The Future of Work – The Future of Transformation
Informative – Thought Provoking – Urgent Call to Action

Certain trends accelerated so clearly in the pandemic that we can begin to see clearly what the future looks like and the pace with which we are meeting it.

Given the well-studied challenges that humans and their leaders encounter in adapting, and the proven ways of overcoming those challenges, the infrastructure, mindset and skills and leadership required to build the organisation of the future – today – become clear.

And many organisations have already begun.

The Inspirational Team Leader
A New Inspirational Role – New Tools to Inspire and Change Lives

The Future of Work is a flat, fast and smart organism. Each cell needs the information, inspiration and skill to decide and respond locally – and the environment to support those decisions.

That environment is, largely, the team.

Today’s Team Leader has a more profound impact on the people they lead, their success and the success of the organisation than ever before.

A new set of skills is required, the skill of inspiring adaptability, mixing empowerment with accountability and support and coaching peak performance.

It exceeded my expectations in so many ways and I wanted to let you know that the unsolicited feedback from participants has been resoundingly positive. A standing ovation is not given lightly by our European Leadership Team – a true testament to the value you brought to our conference and I’m confident that we are ready as a team to both tame and unleash our inner tigers.

Working with Jim proved to be challenging and a turning point for our Exec team. It allowed us to step back and examine how we were operating as a team and create a team agreement around how we would step up together.
