TPL Experiences

#BusinessInsider42Under42 Throwback to be featured in last month's #BusinessInsider magazine and throwback to an inspirational day spent talking all things business #impact, #growth and #resilience. Such an honour and joy to be in the company of some of the most #successful and inspiring #businessleaders of #Yorkshire at the Business Insider 42 under 42 #roundtable #discussion. It was great to exchange notes about business trends and obviously I had to plug in the importance of embedding a #socialimpact model into our businesses, regardless of size and reach! Thank you Ian Leech for inviting me and thanks to all the brilliant #entrepreneurs who I had the pleasure of meeting. Love the journey that I and TPL Experiences are experiencing, miles to walk but for now, just celebrating one of our many triumphs! Insider Media #awards #recognition

For me, Diwali is not so much about celebrating a religious festival as it is about celebrating the essence of this festival. The essence for me (And every person celebrating this may have their own reasons to celebrate!) is to celebrate the light in each one of us, the light that allows us to be kind, respectful and honest to ourselves and others. I may not be a very religious person but the story of the good triumphing over the evil (Lord Rama killing the evil demon Ravana in the epic- Ramayana) is a great reminder of the fact that all of us sit on a spectrum of emotions, we all have the characteristics of Rama (good) and those of Ravana (Bad) in us and we also have the innate wisdom to make a choice of where we sit on this spectrum, every single day. So regardless of whether you celebrate Diwali or not, I respect and honour the light (good) in you today and everyday. Happy Diwali 🙏 😁 Image details- A rangoli pattern coloured in by my son and me. #Diwali

#Peopelandculturechange This week I have been talking to a few of our clients about the importance and in business terms, the ROI on building #resilientcultures and #engagedteams. And it made me revisit some of the resources we had put together on #culturechange. Thought this may be useful to some of you too, feel free to click on the link below to get access to a few useful tools and resources from the world of #stafftraining and #development, #staff culture and wellbeing.

#Christmasteamaway I love the diversity of our work at TPL Experiences One day we are working on the strategy of a #charity, the next we are running a #conflictmanagement training for a logistics company in Cheshire and yesterday we were spending time with a client to plan their #Christmas #teamday! Such joy to work on so many different projects! Throwback to a tailored, theme base #teambuilding programme that we delivered for this fun, creative organisation in Leeds. We loved the #enthusiasm of the leadership team and it was such a joy to see the engagement, energy and excitement amongst the team, what a rewarding way of encouraging #collaboration and #TeamEngagement. Fancy having us on board to plan your bespoke #Christmas celebration? Lets chat :) #digitech #digital #techleeds #glean #growth #consultancy #TeamEngagement #inclusiveculture

#socialimpact Being a #businessforgood means that we have slowly shifted our business model to create space for #communityimpact projects that have a direct impact on the #healthandwellbeing of those who are must vulnerable in our communities in Leeds. Through out this year, we developed a record number of community projects for a wide range of communities across the region. One such project that I am so proud of is the #CreativeVoices project. As many of you may know, Creative Voices is a community group that I have created and lead since 2021, we have had such an incredible impact on our members from the #elderlyLGBTQ + community living in Leeds. The projects have not just enabled the participants to find friendships, learn new creative arts but what it has enabled is for the participants to find hope. Hope in themselves, hope in living and in being. Here is a short video that shares just a few glimpses of joy and the hope and the life affirming experiences experienced by these lovely beings. I have managed to deliver these projects only because of the support of a team of brilliant artists and associates! I have loved seeing the impact we have been able to create because of #collaborations. On a side note- We are always keen to speak with #organisations who would like to support our #Communityengagement work- drop me a line and lets chat. https://lnkd.in/dkVzSQdD

Do you and your team play enough? We talk (Well, at least I do!) a lot about building a #collaborative culture at the workplace. And yes, we need a plan for that and a good strategy to ensure sustainability however it makes me very sad when organisations do not fully tap into the power of #creativity, #joy and #play on the overall #culture of their teams! The pandemic was a great reminder of the fact that all of us #thrive on social connections and collaborations. An interesting article that talks about the importance of #fun and #play to reduce #loneliness at the workplace. Let today and my very sad face 😒 remind you to embed lots of moments of creative fun at your workplace, I guarantee you that it will not just bring your team closer but it will also have a ripple impact on your overall productivity of the team as well! https://lnkd.in/gugtxwen

#YorkshirewomeninBusiness One of the goals I had set for myself, earlier this year was to show up more! Now as a small business owner, that is easier said than done! But when I was asked to join the Yorkshire Women in Business group as a committee member, I had to say Yes! For those of you who may not know about us, we exist to create more #safe and #inclusive spaces for women and allies to women, to come together to collaborate, communicate and build our networks. And I am beyond thrilled to see the #change we have already begun to facilitate with our first ever conference last month! More about our conference and our future ambitions here- https://lnkd.in/eGQkzMQg PS- Make sure you sign up for our newsletters to get details of our latest events. #womeninbusiness #Yorkshire

Do you believe in manifestations? 😇 When I began my journey of transitioning #TPLExperiences to becoming a #businessforgood and one that has #communityimpact at the heart of it, I had no clue what was coming our way in terms of scale and impact of programmes we would end up leading on! But there is something powerful about manifestations that works for all of us, right? Few years back, I remember writing on my vision board something around the lines of #charity sector #resilience and #sustainability! Little did I know that in three years, I would lead on so many incredible, first of its kind #resilience building #funded programmes for the #thirdsector in Leeds and beyond! It is the change and the impact that we have been able to create that makes our journey as a Business for good so much more memorable! Just some of the #lovelyfeedback we get to hear from organisations we have worked with!

#Gratitude This week, I am filled with joy, hope and gratitude. 💫 Gratitude for the brilliant people in my life who make the journey so much more joyful! 💫 Gratitude for the incredible women I have had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with! 💫 Gratitude for the purposeful life that I have the privilege of leading, one that allows me to do some incredible, impactful work. 💫 Gratitude for the generous clients that continue to trust me and help me become a better version of myself, every day. 💫 Gratitude for the joy of wandering! This week 'wandering' came in the form of chasing the Northern lights. What are you most grateful for this week?

#Buildingresilientcommunities Leading and delivering this coaching-led, innovative infrastructure development programme has definitely been a highlight for this year! Four years back, when I took a conscious decision to embed #communityandsocialimpact into our business model, little did I know that we would be trusted to deliver on #sectorchange programmes like this one! We have been privileged to be asked on multiple instances in the past few years to lead on regional funded programmes to help build the overall resilience and sustainability of the third sector across different parts of the country. The #Leeds #PowerofCommunities #Leadership and #Infrastrucuture development programme to support the growth and development of organisations working with culturally diverse communities in Leeds, has definitely been one such programme, we are proud to have delivered.
