Babble

Today marks the launch of Fit to Lead: A new leadership framework. In 2024, leadership is changing. Leaders are now measured not just by their professional achievements, but by their overall ‘fitness’ to lead in every sense of the word. Sponsored by Acronis, Fit to Lead is a rallying cry for leaders everywhere to embrace a fresh approach to leadership, where physical, mental and ethical fitness unite to drive positive change. At Babble, we uphold these three pillars, shown in Babble Ride Across Britain and our current challenge, Doddie Aid’s All Roads Lead to Rome in support of My Name'5 Doddie Foundation, bringing together members of our team as they exercise their physical, mental and ethical fitness.    To find out how business leaders are exploring, adopting, and exercising the three pillars of modern leadership, read here: https://lnkd.in/eP3NcNCn    #WeAreBabble #BabbleFitToLead #FitToLead #BabbleRideAcrossBritain #RAB2024 #ARLTR #ARLTR2024 #BabbleRabble Threshold Sports

Babble’s 2024 charity partner is the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. This year, we’ve committed to fundraise £250k to support them in their goal of A World Free of MND.   Our next big challenge is the Babble Ride Across Britain, taking place in just five weeks where our team, the Babble RABble, will be on the start line at Land’s End, ready to take on the 980-mile challenge to John o’Groats in just nine days.   A vital element to supporting the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation’s work is fundraising. Taking part in challenges such as the Babble Ride Across Britain is just one way we are doing our part to support them and their research.   Just last month, to mark Doddie Weir’s 54th birthday, the Foundation announced its commitment to invest £500,000 to support MND clinical trials across the UK – another momentous step into finding a cure.   If you can, please support our efforts by donating on our team JustGiving page. Every donation counts: https://lnkd.in/eDSTJ_B7   And, if you’re interested in joining us on the Babble RAB journey, please register your interest here: https://lnkd.in/eDnKdKMQ   #WeAreBabble #MakingADifference #BabbleRideAcrossBritain #BabbleRAB #RAB #RideAcrossBritain #RAB2024 #Doddie #MyName5DoddieFoundation #MyName5Doddie #DoddieWeir #Doddie5 #MNDF

Babble at the F1. We recently hosted several Babble clients at the British Formula 1 Grand Prix, taking place at the Silverstone Motor Circuit on Sunday the 7th of July. Babble's Ryan Kinsella, Stephen Hennessy and Yaz Mistry joined Babble clients from JSP, MiTek, Armstrong Teasdale, Empowering Learning Ltd, Team Teach Ltd, ABM Industries, and Papa Johns for what was certainly a race to remember. Thank you for joining us. An intense qualifying saw a British front three on the grid for the first time since 1962. Battling changing weather conditions, the crowd witnessed a tactical masterclass from Sir Lewis Hamilton, resulting in a record-breaking 9th British Grand Prix for the 7-time World Champion. #WeAreBabble #BabbleMVP #BeTheMVP

And with that, our Lunch & Learn Regional Meetup in Manchester has concluded. A fantastic day networking with our customers, and hearing from our experts on everything Microsoft 365, Microsoft Copilot and business leadership. Wrapping up proceedings with our 'Leading Beyond Tech Q&A', Kenny S. Kamal, CIO at Oxfam International, was joined by Babble CMO, Jeremy Langley, to share his experiences of providing meaningful change through IT while navigating the challenges leaders of today face in the tech space. Kenny shared some of the key takeaways he learnt throughout his career: >> "As a CTO at a leading SMB, I was talking technology and product roadmaps, but nobody listened. The key is you have to talk through business benefits, business risks and how IT investment relates to business strategy." >> "Listen with passion. Nobody is going to write down the pain points or share an Excel sheet with you. Technologists are not great listeners. Start here and build your plan from the right place." Over the coming weeks, we'll be sharing more insights and takeaways from our Lunch & Learn Regional Meetups. A special thank you to all of our customers who joined us, as well as our speakers and panellists for being a part of today’s sessions. Peter Graham, Ingram Micro, John Whitehead, Microsoft, Kenny S.
