In an era where the healthcare landscape is constantly evolving, the role of NHS leaders has never been more crucial. Our recent panel discussion, titled "Empowering the NHS Leaders Through Continuous Learning," brought together a group of experts to shed light on the importance of ongoing education and training for leaders in the NHS.The conversation began with Sean Pusey from Pearson, who highlighted the significance of understanding emerging skills trends within the healthcare sector. With over 4.5 million individuals employed in the UK health and social care workforce, the demand for effective communication, teamwork, and patient care skills has reached an all-time high. As we look towards 2030, the need for leadership and emotional intelligence will only grow, especially as technology continues to reshape the way healthcare is delivered.Corinna Thomas from NHS England elaborated on the evolution of leadership and management training programmes. The introduction of a unified set of core leadership standards, as recommended by the MESSENGER review, aims to enhance the professional status of NHS managers and ensure consistent, accredited training across the board. This alignment with new competencies is essential for fostering effective leadership in an increasingly complex healthcare environment.Adele Kendrick, an Interim Organisational Development Consultant, emphasised the need for leaders to develop both relational and technical skills. As they navigate the complexities of modern healthcare, the ability to build strong relationships, communicate openly, and inspire teams will be paramount. These soft skills, alongside technical expertise, will enable leaders to foster a collaborative and inclusive workplace, ultimately improving patient care and staff morale.Amy Fornah, a Service Manager, shared her inspiring journey through a leadership apprenticeship. She spoke about how the programme not only boosted her confidence but also significantly impacted her career progression. By applying the skills learned during her training, Amy has successfully led her team through challenges, demonstrating the tangible benefits of continuous learning in leadership roles.The panel concluded with powerful insights on the importance of embracing continuous learning. Each panellist encouraged listeners to seek out opportunities for growth, whether through formal training, mentorship, or peer networks. As the NHS continues to face unprecedented challenges, investing in leadership development will be key to ensuring a resilient, future-ready workforce.For anyone looking to enhance their skills and contribute positively to the NHS, now is the time to embrace continuous learning. With the right support and resources, leaders can not only navigate the evolving healthcare landscape but also inspire those around them to do the same. Listen to our panel discussion to hear more about these vital insights and learn how you can be a part of this transformative journey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to the Arete Coach Podcast hosted by Severin Sorensen with an episode titled "Leading with Kindness: On Executive Coaching and Cultural Intelligence." In this episode, Severin engages with Dr. Krista Crawford, a distinguished Vistage Chair, speaker, consultant, professor, and leadership strategist. Krista holds a PhD in Organizational Management and is a Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR). With over 30 years of experience spanning human resources, organizational development, and executive leadership, she has significantly impacted leaders across corporate and nonprofit sectors. This episode was recorded on March 26th, 2025, via Zoom. Krista's journey into executive coaching and Vistage Chairing is as unique as it is inspiring. After decades in HR, where she led organizations with up to 8,000 employees, Krista transitioned into leadership coaching serendipitously during the COVID-19 pandemic. A neighbor introduced her to Vistage, leading to her eventual certification and the establishment of multiple peer advisory groups. Her career is deeply rooted in observing and addressing the human dynamics within organizations. Krista identified early the gaps in leadership development, particularly how some employees flourish while others feel disconnected. Her doctoral research focused on "social monitoring" and "cultural intelligence," exploring how individuals adapt and integrate into diverse cultural settings. Conducted in Belize with service-learning students, her research revealed that active engagement with local cultures significantly enhances cultural intelligence. Beyond her coaching, Krista serves as an adjunct professor at Virginia Tech and Champlain College, teaching leadership, ethics, and organizational development. She brings a rich blend of academic rigor and practical experience, leveraging her HR expertise, research acumen, and passion for continuous learning to guide executives and emerging leaders. Key Insights 1. The Art of Listening and Pausing Krista emphasizes the importance of listening to hear rather than listening to respond. In coaching, silence is a powerful tool, allowing clients to reflect deeply. She practices intentional breathing to create space for reflection and meaningful dialogue. 2. The Power of Vulnerability and Group Dynamics She highlights how vulnerability within peer groups fosters deeper trust and growth. Krista shared a pivotal moment when a group conflict tested cohesion; addressing it transparently strengthened the group's unity and resilience. 3. Job Crafting for Engagement Krista advocates for job crafting, encouraging leaders to engage employees in designing roles that align with their strengths and passions, thus enhancing satisfaction and retention. 4. Measuring Success Through Joy Joy serves as Krista's personal metric for professional fulfillment. She believes that work should bring joy and that leaders should reassess their roles when joy diminishes. 5. Use of Psychometrics and AI in Coaching Krista integrates tools like Wiley DiSC and various psychometric assessments to deepen understanding of team dynamics. She also creatively employs AI for ideation, content creation, and meeting preparation, demonstrating adaptability to emerging technologies. 6. Kindness and Continuous Learning as Guiding Values Krista's mantras of "kindness is underrated" and lifelong learning reflect her approach to leadership and coaching. She stresses the importance of being both kind and courageous in providing candid, constructive feedback. The Arete Coach Podcast explores the art and science of executive coaching.

