Relationships take work.

After a busy summer, my husband and I marked the start of the new term with a child-free night away in London. We had so much fun as a family over the summer, but the weekend reminded me how important it is to take time to focus on our relationship with each other.

The same goes in the workplace. Sometimes we are so familiar with those we work closely with, we forget we still need to work on those relationships.

It might be taking a team member for a coffee, having lunch with a colleague or arranging a team social, but finding time to nurture those connections is so important.

In a world where hybrid working is the norm for many, investing in these relationships can take more effort and planning - but it is undoubtedly worth it.

And remember, if you need any help creating a thriving workplace culture - whether it's leadership training, planning an away day, workshops to get team working better together - I'm here for you. Just drop me a line.

The summer holiday juggle has began!

We escaped to Paris for a few days last week (and got our Disney fix!), which was amazing (if a tad on the toasty side).

Back to work this week whilst grandparents step in to help.

If you’re a working parent, how do you manage the summer holiday juggle?

P.S. If you’ve got 30 minutes this Thursday (12 noon) why not join Nicola Jackson and me for our free webinar to learn about our new online leadership programme, The Thrive Collective, launching in September.

Find the link in the comments or drop me a DM to sign up.

This was me last Thursday, in my element, interviewing the fabulous Faye Dicker on stage at The Founders Playground.

We were talking about the importance of community. How we need the support of others around us to do great things (and just to keep us sane!).

It was such a joyful day. And so lovely to see some familiar faces (Tamsin Broster, Amy Stevens, Ellie Bowie, Nicky Marshall, Jenna Wilson, Helene Jewell CPF to name a few) and to make some great new connections too (especially Storm Wilson- Kennedy and Laura Cloherty).

Also, big thanks to Rosie Parsons for capturing some great shots of us on stage.

What does community mean to you? Who raises you up and cheers you on?

I won’t fix your culture.

Here’s the truth, working with me for six months won’t ‘fix’ your culture. I don’t have a magic wand I can wave that will bring about change overnight.

What you will get from working with me is:
- clarity on what you want your culture to look and feel like
- a bunch of tools and a clear plan to help you get from where you are now to where want to be
- insights and advice to help you hone your skills and adjust your mindset and behaviours, allowing you to thrive and be more joyful at work
- a cheerleader/coach/confidente to walk alongside you as you start to make changes
- plenty of ‘I never thought of it like that’ moments

If this sounds like something your organisation needs, drop me a line. I’d love to chat.
