Ten minutes with…
I was recently interviewed by FMLM for an article on my own lessons in leadership. It was fun answering their questions – especially as I am used to being the one asking the questions much of the time 😉!
The questions range from key messages for FMLM members, to the qualities I admire in leaders, to the challenges I face working for myself. I hope you find it stimulating and helpful – you can read it here.
I’m also asked how I draw on my own professional experiences and how these influence my work with medical and public health leaders. Here’s a short excerpt drawing on my experience of leading a team of 23 people in my first consultant post:
‘I had to split the team into three different organisations over a 3-year period as part of a national reorganisation (2010-13) – including into organisations that didn’t exist yet. This taught me how to develop effective working partnerships on a one-to-one basis with people who are in distress around their career direction, well-being and or leadership development. It laid the foundation for the work that I’ve gone on to do independently since then.’

I hope you have had a pleasant long weekend and enjoyed both some fun and some rest. I’m equally at home on a meditation cushion or on the dance floor – and have done both over the long weekend: my fitbit clocked over 3.5 hours dance on Friday evening; and Sunday afternoon was spent doing yoga. I’m recharged and looking forward to seeing my current clients again, and to meeting new ones, after the short break- and hope you are feeling recharged too.