Let's be honest, training can spark short-term results, but if you want long-term recruiting success, you need a team that lives in a growth mindset. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down how to create a learning culture that fuels consistency, creativity, and long-term momentum. This isn't about more courses or another playbook. It's about shaping a culture where people chase improvement, not because you make them, but because it's who they are. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Why most teams flatline after early wins—and how to fix it with a growth culture. [01:00] Step 1: Model It from the Top – If you're not growing, your team won't either. Share what you're learning and experimenting with. [02:00] Step 2: Build It Into the Rhythm – Weekly skill clinics, role plays, book clubs, and "teach-back" moments create learning momentum. [03:00] Step 3: Celebrate Growth Behaviors – Don't just recognize hires; reward script tweaks, learning reps, and initiative. [04:00] Step 4: Create Psychological Safety – Give your team permission to fail forward. Growth can't happen if fear dominates the room. [05:00] Step 5: Align Systems to Support Growth – Track and coach development behaviors, not just outputs. Reinforce the right things. [06:00] Final Challenge – Audit your culture. Ask: Are we learning? Sharing? Modeling? If not, start with one small rhythm and build from there. Key Takeaways You Set the Growth Ceiling – If you're not learning, neither is your team. Model curiosity, not just execution. Make Learning Normal – Growth won't scale if it's optional. Systematize it with intentional rhythms. Reward Process, Not Just Production – Celebrate the learner, not just the closer. Fail Forward, Together – Safe teams grow faster. Normalize iteration and experimentation. Track Growth Like You Track Results – If it matters, measure it. Progress becomes culture when it's visible. The strongest recruiting teams aren't the ones who have it all figured out—they're the ones who never stop improving. Build a culture where growth isn't just encouraged. It's expected.

Let's grow your team from the inside out.
Neil discusses the often overlooked challenge of what to do after achieving your goals. Drawing from his 26 years of experience in the tutoring business, Neil emphasises the importance of continuous growth and the dangers of complacency that can follow success. He shares personal anecdotes, including a pivotal moment during his glider training that led him to realise his true passion for teaching guitar. The episode encourages listeners to reassess their goals and maintain momentum by setting new targets, ensuring that the pursuit of meaningful achievements remains a lifelong journey. Tune in for practical tips and insights to help you stay motivated and engaged in your tutoring, teaching, or coaching business. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Importance of Goal Setting: Setting specific, stretch goals is crucial for personal and professional growth. Writing down these goals helps maintain focus and motivation. Avoiding the Trap of Complacency: Achieving a goal can lead to a sense of completion, which may result in a lack of direction and motivation. It's essential to continually ask, "What's next?" after reaching a goal. Continuous Learning and Growth: A fulfilling life involves ongoing learning and the pursuit of new goals. Stopping after achieving a target can lead to feelings of emptiness and stagnation. Reassessing Goals: Regularly revisiting and adjusting goals is vital. After achieving certain milestones, it's important to set new objectives to maintain momentum and purpose. Finding Meaningful Activities: Engaging in activities that truly resonate with you can help sustain motivation and happiness. It's important to identify what brings you joy and fulfillment beyond initial successes. BEST MOMENTS "When you've hit your targets and you stop, you might have a vague idea that there's something missing from your life." "A happy life is a life that has a purpose and a meaning. A life that is full of growth and pursuit of worthy goals." "I think I'd rather be playing my guitar. Oh, said the backseat. It was a long silence. I think I'm done here, I said." "What happens after you start achieving some of them? The end of this year's goals are only the beginning of whatever you decide to do after you nail those goals." "Make sure never to outrun or beat your goals. Keep moving the goalposts further forward, like a ratchet."

