A personal story from @lavimariam about getting feedback that she’d never be the successor bc she lacked people skills. Then she got a new manager, who wanted to play to Lavinia’s strengths. And she was promoted.
She asked her direct report how she’s doing as a manager…
Lovely summary of takeaways from @lavimariam and this lingering thought: ‘not everyone has to be a manager’ #T3S4#LT23UK
@lavimariam reminds us of the feedback that made her cry shared earlier in the presentation. After all her intentional approaches she then got this feedback, which also made her cry! #T3S4#LTUK23
‘We tell ourselves assumptions based on past experiences’ great example from @karolinaroz of being too keen ‘an overarching energy’ an over confidence without understanding #T3S4#LT23UK
‘Business acumen is indispensable’ @karolinaroz backs up @lavimariam’s top tip on Ask Questions about the Business.
‘We can’t only explore and not deliver’ @karolinaroz. The phrase ‘low hanging fruit’ creates an emotion in our speaker today. She wants early impact but focused on long term solutions.
Next session on Integrated Learning #T4S5 starting now. @kevinavis is about to take the stage and in the meantime the audience is met with funky music ‘Super Freak’ 🎶
@kevinavis opens the session offering us some of his background and how he fell in love with people. 3rd sector, private sector, often highly regulated sectors. Huge focus on change and transformation. ‘Fun and dirty work’ #T4S5#LT23UK
What questions would you like answered by the end of this session? The audience are asked to respond on Menti whilst Love Shack plays in the background #T4S5#LT23UK
Change Management #T252 up next. Curious how we think about change in a world that’s constantly evolving. On my bingo card for words used to describe the current environment in this session I have ‘BANI’. B:rittle, A:nxious, N:on-linear and I:incomprehensible. #LT23UK
Florence Dambricourt @talking4good steps up first and dives straight into the illusion of managing change.
Florence speaks of creating space through meaningful conversations. By opening the space you can collect data that informs you on how to make your change a success. This is not about reaching consensus, but you still have created space for others to make changes. #T2S2#LT23UK
