Leader Development

The Drill Company

“On a personal level, Lynn continues to challenge me and make me go to places I wouldn’t normally want (or dare) to go. Her ‘hunch’ is almost magical in how quickly she pinpoints what’s really going on! She also provides the feedback, challenge and accountability that others don’t or are afraid to offer when in a leadership position or running a business.”

Susie Burdekin

Director

Leader Development

“My 360 and the sessions with you had a big impact, particularly in making me more sensitive to how members of my team felt about working with me and about my expectations of them (and my patience!) and these are things that I’ve worked on a lot. Thanks for supporting me to be better.”

Professor Julian Chaudhuri

Signature Programme – Lead with Impact

“I’ve done several presentations where I have slowed down my delivery, highlighted the telegram words and I have been short and concise. I’ve received useful feedback that people have been able to understand the key messages and welcome a presentation without PowerPoint, being able to focus directly on what I was saying rather than staring at a screen.”

Jane Atherton

Signature Programme – Lead with Impact

“I wanted to send you an update on what has been a significant week. Based on our last conversation and on reading your weekly blog posts I’ve been preparing for the conversation we spoke about and thinking hard about what I want the team to focus on during our forthcoming away day.

I made the focus of the conversation ‘how can we work better together?’ and that opened up a wide-ranging, honest and hugely constructive conversation. We’ve now got a clear agreement on tasks he can take off my plate and have autonomy over. This allows me more time to focus on the overall management of the team and strategy development and gives him a challenging project and autonomy. I think we both finished that meeting feeling supported, clear and confident on the way forward.

I’m working to prepare our team away day which, in light of your advice, is going to focus on how we work together rather than what we work on. I’m also dedicating 1 of our existing team meetings per season for us to review this moving forward and set up 2 creative planning meetings per season to encourage collaborative working across the team and mutual support/idea sharing.

Finally, I met with our Chief Executive yesterday. This was the second meeting since my Lead with Impact training and she organised it to ask me if I would like a year’s worth of mentoring with her meeting on a 6-8 weekly basis. I’m gobsmacked! Of course I said yes!

I wanted to update you because all of this progress is because of the Lead with Impact course and the opportunity it gave me to think, to be challenged and to see different approaches. So thank you.”

Group Commercial Manager

Leader Development

Bauer Media

“Some of our leaders have been promoted, they’re generating more revenue, developing and motivating their own people and focusing much more on the important rather than the urgent.

Feedback from the delegates and their managers has been extremely positive. Lynn has a great ability to help leaders step up, take action and become more confident in their leadership roles – our leaders are diverse but she ensured everyone got the support and challenge they needed in very practical ways. Our leaders were talking about this course it created a real buzz around the Bauer Media offices. I would have no hesitation in working with Lynn again and highly recommend her to others.”