In this episode, we are joined by S&C coach for Arete Performance, Tom Farrow. What does creative play mean to you? Learning is so important because we need to acquire knowledge so that we can implement that and start developing. However, learning is so much more than just memorising information. We need to ask lots of different questions so then we can get our hands dirty by lots of different types of trial and error to not only retain information but also acquire new knowledge that we can apply in our respective fields. In this episode, Tom joins me because creativity is such an important topic for both of us and we talk about how we implement this in education and strength and conditioning.In this episode, we discuss:00:00 Introduction03:59 Creative Approaches in Sports06:44 Street Sports Encourage True Creativity12:09 Creativity and Process in Mindsets13:49 Personality Dynamics in Feedback Loops16:17 Connecting with Athletes Through "Why"20:12 "Balancing Chaos in Coaching"25:10 Balancing Chaos and Structure28:42 Structuring a Department for Success31:44 Unified Team on a Shared Journey35:03 Understanding Frameworks and Personality Dynamics39:51 "Solving Sports Problems: Agility Focus"40:49 "Balancing Sports Coaching Perspectives"44:22 Embracing Adaptive Frameworks48:00 "Balancing Coaching Experience and Education"53:58 "Mastery Insights from Bruce Lee"55:20 "Embrace Reality and Openness"TakeawaysBalancing Order and Chaos: Tom emphasises the importance of finding the right balance between order and chaos to enhance performance.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: Train Your Mind Like You Train Your Swing: The mental game isn't optional. It's the foundation for success. What You Consume Shapes Your Thoughts: Social media, negativity, and poor influences affect your game more than you realize. Practice Must Simulate Pressure: If your practice isn't harder than competition, you're not preparing properly. Detach from Outcomes, Stay Present: Golf is unpredictable—accept it, embrace it, and play freely. Success is Built on Objectivity, Not Emotion: Learn to evaluate your shots with facts, not feelings. Play More, Practice Smarter: A perfect swing isn't the answer—playing in real conditions builds skill and adaptability. Your Why Matters More Than Your How: Understand why you play, and your path to success becomes clearer. Key Quotes: "You think the thoughts you consume—be careful what you feed your mind." "The best players don't beat themselves; they stay present, focused, and in control." "To gain control, you have to lose control. You can't force success." "Every round has setbacks. The difference between great and average players is how they respond." "Golf is not black and white—it's 50 shades of green." "The scorecard only has a box for a number, not a narrative. Stop trying to control the story." "The more we sweat in peace, the less we bleed in war."

Alex Freytag's "Stretch Not Snap" is a business fable that addresses a common challenge faced by entrepreneurial companies: how to transform the employee mindset into one of ownership, engagement, and shared vision, particularly through the strategic implementation of incentive plans.The book builds upon the foundation laid in another business fable book by Gino Wickman and Mike Paton's "Get A Grip”. Freytag revisits the characters of Vic and Eileen, the leaders of Swan Services, as they navigate the next phase of their entrepreneurial journey.The story opens with Vic and Eileen facing a growing frustration. While their company, Swan Services, has successfully implemented the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) – gaining traction, clarity on priorities, and leadership team alignment – they observe a fundamental disconnect among their employees. Despite the company's progress and the leaders' dedication, a prevailing "me-first" or "entitlement" mentality has taken root. Employees seem to expect bonuses and rewards merely for showing up, rather than genuinely connecting their daily efforts to the company's overarching vision and financial health. This disengagement is stifling Swan Services' potential and preventing the full realization of its culture.The core of "Stretch Not Snap" is the unfolding of the ProfitWorks Solution, a methodology designed to create a self-funded incentive plan that genuinely drives employee engagement and financial results. The fable illustrates this solution through the practical challenges and successes faced by Vic, Eileen, and their team. The essence of the ProfitWorks Solution revolves around six key principles:1. Financial Literacy and Transparency2. Identifying Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Leading Measures3. The Self-Funded Incentive Plan4. Ending the Entitlement Mentality5. Sharing the Vision and Building Ownership6.

#567 Allie Siarto is a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in East Lansing, Michigan, and host of the Photo Field Notes podcast. The episode is a deep dive into the importance of creating a world-class experience for portrait clients, a factor Allie emphasizes as crucial for building client loyalty and generating referrals in the photography business. Through engaging stories and clear advice, Allie illustrates how exceptional service, thoughtful preparation, and emotional connections often outweigh technical perfection in client satisfaction.KEY TOPICS COVEREDThe Power of Client Experience Over Technical Perfection - Allie explains that while technical skill is important, the client's emotional experience during the shoot has a greater impact on their satisfaction. Providing guidance, being prepared, and making clients comfortable often leads to higher perceived value and greater word-of-mouth referrals.Practical Steps for Improving Client Experience - Major points include communicating proactively (e.g., style guides, prep emails), planning for logistics (like family lists and timeline management), dressing professionally, and using prompts to create genuine moments. Real-world examples such as helping clients find venues or ensuring parents feel included underscore how small efforts make a big difference.Continuous Learning and Reflection - Allie shares her own learning curve, including mistakes (like not asking parents if they wanted more photos), and details how she implements those lessons to continually improve. The importance of treating early years in business as an extension of education is highlighted, encouraging listeners to seek feedback and view setbacks as opportunities.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSClient Experience: The cumulative impressions and feelings that clients have throughout their interactions with a photographer, from initial inquiry to final image delivery. Ensuring a positive client experience can be a greater predictor of success and referrals than technical image quality alone.Unposed Posing: A posing style that uses prompts and interactive questions to evoke natural expressions and genuine emotion, rather than traditional, static posing. This approach helps even uncomfortable clients relax, leading to more authentic and memorable images.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow do you currently manage the experience of your clients before, during, and after a shoot? What areas can you improve based on Allie's advice?Think about a time you had a remarkable or disappointing service experience (outside of photography). What specific factors made the difference, and how can you apply those lessons to your photography business?RESOURCES:Visit Allie Siarto's Website - http://alliesiarto.com/Follow Allie Siarto on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/alliesiarto/Grab your free 52 Lightroom Presets athttp://freephotographypresets.com/ Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

