Aligning what you need to do with what we're very good at.

By listening, and understanding your strategy, challenges and goals, Inspiring ChangeMakers will develop innovative learning and development programmes, workshops or events to meet your needs.

  • Do you need your people to be better at leading change?

  • Do you have people who need fresh inspiration, new ideas and to broaden their contextual awareness?

  • Do you have people who need to develop their resilience, confidence, influencing skills and networks?

  • Do you have people who need to better understand what drives and motivates others, and therefore improve collaborative working?

  • Does your organisation need to develop meaningful and sustained networks?

Whether for specific groups within your organisation, or for those you are working with in partnership, Inspiring ChangeMakers connects those in senior leadership positions who will openly and honestly share real and current experience, with those who can benefit most. This helps people explore what others' have tried - and with what results, what they learned, and what can be adapted to your context.

Inspiring ChangeMakers can deliver, for your organisation, or for you and those you want to engage with more effectively. experiences which include:

  • Effective and sustainable networks for peer-support, generating new ideas and solutions-focussed activities

  • One day events on specific issues or problems to increase understanding and develop fresh thinking

  • Interactive workshops grappling with ‘real-world’ challenges to explore new ways of working, creating bridges between 'silos', departments, or organisations

  • Programmes to help people think more deeply about what they do now - and to think creatively what they could do differently; which build confidence to constructively challenge current thinking and practice - for change; learn how others navigate the tensions and trade-offs in complex settings and collaborative working; build and strengthen the relationships which need to work better.

 From many years experience of working with leaders making change happen, our focus is on key leadership capacities which include:

  • The importance of living your organisation's core vision and values.

  • The necessity of developing confidence and courage to take hard decisions and adapt to change - and the resilience to see it through.

  • The need to engage constructively with people and value what they bring to the table.

  • The importance of integrity, trust, self-awareness and empathy.

  • Influencing, communicating and inspiring others to follow you.

  • Encouraging the development of others as leaders.

It is about impact and legacy — leaving your team and organisation, in a better place.
