I realized that I share about my business, but I don’t often share about the actual work that I do with my clients (and the key word is WITH. The most successful client relationships are collaborative). This is one project I’ve been working on with Business in the Streets: capturing and sharing stories of participants and alumni (all inspiring young entrepreneurs!). So proud of what we’ve done together and excited for what’s to come! #clients #fundraising #consulting #smallbusiness #entrepreneurs #success #storytelling #nonprofits #charities

Today is my 21st day of work in Forthspring. I considered how I might approach this new #leadership challenge - a permanent post rather than the short term change management assignments on which I’ve led for the last decade. I decided, I would be authentic and courageous. I would drive change - it’s my place of comfort and much needed. But, I would learn and act in equal measure. I can now afford to, and have relished the luxury, of focusing beyond strategies and results to deeply understand and value my team. I’ve tried to promote empathy and understanding as foundational to how we work together. I know I thrive in deep, genuine connections, particularly during challenging times - so I need to forge them. What I love about this role is how I get to fully embrace and integrate diverse perspectives into my decision-making processes - we are founded on faith, rooted in community development, and delivering in a secular society. I want a dialogue rich environment in my community centre, and I have it. Everyday, we have art clubs, bereavement groups, pensioners tea dances, exercise classes, after schools clubs, youth provision, detached youth work, counseling, gardening, advice clinics, prayer groups and volunteering running concurrently. I have a strong, responsive team who are community focused and person centred. I am helping them embrace an open exchange of ideas where ‘Yes’ is the instinctual response to the question ‘Can we do - ’: we’ll try, we might fail, we’ll learn and we’ll try again. It’s my hope these inclusive practices will address immediate operational needs and foster a culture where all of the team know they are instrumental in driving tangible improvements across the #charity. We will engage in continuous self-reflection, reassess our actions regularly, and stay committed through challenges. We will be valued driven - but to be that - I must lead authentically, and with courage. I will joyfully embrace generosity, empathy and inclusiveness as the trademarks of my interactions with my wonderful team and our much-valued participants. I’ve kept my messages thoughtful and genuine, transparent and direct, and have spent this entire month being people focused. I’ve made one substantial change to everyone’s job description. They now share, as a priority, a singular outcome to be addressed at each supervision; 👇 Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, to all the souls you can, in every place you can, at all the times you can, with all the zeal you can, as long as ever you can. 👆 And so we’ll trade in making change, using good as a common currency, and the social return on our investment will be the health and happiness of our community. Join us for our #community lunch on June 21st for our Community Lunch from 12pm. Let us know you’re coming - https://lnkd.in/eaywkiDt if you want a free stall to share about your work, be in touch!
