Relationships and Communication - key factors in life and transition

With over 20+ years commercial experience, thousands of hours worked and people/professionals met, having been around long enough to see theories re-hashed and re-formed (but often saying the same thing as their predecessor), I’ve concluded, that to excel in work and life in general, it all comes down to relationships and communication.

Resilience - TED talk

As we transition into a new Season and for many of us back to a more full diary, and other people’s schedules, resilience as a need can often be front and centre!

Media and Public Speaking

I feel really lucky that I regularly get the chance to comment on pertinent issues in the media, and to speak with organisations and community groups alike.

Lughnasadh - a time to celebrate and nurture community

So often when we take stock of ancient traditions, there can be a lot to learn. Even in these modern times. And this is certainly the case for Lughnasa, the ancient Celtic festival!

Me and Organisations - the new future of work

Anyone who knows me, knows that I get so excited about working with organisations and the people in them! Yet over the last while I have felt unaligned with the methods I have seen used in the past, and as such I wanted to dig deep and create some new thinking that I believe will support the future of work.

"One of the most comprehensive employee mental health studies today"

Thrilled to have had my views included in what has been deemed the “most comprehensive employee mental health study to date”.

What would it be like to get out of the box?

So many people that I meet are stuck. No matter whether I meet them in a Boardroom or out in the Community, some way or other they are stuck. In a box, not of their own making.

Coaching - what does it really mean?

Coaching is a term much bandied about, sometimes appopriately, sometimes not. As a core pillar of what I do, and a foundational pillar of my how, I wanted to debunk some of the noise out there, and explain my approach and why it works so well!

Why (and how) should anyone be Lead by you?

The clients that I work with in Leadership development, often say that they come to me because of my approach as a Practitioner, rather than an Academic in this space. While of course there is huge value to be had in reading the academic insights, in the real world, they are only really useful when they can be practically applied.

What kind of Leader are you anyway?

There is no doubt that now more than ever, the World needs strong Leaders. Leaders that are connected to themselves, and to their purpose. So many of the Leaders that I see are connected to neither! And so, as with all my work with the “inside out model”, we start with them on a personal level, before moving on to their professional or wider purpose.

Organisational Culture - a how-to

When I’m partnering with an organisation in defining and rolling out a culture that is relevant and empowering to their business, my first port of call is always to check in with my stakeholder, as to how they view themselves, and their own needs. Their own personal culture, so to speak. See my last blog post!

Have you ever considered your Personal Culture?

Culture simply means “how we do things around here”, and it’s something I have long supported my client organisations with defining and rolling out. One of the foundational aspects of this work however, often begins with them, on a personal level. How do they like to be treated? What do they value? What are their values? We often need to begin this more personal focused work first, before throwing it open to the wider team or organisation, as a secondary activity. (More on that in the next blog post).

How to balance Strategic Delivery and Individual/Team Career Goals

Through my work in the Talent space with organisations, this is a topic that comes up again and again. In fact, it comes up in my Culture work, Leadership development, Wellbeing, Change, and Coaching work too, come to think of it! Why? Because it is a foundational practice for effective, synergistic management, and it confuses so many – on all sides!

Are full-time permanent contracts as future proof as they once might have been?

The global tech workforce have all been reeling from rounds of redundancies and layoffs, and the same can be said of other sectors at other times of our commercial evolution. Two generations ago, a permanent pensionable job was the holy grail.
