🌟 Exciting 2 days out of the office with alumni from the Defence Medical Leadership Programme (DMLP)! 🌟 Defence Medical Academy Bringing together all four cohorts was an incredible experience, filled with rich insights, thoughtful reflections, and powerful connections. What truly resonated with me was the incredible comfort and bravery we discovered in sharing our stories of adversity and triumph. 🌟 Embracing vulnerability as a leadership trait normalises our experiences and empowers open dialogue. #TeamStrength #Resilience #Authenticity 💬 When leaders show vulnerability, they foster a culture of trust, empathy, and connection. It’s about breaking down barriers and creating a space where everyone feels valued and heard. 🤝 Let’s continue to champion this approach. Imagine the innovation and growth we can achieve when we lead with our hearts and minds wide open. 💡❤️ The power of this network is phenomenal, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to grow together. 💬🤝 #Leadership #Vulnerability #Empowerment #Authenticity #Growth #InclusiveLeadership #HumanConnection #DMLP #Networking #Growth #Resilience #Community 🛡️👩⚕️👨⚕️🌱

‘There is no learning without action and no (sober and deliberate) action without learning’. Reg Revans wrote this following his work on the development and application of action learning, an approach to problem-solving in the workplace that enables colleagues to draw on their collective abilities to find innovative solutions. If you’ve not used this approach before, there’s a really useful guide available from NHS England: https://lnkd.in/em2jV7Ty We’ve found the use of action learning sets to be hugely useful by virtue of the opportunity they provide for gaining different perspectives on an issue and opening ourselves up to new ideas. For these reasons action learning forms an important part of our Defence Medical Leadership Programme (DMLP). It certainly proved its benefit once again this week when we gathered alumni from across four DMLP cohorts to explore our ambitions and goals for supporting leadership development across the organisation. It can be tricky to carve out time in busy schedules to take stock and look to the future, but it’s so important. So many people commented on the value of reconnecting and being able to discuss challenging issues in a safe space. Thanks so much to John Barclay BStJ MSc FTEA, Sue Pope and Rebekah Jones for making the event possible, and to all the alumni who travelled to contribute to the event. #leadershipdevelopment #healthcareleadership #organisationaldevelopment

It was hugely inspiring to be surrounded by so many advocates of our values- and behaviours-based approach to leadership. The trust, authenticity and commitment to those we serve was humbling to witness. Sincere thanks Kelly for all you are doing as part of this movement. You’re making a real difference.
