Naturally Talented Me

In May 2020, we launched during a key event in history with our core aim to support so many individuals who struggle to find themselves, their place in society and be recognised for their core abilities - their Natural Talents. Funnily enough our positioning was driven by "Unlocking Potential" which today seems to the be the buzz word for many other brands big and small. Does that mean that we hit on something truly inspirational or is it just that others realised the impact of what this term inspires. Hey ho, either way the one good thing is that nearly 5 years later, here we are still fighting this fight and with the same goals and ambitions, seeing so many finally uncover their true value and potential. How many other companies do you know who use the term "Unlock your Potential"? Let us know below in the comments so we can see how influential we might have been on other brands. We'd love to hear and most of all, are proud to know that our brand is a key attribute to delivering real value. Thanks for our continued followers, believers and here's to working with many more of you whose lives we can change.

It will be really interesting to see how the Skills England drive will allow new innovation to be considered and include companies like ourselves in the drive to making real change. All too often the ideas are put through groups who already are part of the current process removing new thinking from the field. We really hope that this isn't going to be the same old, same old - what's your thoughts? Simon Ashworth Department for Education

Our next phase in creating a society where everyone is seen for their true talent is now here and it is vital that we all consider how changes needs to be for the betterment and not just to try and plaster over a broken system. This needs to be an era of understanding individuals at an early stage of their life so that we can nurture in a positive way, help them embrace their talents and see how they will be the building blocks of their future. Education needs to see each student in the form of possibility and understand why some of the curriculum is just not going to develop their skills and most of all, see each and every one of them as individuals with abilities and talents that will drive them all in different directions to ensure they leave education with the ability to be employed for those foundational positive attributes that will secure jobs/opportunities for all.

This highlights the shift in change that is essential to ensure jobs for all and we see our tools being a hugely powerful way to support this journey. If we can start to build really tangible data on the local talent pools then it has to enthuse local employers to get more involved and bridge the gap with education to turn the tide of sourcing new diverse talent for our future skills needs.

A great example of how Hidden Talent could have changed history and why we need to embrace new talent for our future.

So here we are again - seeing how the broken process is still failing so many. This is the time to change with the new drivers around #SkillsEngland and of course the way we want to bridge the skills gaps. There is so much untapped and diverse talent out there, if only #Employers and #Government could see through the clutter and try a new approach! Cristina Criddle Jess Flack FHEA Financial Times

Our mission is that EVERY school and support organisation in the UK has access to this insightful tool. Through this, every student and marginalised individual would finally appreciate the talents they possess and be presented with a wider range of career options available to them linked to their transferable talents. Any employers open to sponsoring this in local areas to finally source your diverse talent pools of the future??

There must be someone who can offer such talent an opportunity!!!

Naturally Talented Me has always sought to innovate and through 2024 we have been developing new products and solutions that will deliver significant change in the world of talent and employability.   The first of these is NTM Lite - our Discover Me Tool - 3-minute overview - https://lnkd.in/eRhiKjki   Our mission is that EVERY school and community in the UK has access to this insightful tool. Through this, every participant would finally appreciate the talents they possess and be presented with a wider range of career options available to them, linked to their transferable talents.   Our ask is that you – the connections who have shared our vision to do better for everyone, regardless of background, circumstance or label to progress - by supporting us in spreading the word far and wide.  Customers may be in all shapes and sizes from primary schools to support organisations across a wide range of marginalised communities so please circulate this post to all your connections.   And if you are an employer who is open to sourcing new talent pools and may be willing to sponsor local schools and community groups – we REALLY want to speak to you.   With your help we can stop just wishing for something different to make a real change and can really make it happen.   We believe this can change the way we can finally identify and discover new diverse talent pools that are on your doorstep and help solve the perceived skills shortage employers are bemoaning. #thinkingdifferently #change #skillsagenda #talent
