I encourage the early career and mid career professionals I work with to showcase the great work they do. Generally people feel quite uncomfortable doing this. I sort of know why.

So in the spirit of role modelling what I teach I share a testimonial a week.

“We’re not just redeveloping a building—we’re prototyping a civic ecology.”

People often come to a business mentoring session worried about whether they are 'allowed' to talk about personal issues. Should they just focus on work related challenges?

No.

What if your next project wasn’t just about delivery but about legacy?

In my conversation with Eric Lybeck, we explored how social enterprise can bridge the gap between theory and action, especially in towns like Southport where regeneration needs more than investment.

Midlife dilemmas, feeling of being overlooked, dismissed, made redundant - all topics my coach clients bring. Steve talks about how he is trying to shift the needle for professional midlifers, including writing a book about it.

Entrepreneurs who are focused on social value and social mobility really do pack a punch. It is with total respect that I listened to these people at the social mobility Raise Up summit earlier this week.

What ideas do you have that will benefit others and leave an impactful legacy?

Do it today!

I learnt so much from talking to non traditional leaders who do it Thur own way. Added bonus they are committed to making the world better for the majority
