After sharing the link to a webinar series I have been doing on self-leadership (or things that help you work better) I thought I would share some conclusions. This includes our Work Love Languages test, which has been an eye-opener! Let me know what you think? Also, there is a link to the next session - One hour on conflict at work!

Dame Ellen MacArthur DBE, Vincent van Gogh and a hermit called Vasily who spent 35 years living alone in the arctic circle. What have these three got in common? They chose to work alone - in isolation. For most of us this is not an option, and in fact for many of us working with others is a joy.

SO - I let her out of the box again after a few years... A bit for work but mostly because I couldn't find a Johari Windows video that wasn't a bit flat! For those who also remember Windows 95 this has some silly stuff for you too! https://youtu.be/ysamKi1FfAo

Auntie Lara explains the Johari Window through the medium of Windows 95

What could possibly go wrong!

A ridiculous look at the Johari Window via the medium of 1990s Microsoft office. No budget or props were disturbed in the making of this film.

Ever heard of Funeral Advocacy before? Neither had we, until we started to see the value of such a role and came up with this definition. The work will depend on the need but it always starts with deep listening and empathy.

We just discovered this amazing set of tools... https://www.noble.studio/free-resources Includes Snakes and Ladders - Death edition. and Death Dominos.

If you are looking to have an open and honest discussion about death and want to face her head on you don't need to be able to play chess, you could start with something far more simple.

As part of our Annual Impact Theme on End of Life, we have created a set of free resources exploring how to stimulate discussion around death and dying.

Coming really close to Launch Date so lets meet a few of the people who have made this happen.

Paul is a Yew Fellowship coach and trainer. Currently preparing, with Sam, to train a group of amazing volunteers for the Fellowship. The course looks at empowerment and advocacy when supporting families.

For those students that find they have barriers to starting a business, finsing thier true purpose or want to challenge themselves to grow - Paul is on hand.

Paul has worked in the third sector, in a wide and diverse range of paid and voluntary roles from front line to executive team and trustee board, for over 20 years. His focus has always remained constant however – supporting people to achieve their full potential – especially in times of vulnerability.

An experienced trainer, coach, manager and leader, Paul is passionate about equality and empowerment and has discovered that relationships built on trust and authenticity, seasoned with mutual respect and accountability almost always seems to enable people to grow and flourish.

A qualified Therapeutic Coach, Paul believes that, whilst we are all delightfully different, everyone is of equal value and deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.

Paul has more recently found a passion for a combination of nature, exercise and meditation and can often be found walking and running (slowly) in natural settings near his cottage.

If we had a theme song - this could very well be it.

World, you're not alone in all this
You're not alone, I promise
Standing together we can do anything
I want to leave you better
I want my life to matter
I am afraid I have no purpose here
The rain it falls, rain it falls
Pouring on me
And the rain it falls, rain it falls
Sowing the seeds of love and hope, love and hope
You don't have to stay here, stuck in the weeds

"The only thing that remains constant is change." Now more than ever we need to pull together to fight for humanity, social justice, equality & so much more....
