Thrilled to share a few memorable moments from last week’s trip to Thailand, where our MD, Charlotte Rimmer GAICD took the opportunity to finish a business trip with some R&R. The much deserved break meant daily massages, yoga and clean food, truly exemplifying the importance of balancing hard work with rest and relaxation. #rest #relaxation #rejuvenate #energy Alison Billaud Brigid Asquith-Hunt MAICD Sarah Bernie Andrew Gemmell Nikki Heald Angela Middleton (GAICD) Chantelle Hoare

We all have influence.  In this clip from Aide de MD’s recent webinar ‘Tackling Difficult Conversations’, James Griffin MP acknowledges that whilst we may not all have authority to make change, just by raising the fact you want to have a difficult conversation, highlights your influence.   Leaders shouldn’t try to use their influence to get people to just do what they want – instead, they should focus on building collaborative relationships that are win-win for all. A good leader builds authentic, supportive relationships that can help all parties succeed.   Our workshops explore having difficult conversations and considers all angles of what makes a good leader. Reach out to our office to learn more. #mentoring #workshops #influence #successfulpeople #betterleaders Alison Billaud Brigid Asquith-Hunt MAICD Sarah Bernie Andrew Gemmell Nikki Heald Angela Middleton (GAICD) Chantelle Hoare Charlotte Rimmer GAICD

How do you increase productivity, which in turn increases profit??? Charlotte uses this Forbes article to support the reasons why we know that investing in your people is a no-brainer for business leaders.

Our MD Charlotte Rimmer's thoughts on AI:- I think it’s exciting! I ran a leadership conference in India late last year, and their primary learning focus was AI. 300 highly skilled tech people in one place discussing the benefits and costs of AI – fascinating. Whilst so much has changed already in this space, I learnt the following: AI can and should be used to enhance your business. We now use an amazing tool, which sees entire sessions of 4 hours recorded and summarised with Key Points, Next Agenda Items and Action Points. It saved us all time and is easy to reference. AI will not take my job! I knew this anyway but was reminded that EQ and critical thinking is not an AI skillset so I’m safe. It will, however, allow me to process work so that I can invest more time in my relationships. Love language and use it wisely. Language is very important to me because I am passionate about what it can do. I have been brought up to use it effectively and recognise the benefits of nuance and repetition. AI will not hear tones, understand sarcasm or read body language – all skills that are classified as “human”. It will however write me a checklist or a procedure manual to ensure that we are compliant. Charisma and presence. AI does not have “presence”. It may provide a list of incentives, but it won’t understand the people well enough to know who would be motivated by what. It will not read the room or see restlessness and respond accordingly. What do I need to do to embrace AI? Improve my simplistic language, understand how to use the tools better and outsource tasks where I can. Keep learning, find out what it can do and how it can benefit me. Be realistic, it’s not going to give me a whole free day at the beach, but it can help me to manage my time more effectively by driving process. Develop my creative and personal skills – this will continue to differentiate Aide de MD from businesses which solely provide formulaic solutions, a consistent strategy. 2024 has been exciting and I cannot wait to see how I feel when I reflect on this article in 2025, and wonder whether I have done enough to take advantage of this new world opportunity. What are you doing to embrace AI? #leadershipcoaching #AI #humanenergy #successfulpeople #betterleaders Alison Billaud Brigid Asquith-Hunt MAICD Sarah Bernie Andrew Gemmell Nikki Heald Angela Middleton (GAICD) Chantelle Hoare
