“This week I read a brilliant article on Decision-making in the Broadening perspectives on risk article from the British Psychological Society.

“Societal Focus. What this means for me, is that they can at least unconsciously connect the work they do and the change they want to make to everyone in ‘their’ society i.e. their team and organisation and explain this to those around them. The real growth, through coaching comes in being able to consciously do this across their organisation developing a string foundation for sector wide and cross sector influence”.

"Helping others to transition from an idea into a cultural norm and a way of working, living and being takes energy, it takes commitment AND almost as importantly pacing and recuperation’.
Like the bike races I do, leadership and change are an endurance race"

"Perhaps it’s a useful allegory for myself and an underpinning wisdom for much of the work I do with leaders, who will need 3, 5 and maybe even 7 years to deliver the full change they seek. We can all be tempted by the immediate; but chase it too quickly and without sufficient support and sustenance at your peril".

"How do you be BRAVE - you find others who BELIEVE too, you identify and collect RESOURCES to support you, you Act in unison, interdependently with others. You have a VISION which is compelling and you Engender confidence and positive expectation by recognising and buolding upon the progress you make, no matter how small"