This episode of Cruising Altitude features a conversation with Sally Massey, Chief Human Resources Officer at Colgate-Palmolive. Sally and host Nicole Alvino discuss key strategies for building a stronger and more innovative workforce through upskilling, creating personalized employee experiences, and leveraging diverse perspectives. Sally shares her experiences and insights from her nearly 25-year tenure at Colgate, including the importance of communication, inclusion, employee trust, and adapting to changing employee expectations. The conversation also highlights how AI and continuous learning initiatives contribute to employee development and organizational growth.Quotes“ We upskilled everyone so that everybody understood the positives to using AI and also what they needed to watch out for in terms of AI. And then we gave them access to a hub where they could start practicing and using it for their daily work. We're finding that there is a community within Colgate that people are sharing ideas. They're learning from one another. They're sharing best practices. They're getting efficiency in their work.”“ We try to really use lots of different ways to communicate, whether that's through digital, whether that's through workshops, whether that's through written communication, whether that's through webcasts because people absorb it in different ways. And so it is personalizing the message, but also personalizing the vehicle so that they can get the information.”“ For myself leading in times of change, I like to get my team together so that we can talk through, brainstorm, challenge each other. And I really think that you get to a better place when you bring in a lot of different perspectives. Perspectives from different backgrounds, different geographies. I think you get to a better answer. And so for me it's about bringing people together with different perspectives so that we can get to a better outcome.”Time Stamps[03:15] Meet Sally Massey[07:23] Strategies for personalizing experiences across generations[09:10] How employee expectations have shifted[13:24] Colgate's AI journey[19:26] The importance of diversity of thought[21:29] Sally's place of clarity and perspectiveLinksConnect with Sally on LinkedInThank you to our friendsThis episode is brought to you by Firstup, the world's first intelligent communication platform.

One case involved a patient with a herniated disc impacting the S1 nerve root. The patient experienced muscle weakness and numbness in the foot. Through FSM, we used a frequency combination tailored specifically for this condition, which led to remarkable recovery. The treatment helped the muscles regain strength and improved the patient's foot sensation. This case highlights FSM's potential in restoring nerve functionality and relieving symptoms of herniated discs. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: Managing the Challenges Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) presents unique challenges due to its impact on connective tissues. Patients often suffer from joint pain and hypermobility. Through FSM, we address these challenges by focusing on balancing the autonomic nervous system and improving connective tissue function. For instance, a patient with EDS experienced significant relief by treating both nerve dysfunction and connective tissue issues. This holistic approach can substantially enhance quality of life for those with EDS. Genital Neuralgia: Finding Relief Genital neuralgia, often misunderstood and misdiagnosed, can be extremely distressing. FSM can offer relief by targeting the nerve roots and reducing inflammation. In a case involving pudendal neuralgia, the patient benefited from specific frequencies that eased nerve pain and muscle tension. Proper diagnosis and a targeted FSM approach can help alleviate symptoms and improve daily functioning. Addressing Autoimmune Conditions FSM also shows promise in treating autoimmune conditions like scleroderma and myasthenia gravis. By modulating the immune response and reducing inflammation, FSM can help manage these complex disorders. Understanding the triggers and underlying causes of autoimmune dysfunction is crucial in tailoring effective treatment strategies. The Importance of a Tailored Approach One of the key takeaways in applying FSM is the importance of a personalized treatment plan. Each condition and patient requires a unique combination of frequencies and a thorough understanding of their specific challenges. The ability to adapt and modify treatment protocols is what makes FSM a valuable tool in integrative medicine. Continuous Learning and Innovation FSM training is vital for practitioners eager to expand their treatment options. As our understanding of frequency-specific applications grows, so does the potential to provide relief for patients with challenging conditions. Staying informed and embracing new techniques is crucial for practitioners dedicated to offering holistic care solutions.
