Building Better Bosses One Brick at a Time!
What do you get when you mix oodles of LEGO, a pile of awesome HR pros, and the brilliance of Debra Corey, Ken Corey, and me?
Only the BESTEST training there ever was!
Last week, we delivered Step Up Your Greatness – a taster workshop packed with energy, insight, and a whole lot of laughter.
And the feedback?
Let’s just say, if this were a sitcom, you’d all be binge-watching it! 🍿
“The question that’s easier to answer is ‘what wasn’t my fave part of the day?’ I loved all of it!!!”
“I think I may have to make this my homepage. It’s living proof of collaboration and joy!”
And the best part?
It wasn’t just about the LEGO
(although, let’s be honest, that helped! 😉).
It was about incredible people coming together to learn, share, and build something meaningful – whether that’s better bosses, stronger teams, or just unforgettable memories.
Want in on the action next time?
Keep an eye out – we’ll be bringing the Step Up Your Greatness magic to more locations soon!
From Serial Killers to Self-Awareness
I flippin’ love a podcast – although my pod listens are often more around serial killers…
I got to join the lovely Dr Nia D Thomas FRSA on her Knowing Self Knowing Others Podcast
We talked about so much, and had a great time: it was hard to pick just three nuggets –
💛 Self-Awareness as a Foundation for Leadership: the crucial role self-awareness plays in effective leadership. Knowing your strengths, gaps, and how to communicate effectively with your team is a game-changer.
💛 Creating Pockets of Safety: the importance of fostering safe spaces where employees can express themselves and feel supported. This is essential, especially in high-stress environments, to prevent burnout and ensure healthy workplace relationships.
💛 Engaging Learning through Activity-Led Training: Traditional training methods might not always resonate. Innovative approaches to training with activities like LEGO building encourages deeper learning and engagement, making it memorable and impactful.
