The Art of Leading Together: How to develop your Collaborative Advantage

Here's an open lecture I gave at the Institute For Leadership And Sustainability (IFLAS) in Cumbria on 11th June 2019. Based on workshops I've been running since 2016, this talk squishes a full day's content into 57 mins. I suggest you start at 3m 32s to save yourself the intro whiffle. If you decide to watch, please give me feedback - I always love to hear what people find most interesting or useful so I can learn from that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f04B88cGP0&feature=emb_logo

Well that could not have gone better! I sensed everyone thoroughly enjoyed and benefited from the 2 days together. A huge amount of credit goes to you! Your style, flow of activities, your energy and gentle guidance was perfect- everyone said so!!

Mike has a rare talent for seeing to the heart of a situation and coming up with workable and innovative solutions. I’ve been very grateful for his experience, insight and support, and he has helped me make some difficult decisions with very good outcomes. He follows through, and by example, shows how it’s done

Great facilitation again this year. Your inputs from planning through to delivery have been invaluable. We’re getting better at this type of work due to your inputs.

Mike facilitated our Trustee away day very ably. His role was invaluable in allowing all of us to be active participants, rather than worrying about whether the process and timings were on track. He asked challenging questions at key points to make sure we covered the ground we wanted to

A good and safe space to air some challenging issues that the staff team are facing. Often covering issues that are hard to raise within teams or with senior management

I had attended an Open Spaces event previously and was highly sceptical about the format, but Mike’s professionalism, enthusiasm and sheer charm ensured that it was an excellent event, yielding tangible results and starting the process of reconciliation that has transformed our organisation. Truly outstanding.

Thank you once again for a brilliant experience. I’ve never done anything quite like it and the sheer depth and diversity of what happened are still reverberating in my head.

Liked Mike & the way he ran the day. Being open was very relaxing, enabling you to choose what you wanted to be part of.

Thanks for the partnership session last week, it was really valuable to be part of that and to be in a space for focused thinking about what partnership means. I had quite a few ‘aha’ moments and valued the emphasis you put on building trust.

Today was a big success – well done. Feedback over drinks was very positive. There is a lot of goodwill, energy and support from attendees to help us take UKELA forward over the next couple of years.
