Pat Lynes has been consistently at the forefront of business evolutions impacting teams and human capital management. Lynes has utilized his experience as a senior figure in the UK recruitment sector to challenge the dominance of large consulting firms and inspire the future of work by founding Sullivan & Stanley (S&S). We spoke with Lynes on his entrepreneurial journey, how managers today should nurture teams differently, and why he believes that senior leaders need to better position themselves for a future where they control their options related to work. Some key takeaways from our conversation: - Executives are encouraged to explore freelance roles, step out of their comfort zones, and embrace opportunities in the freelance world. - This is why he wrote The Disruptive Executive book which offers a practical roadmap for executives to transition to a plural portfolio executive arrangement. - He believes that practicing gratitude can significantly impact one's outlook on life, leading to a more fulfilling and balanced life. - He urges business leaders to implement programs focused on health and wellness, as well as strategies to position employees for success citing that this is crucial for team development and collective growth. - Entrepreneurship is a team effort that requires prioritizing employee development and well-being for enhanced engagement and performance.

This milestone marks a significant step in Solidroad's mission to transform the way companies train their customer-facing teams. The funding round was led by an impressive lineup of investors, including Dan Kiely (co-founder of Voxpro), Jack Pierce (co-founder of Wayflyer), Ciaran Lee (co-founder of Intercom), Anne Heraty of CPL, and Louise Phelan, former PayPal executive.

Inspired by the transformative power of AI, he partnered with Patrick, who had showcased the impressive capabilities of AI in a language learning app he built. Their vision: to provide personalised assessment and training at scale for large enterprises using cutting-edge AI technology. "Solidroad currently is like a 'flight-simulator' for customer facing teams," explains Mark Hughes, co-founder and CEO of Solidroad. "Our software allows CX agents to practise realistic conversations with AI prospects and customers, receiving personalised performance feedback from our AI coach. This approach significantly enhances skills, reduces ramp times, and increases training effectiveness." Solidroad's platform has already garnered attention from industry leaders, with design partner customers such as ActiveCampaign, Ryanair, and Three Mobile experiencing the benefits of personalised, scalable training. The software's ability to simulate real customer interactions and deliver personalised training at scale is particularly advantageous for companies with high volumes of customer engagements and ongoing staff training needs. "We're excited to use this investment to bring our vision to more businesses, helping them improve their training processes and ultimately their customer experience outcomes," says Patrick Finlay, co-founder and CTO of Solidroad. "This funding is a testament to the hard work of our team and the trust our investors have in our potential."

Today, I'm having a GAS with Rania and Trevor Robinson, respectively the CEO and Founder / ECD of Quiet Storm. -- At the age of 11, Trevor Robinson's school careers advisor told him that he'd have more chance of being a bus driver than working in advertising. Despite the early obstacles he faced getting into the industry, he has managed to forge a hugely successful career for himself over the last three decades. In 1995 he founded Quiet Storm, one of the first agencies to write, direct and produce its own work – a model which it still uses today, and has seen it create award-winning work including You've Been Tango-ed and Haribo's Kids Voices campaign. Rania Robinson came to the UK from Egypt at the age of 3. Starting school at age 4 not speaking a word of English sparked a life-long passion for and fascination with forming connections and meaningful communication. Having spent most of her career in non-traditional agencies in both account leadership and strategic roles she has worked with some of the world's best known brands including Three Mobile, Mercedes, Stella Artois, Coca Cola and Innocent with a particular focus on brand building and experience. Since joining Quiet Storm seven years ago, she has brought a 360° perspective and new energy to the agency, helping extend its service offer and broaden sector experience, delivering considerable growth in the process. -- Having a GAS™ is the podcast that talks to the great and the good of the creative industries, and in particular finds out what makes great music for film, for TV, for advertising; for dancing to, for cooking to, f*cking to, and more... -- Quiet Storm are a creative agency and production company who look to transform businesses, lives and society through creativity. Creativity born from meaningful and powerful insights and long-lasting strategy. Ideas that can live anywhere and everywhere and have the ability to emotionally connect with people to change the way they think, feel and behave. They call these ideas Mindbombs™. -- GAS™ Music is a music production agency in Manchester, UK. We compose and produce original music, create awe inspiring sound design and have a fully integrated audio post-production studio.

www.rachelmatthewswriter.co.uk/post/kim-sprague @rachelmatthewswrites / @creativeconnectionspod My guest this week is Kim Sprague, the founder of Flamingo Life. She has over 12-years experience supporting corporate executives through change, and female leaders to launch and grow businesses, she’s worked with corporate clients such as Three Mobile, Coca Cola, Shelf Help and London School of Business. Kim has a background in communications and marketing where she worked as a Senior Comms Manager at Penguin Random House UK moving on to the Head of Communications for a government start-up before retraining as a yoga teacher and coach. She has consciously created her version of balance between coaching, founding Flamingo Life and being a parent. She has recently launched her business mentoring and training membership called the Impact and Income Tribe and will be releasing the next series of her ‘Her Balanced Business’ podcast very soon. Supporting Yourself Through Change Kim talks me through navigating her own change from a communications and marketing career to retraining as a yoga teacher and later as a business, leadership and career coach. Increasing Creativity and Maximising Your Potential Kim advocates for projecting a positive kind of energy to draw in what you want, whether that is to be more creative or have more clients, accompanied by a good balance of hustle and flow. Building Your Confidence and Resilience Through Mindset Kim shares her coaching insights and own experience into increasing creativity, confidence and talks on how they are muscles that can be trained over time. I love how she is open with the amount she has put herself out there in the hope of opportunities, as well as accepting the reality of receiving frequent 'no's early on in her career. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I loved chatting with Kim, and if you do, make sure to subscribe to be the first to hear the latest episodes. Thank you!
