This month our Collective conversations will be anchored by the theme of people and leadership. ⚓️

So, allow us to kick off with a question for the room using a nautical analogy - when it comes to successfully leading a business and/or a team across the sometimes stormy seas of SME operation, what's the crux?

1. Building and maintaining the ship.
2. Bringing together, motivating, and supporting a crew to sail with you.
3. Plotting a route and steering the ship.

Or is it all of the above, something else entirely...?

Our aim by the end of August is to be better informed than we are today, but we're expecting some wet feet along the way. 🌊

Maverick.

You're thinking Top Gun, right? Well, stand down Mr. Cruise, there's another narrative in town.

Back in the 1800s, a fella named Samuel Augustus Maverick rolled into cowboy central AKA Texas, USA. Fresh outta law school, Sam put down some roots, became a big-shot landowner, and even played mayor of San Antonio.

At one point he acquired some cattle as a debt payment, but didn't really care for the whole ranching gig, so let them roam free, living their best cow lives. Unlike other ranchers around those parts who all branded their cows with hot irons to claim ownership, Sam was like "nah" - he figured any unbranded cows were obviously his. 🐄

Thus, the term "maverick" first entered the conversation to describe an unbranded calf, before evolving over time to describe anyone too independently-minded, too against-the-grain, to stick to the standard script. Someone who walks their own path, just like ol' mate Sam - maverick by name and by nature.

Convoy Collective was built for exactly those kind of thinkers and doers, who want to grow their business in a way that may not be 100% conventional, which is why we describe it as "where mavericks meet".

See some of yourself reflected in those Aviators? Talk to us, we'd love to hear your story. 🕶

Unlike some of our office jokes, hearing about the unique sense of connection and community Convoy Collective members are experiencing never gets old.

Life as a SME founder or leader IS lonely at times, so we appreciate your contribution to flipping it the bird Bek Drayton, don't go changin'!

Our new website is live.

On it, we cover off all the core components that Convoy Collective is bringing together for our members in the name of business done different and those unique partnerships and opportunities they're seeking as founders and leaders of growth-minded businesses.

That may not sound like big news, but as this video reveals, it took a team of highly-trained operatives working around the clock with maximum focus and some truly cutting edge tech to pull it together.

So, they'd very much appreciate it if you'd check it out, as would we. 🙏🏻

Is confidence a destination, a linear game to be completed, or is it more of a journey that never really ends, where you'll find yourself moving through different states along the way?

We like the idea of defeating the confidence big boss on the final level, but suspect it probably doesn't work quite like that. 🤔

Really though, we're guessing, so it's awesome that Nurturing Confidence's Amy Jackson, who helps leaders and middle managers find and flex their confidence muscles day in, day out, is here to share some A-grade insight with her contribution to the Hot Takes series.

A great way to start wrapping up mindset and personal growth month at Convoy Collective. 🧠

They say talk is cheap, but when someone who's invested in the value you're working to create with them and their business pipes up with those positive vibes, it's priceless.

Thanks for being part of the Convoy Collective journey Brendan. 💪🏻

Continuing this month's Convoy Collective journey through Mindset & Personal Growth, Jodi Brown from Alchemy Coaching beams in from Yepoon to crack open the concept of POSSIBILITY.

Using his own lived experience as a cornerstone, Jodi's commitment to facilitating a more strategic approach to workplace mental health and wellbeing is second to none. It's why his speaking and coaching gigs are in such demand, and why he's perfectly positioned to weigh into this conversation from a place of real understanding, rather than just snappy soundbites.

Get your windows clean people!🪟

We're getting self-aware with Mr. Pragmatico, Mark Pope, as part of Mindset & Personal Growth month at Convoy Collective.

Mark spends his time partnering with organisations and individuals who're seeking to increase performance and accountability, reduce stress points, and provide deeper satisfaction and fulfilment through enhanced authentic and pragmatic leadership. In short, he's a great go-to for this kind of thinking.

Lean in, Hot Takes is in the building. 🔥

Earlier this week the Collective came together for another of our Lessons Learnt huddles.

These sessions involve a member exploring their own unique experience around the month's hero theme, through the lens of personal and professional journey. What falls out the back of this is a set of shareable stories, insights and thought-starters ripe for reflection and relating to, that come NOT from a place of traditional topic expertise but one of truth and transparency. We purposely avoid inviting the finance guy or gal to talk about money, or the business coach to tackle planning, as it's the vulnerability that comes from leaning into "I'm really not the expert on this..." which sets these conversations up to be as rich as they are.

The latest of these saw Brand Designer Kathryn Steinhardt sharing her lessons on Mindset & Personal Growth, which included...

1. Having the right people around you is crucial to get comfortable with what you don't need to be great at.

2. Knowing the choices you have and understanding the full impact of your decisions, will allow you to intentionally take the best path.

3. Leaning into your cores strengths shapes a lot of progress with personal growth, so get real familiar with them.

It was a super-cool convo which we know left many with plenty to ponder. Why? Because it joined the dots between the human experience and the work one, which is kinda what Convoy Collective's all about.

This month the common thread running through all our Collective events, strategic lunches, digital roundtables, and other curated conversations will have an even more humanistic slant than usual.

We're focused on mindset and personal growth, which is something we know wraps around much of what our members are juggling, and striving for, as business founders and leaders.

So let's start with a question - what do you consider some of the best sources of trusted insight and information on how to approach and action this piece, which likeminded others might benefit from investigating?

Recommendations in the comments please...sharing is (self) caring. 🧠

Not only does he have a winning smile and a studio quality AV setup, both of which we very much appreciate here at Convoy Collective, but Ryan Fowler is also packing plenty of heat on how to ensure your authentic self shows up consistently throughout the experience your customers and clients are having with you.

He also throws us a highly actionable Hot Take tip, tied to asking the right questions of those you serve and then delivering added value based on what you’ve heard and how you’ve supported others through similar situations, asks or opportunities.

As the Chief Storyteller at Orion Media Group, crafting professional comms and content is Ryan’s bread and butter, but as you’ll hear it’s the integration of the human experience into his work which is the ultimate driver of that all important connection for audiences. If you’re not already connected, go give him a stalk immediately!

Upping your customer experience game strategically and sustainably could be compared to scaling a precariously perfect peak. 🏔

That might sound like a stretch, but bear with us...

▷ The conditions for everyone's journey will be at least partly unique, so taking the time to understand the nuance of "who" you're dealing with, as well as how you want to show up for them, will allow you to navigate more nimbly, regardless of the prevailing conditions.

▷ Plotting a best-practice, longer-range path to the summit (AKA a positive outcome) in advance will allow your reactive energy to focus on the inevitable quirks of the terrain as they arise, rather than the fundamentals of context, care, and commitment, which should remain true.

▷ Not every decision along the way will prove to be the right one, nor will the "big" ones necessarily have the most major impact, so be ready to take the learnings whenever and wherever they come - you'll have to be willing to test, iterate and go again, and again, and...

▷ As with most things in business, you'll need the right team AND the right tools for the job at hand - without either, trying to secure and systemise the experience to dial up the best and dial down the rest will be happening on shaky ground.

▷ There'll probably be another, loftier peak to stretch to that you can only see from the top of the present one, and even if there isn't, there'll be other routes to explore that will allow others to get more from where you've been before.

▷ Never forget, the long-tail experience, pre and post, has the capacity to be just as memorable and valuable as the hero section.

Okay, so that was hard going on the analogy front...maybe we'll take the cable car back down.🚡
