Making strategy and its execution simple so Business Leaders and their teams achieve more. Scale Up Consultant | Executive Coach | Leadership Team Facilitator

What gets your juices going?  What’s the spark? I recently joined a work reunion with some colleagues from way back. The conversation meandered around.  “What was your big moment? ... the conversation when everything changed ... or the day you realised that ...  what do you believe is your biggest achievement?” Almost inevitably  it got me thinking about what set me off down the career and life path that I have enjoyed.   It made me think of the work content and activities I liked, and stuff I disliked.  It caused me to reflect on the decisions made when I went one way rather than another. However, what springs to mind more than anything else is the positive energy of being part of a competent, passionate team who are motivated, committed  and determined to achieve ... whatever the challenges are.  That’s work, and play, at its best for me.  Being part of an A-team on its game. Whether it was getting an acquisition across the line, a major change programme delivered, setting up a state of the art distribution facility for success, launching a new retail concept, discovering new ways that delivered more with less, ... or getting up a snowy mountain. It’s the team that made the work exciting, worth doing, as well as making it happen. There was always a team that helped get it done. Behind every great personal achievement is a team that put you there. That’s why I do the work I do to help people, and their businesses, achieve more.

Couldn’t agree more. For me being part of a committed, competent team who love working together on whatever it is, business or otherwise, is up there amongst the greatest feelings in life.
