I was recently asked what my top tips for success were, so here they are! They will work whether you are a business, NGO or charity!

1. Establish both a short and long-term vision, then plan on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual basis.

2. Concentrate on your lead measures, which are the everyday tasks that will assist you in achieving your objectives. Make them quantifiable and specific.

3. Have a solid marketing strategy in place that you stick to no matter how busy you are...

2012 was a life-changing year for me. I was diagnosed with breast cancer...

I lost my lovely mum in the middle of my treatment...

And I discovered my husband was having an affair!

I kid you not, 3 of the most stressful events - all in one year!

I don't do things by halves! 🤣

LET'S TALK ABOUT ACCIDENTAL MANAGERS!

So, what exactly do I mean when I say "accidental"?

An accidental manager is someone who ends up in a senior position because:

• They were outstanding at a specific aspect of their career, such as sales.

• There was no one else available, and the position needed to be filled.

• Their potential was recognised.

Often what you think you want is not what you want at all! 😉

I'm lucky enough to have a really special team of leadership and management trainers who get to work with some pretty amazing organisations, businesses and NGOs.

Most clients are sure they know what they need from us when we first meet. They come to us to fix a particular problem with their team, business or organisation.

They often want a quick fix...

How often do you work on tasks that somebody else should be doing?

Lack of time is pretty much always an issue for my clients. It doesn’t matter what the industry, most business owners, leaders and managers generally have too much to do and too little time to do it in.

Yes, there can often also be an issue around efficiency, but most of the time this is a result of either:

Sometimes you've just got to say it as it is...💬

As a leadership and management coach and trainer, I'm often brought in to fix things.

Teams in conflict. To raise performance. To identify issues. To help squabbling leaders. To improve management skills.
​
When this happens, it can be challenging for all but we often have to go through the hard stuff to find the solutions. It's the only way to move forward.

​Let’s talk about trust. ?

I often get called into help squabbling senior leadership teams work out their differences. Whether they are B,C,D or V suite executives, the core problem is always the same…

A LACK OF TRUST! 😕

✔️ In each other.
✔️ In their manager.
✔️ In the senior leaders.

Or sometimes, all of the above.

When teams don’t trust each other…

​📖 Many of you may have heard of a lovely little book about change called Who Moved My Cheese by Dr Spencer Johnson.

It’s about 4 characters that live in a maze called Hem & Haw (the little people) and Sniff & Scurry (the mice 🐭).

They all go every day to the same place to get their cheese.
They’ve been doing it for years.
They love the cheese there.
They like that it’s always there.
They like that know where to find it!

​I’m just back from a lovely holiday in Gran Canaria. Despite the faff of the covid tests, locator forms and getting pinged at the airport, it was a great trip. 😊

Apart from dolphin watching and visiting the pretty spectacular mountains, my two favourite days were when everyone else went out for the day!

Just me. A sunbed. The sun. And my kindle. And an audio version of my book to make sure I didn’t come back with panda eyes! Heaven! Bliss!
