In our final insight this week, we address balancing compliance with being innovative... Does this sound right? Can you share your experiences of where these two objectives clash and how you resolved it? Or perhaps you don’t agree that it can be an issue? #leadership #governance #balance

Ohhhh goosebumps! 😅 One of my favourite projects last year was working with the wonderful leaders at Abingdon and Witney College in Oxford and Rockborn. I remember starting this project and immediately feeling how deeply AWs mission—‘Be you, be extraordinary’—was woven into their DNA. Naturally, I was hooked! 💯 Last week was the end-of-programme celebration event. It was a goosebump moment for me listening to the personal stories of those on the programme. A real reminder of why I love what I do - working with leaders - those who want to learn and be at their best for themselves and their teams. Hearing from leaders first-hand about their experience, their growth, and the shifts they’ve made in how they lead, and seeing the ripple effect it’s already having—was just incredible. I felt proud and greatful 🙏 This was no off-the-shelf leadership programme - it was designed working hand in hand with Jo Milsom and Jacqui Canton to build on their vision (so very enjoyable btw!). Build around their culture and unique needs - practical, intentional, and built around the real challenges and aspirations of the college. 📢 64 senior and middle leaders - got involved 🗨️ 9 months 🎯 We co-designed the 'Leading the AW Way' leadership behaviours and a leader self-assessment 📚 6-module workshops designed and delivered - closing the gap between where they were and where they want to be as a college 🤝 1:1 executive coaching for senior leaders 🤝 Group coaching for managers ✨ …all done with a dose of pizazz, of course! ------------ If you're a leader in Further Education looking to develop your leaders, strengthen your culture, or elevate team effectiveness, check us out at Rockborn—we’d love to chat! Always a pleasure to work with you Nic Tomlinson 💫 Jacqui Canton Jo Milsom Kash K Nic Tomlinson Peter Ryder Rockborn Lee Probert

Here at Rockborn we are regularly asked about these relationships - so we have gathered best practice from across many successful organisations and are sharing insights into how to be an effective triumvirate team. These insights will be shared on the Rockborn Linkedin page next week - let us know your thoughts and whether this best practice works for you..? #Triumvirateteam #EffectiveGovernance

The Unloc and Rockborn Changemaker Programme is a great programme! Click on the link below to find out more details. #governance #furthereducation #studentgovernors Hayden Taylor Tom Lloyd Peter Ryder Wendy Stanger BA Hons PGDip ACMA FCG Award and Cert FEGP
Recently we held our Student Governor Changemaker Summit. It was an absolutely fantastic event which saw a cohort of 60 Student Governors take part in the first stage of the programme. Now these dynamic future leaders will take part in a series of digital masterclasses, as well as our Destinations Conference in London during the Summer term. We received so much positive feedback from the young attendees, hearing how much they'd enjoyed the event, and the skills and abilities they were taking back to their colleges. One attendee said: "It was amazing, I loved every minute of it. I learnt confidence in my opinions and ideas, how to ask questions, and how to ask questions and how to make an impact and be my best version of a leader." Scan the QR code in the image above to read all about our Student Governor Changemaker Programme from Unloc and Rockborn. Together our organisations provide a wide range of services to support schools and colleges across the UK. From student voice audits, to courses and programmes, pay reviews, support through mergers and acquisitions, and governance reviews. Can we help your school or college?

We are delighted you enjoyed the programme Abigail Wampamba Nassuna. It was fantastic meeting with you and all the Student Governors on the programme. It really was a great day! Hayden Taylor Unloc Peter Ryder
As the Student Governor of Education Partnership North East recently got to attend the Unloc Student Governor Changemaker Summit which was an amazing opportunity. It was a chance to meet with other student governors from different colleges, to share our experiences in the role and support each other. From being welcomed by the wonderful Hayden Taylor and Tony Shrubsall who both helped us with a detailed and equipped me with an understanding of what the role of a Student Governor entails and how to handle the role as a young person. The programme helped develop our public speaking, confidence and professional approach to being a board member in our respective colleges all while reminding us of our equality on the board. I also got to hear from two guest speakers, Peter Ryder, one of the company directors of Rockborn, and Rhys Gapper an IT director at Burberry. One of the things that struck me from Rhys, was to take the opportunities, and from Peter was that there is no one route to get somewhere, and to do something you love. A lot of the things we learn from life are from our experiences, and this experience is no exception. Thank you, Unloc for this opportunity and support on this day.
