I've finished course "Creating a Culture of Service"

Just finished the course “Inclusive Mindset for Committed Allies” by Dereca Blackmon! Check it out: Key learning: Allyship is part of our daily lives, we need to Be Brave, Be Humble and Be Dedicated in what we want to achieve. 

In February, I spoke at Southeastern Community College’s professional development day. We discussed the need for employees to use emotional intelligence to serve those around them. At the end of the session, I asked people to make a 30-day commitment to practice one aspect of emotional maturity. Over 100 people committed that day. After 30 days of tracking progress, the team’s average emotional intelligence self-rating doubled from start to finish. Great things came from these 30 days of focus: ➡  More employees assumed positive intent about other's actions, changing the nature of conversations. ➡  More employees were listening to understand their coworkers, not just to respond. ➡  More employees were slowing down to ensure they weren’t running over people in the name of getting things done. Kudos to the team at SCC for their dedication to building a more emotionally mature culture! 

I've spoken to 30 employers in the last 90 days and the ONE skill-gap they've all identified is RESILIENCE. This week I delivered a workshop to a group of THE most resilient young people I've ever met as part of GoodWork's onboarding programme. Some were care leavers, homeless, victims of domestic violence and all from low income backgrounds. These young people have gone through SO much and are living and breathing examples of true resilience... Yet are locked out of certain industries because due to no fault of their own don't have a degree or A-Levels. Resilience is a skill that's taught from life experience's not grades Don't be that employer that throws the words social mobility and D&I around but isn't willing to actually do the work or make a change. Want to actually make a change? Contact Felicity Halstead to learn more about how to give a group of young people who want to work more than anything a chance.

Ever wondered how to bring "DE&I work" to a non-DE&I role? In our session latest workshop, Demystify DE&I, Whitney Williams and I highlighted key pillars of DE&I work and how to find relevance and opportunity for impact no matter where you are organizationally. With so much great feedback after the session, we might take this on the road 😊

We know that every second counts and act accordingly.

The FM Expert conversations are taking a Christmas sabbatical but will be starting again in 2024 with a fantastic line up… to keep you going, here’s an absolute corker from the 2020 archives! I spoke to Oladele Agunpopo, Workspace Manager at Pareto FM, Reo Wright, Area General Manager at CBRE Global Workplace Solutions (GWS) and Sajna Rahman, Transformational Coach about the lack of diversity in FM. It’s a really honest and insightful discussion covering race, FM and important action points useful to any organisation.   https://lnkd.in/eBgXSdvj   Here's a link to the Ruby McGregor-Smith 'Race at Work' report. https://lnkd.in/ekVdeDrc... About the FM Expert Series. The aim of the series is for FM and Workplace experts to share their insights and top tips to support others in the industry. Facilities Management is a great profession, but working in FM is not an always an easy choice, it is challenging, fast moving and ever-changing which at times can feel overwhelming.  Luckily, FM is also full of experienced people who are happy to share their knowledge! This is a series of video interviews conducted by Beth Goodyear of FMHS Consulting Ltd with many of the prominent experts within the FM profession. The original series launched in 2020 during the height of the Covid pandemic and there are new conversations with fabulous FM Experts being recorded every month so please share with your network! #FMExpert, #facilitiesmanagement, #FMSupport, #learningandevelopment, #networking, #confidence, #leadership, #management
