So Stronger Humans Coaching and Consulting Limited has clocked up 3 years of creating, collaborating & coaching this week so it felt somewhat fortuitous whilst having a coffee prior to delivering a session on Tuesday that I found myself staring at an advert for the recent ‘Birmingham Design Festival’. On it were these rules that originated when Corita Kent (a 1960’s artist & social justice campaigner) asked her students to collectively reimagine what a learning environment could be – meant for Art students but resonated with someone whose past three years have involved much creating, often on a blank canvas!
When you set up a business you’ll hear the words ‘network’, ‘proposition’, ‘pitch’ amongst others…& for good reason – but I would offer you the four rules highlighted. Try to live by these & you’ll not go far wrong.
To those who have trusted me to work with them & their organisations – I thank you…to those who have given me support & encouragement – I would not have got this far without you…& to those doing similar – I see you. Go for it – it’ll be more than worth it.
I am an Executive Coach, leadership development & business consultant with more than 25 years’ experience in senior leadership roles across public, private, charitable & member owned organisations, with 10 years at Board level. An inspirational leader with strengths in strategic planning, change management, developing talent & building successful teams.
I have a proven track record of delivering sustainable change with and through others that delivers improved outcomes and engagement for both employees and customers.
Somewhere around the turn of the century, the company I worked for rolled out a cultural change programme. The chosen approach? Take the senior leaders away, put us in a Teepee for a few days, & work through the principles…
As many of you sit down with your teams over the coming weeks to review what has gone well, what needs to improve & where the focus should lie in the year ahead it is worth considering as you do…
