NEW webinar: Leading Growth in 4 Easy Steps - Step 2: Mobilise A great strategy is worthless if it stays on the whiteboard. Mobilisation is about turning vision into action—aligning your team, resources, and priorities to drive real change. Ask yourself: ✅ Does everyone in your team understand the strategy and their role in it? ✅ Are you removing silos and ensuring collaboration? ✅ Are you equipping people with the right tools to execute? Without alignment, even the best plans stall.

NEW: Thoughts from The Chair long-read 📖 "Looking Beyond Tomorrow: The Mindset of Future-Ready Leadership" The pace of change in business is relentless. Disruptions, new technologies, and shifting market dynamics mean that leaders can’t afford to just react—they need to anticipate, adapt, and evolve. So, what does it take to be truly future-ready? In our latest Thoughts from the Chair blog, Colin Wright explores the essential mindset and strategies that help leaders stay ahead of the curve, including: ✅ Expanding your time horizon – The best leaders don’t just focus on short-term wins; they think long-term, making decisions today that will drive sustainable success. ✅ Balancing agility with strategic direction – Future-proof leadership means being adaptable without losing sight of your overarching vision. Are you ready to pivot when needed? ✅ Empowering your team for the future – Leadership isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about creating an environment where innovation and resilience thrive. ✅ Mastering decision-making under uncertainty – The future is never 100% clear, but strong leaders embrace ambiguity, using a mix of data, intuition, and bold thinking to drive progress. ❓ How are you preparing yourself and your team for what’s ahead?

🚀 NEW Episode - Cut Through: Nail Your P.R.E.P. Start strong. Cut through. Win attention. In sales, the first few seconds of a conversation can make or break your chances of engagement. If you don’t hook your customer with something that matters to them, you risk losing them to distractions. Mark Francis explains that’s why you need PREP – the Pain-Related Elevator Pitch. 🔹 Pain – Call out the customer’s biggest challenge. 🔹 Related – Connect it directly to your solution. 🔹 Elevator Pitch – Keep it short, sharp, and valuable. ✅ It’s relevant. ✅ It promises value. ✅ It makes saying ‘yes’ easy. Want to make every sales conversation count? Use P.R.E.P. #sales #salesleaders #leadership #commercialleadership
