she is a rare blend of talent plus humility and boundless energy and passion. The sensory profiling she conducted for me was hugely helpful and has already made  a big difference to how I engage with the world and my understanding of what I need to minimize my daily stress.I believe that everyone could benefit from Annemarie’s profiling whether as a leader, parent, an employee or a member of a team.

Annemarie Lombard facilitated a workshop for the top team of British American Tobacco South Africa. She did an excellent job on a rather new topic, namely Sensory Intelligence. She has a profound knowledge on the subject and has the ability to bring it across in an understandable way that makes business sense, more so each one of the participants could directly link the content to their day to day way of working. Key outcomes from the workshop were:
- An awareness and understanding amongst self and team members for the way in which each team member operates and his/her specific role in the team
- Integration and alignment of workshop content to team member's development plans which includes an individual sensory intelligence profile
- Implementation of very practical steps to enhance the quality of work/life integration/balance of team members
- Investigation of way to roll-out the sensory intelligence content and knowledge further to other teams in the organization – this was requested by the Top Team as a result of the workshop.
In summary, Annemarie is a world class expert on her subject and she has the ability to convey it in the most understandable and practical way. What she offers is extremely powerful to enhance the performance of individuals and teams.
