Did you know that investing in learning and development for your people can boost your business performance, productivity and profitability? 📈 According to the latest market data from Statistics Isle of Man, the Isle of Man economy grew by 3.5% in 2022, driven by sectors such as e-business, professional services and construction. These sectors also reported higher levels of employee satisfaction, engagement and retention, thanks to their investment in learning and development programmes. 🌟 But learning and development is not just about training courses. It's about creating a culture of continuous improvement, innovation and growth for your people. It's about identifying the skills gaps and needs of your organisation and finding the best solutions to address them. It's about empowering your people to take ownership of their own development and supporting them along the way. 🙌 That's where I can help. At Rock Consulting, I am an expert in learning and development for businesses both on the Isle of Man and further afield, across a variety of sectors. I can help you with budgeting, skills mapping and development plans for your people. I can also offer you innovative ways to develop your people and provide additional support through coaching and mentoring. 🤝 If you are interested in learning more about how I can help you grow the skills in your business, please contact me at www.rockconsulting.online or [email protected] . I would love to hear from you to learn more about your development needs, over a coffee perhaps. ☕

I’m looking forward to delivering a Masterclass on Overcoming Fear of Failure tomorrow to a group of small business owners on behalf of The ASE Group It’s part of a series of Masterclasses about empowerment and overcoming fears as an entrepreneur One piece of advice in the Masterclass is the Buddhist teaching of giving up attachment to outcomes Part of the path to empowerment is to give up your own sense of empowerment. To do your best and to welcome any outcome as a validation or new learning #entrepreneurship #businesscoach #coaching #smallbusiness 🙏

Great to meet Edward Ephraim at today's Gatwick Diamond Business meeting, and his great question: "What's the main theme that you see in your business coaching work?". Hmm. Interesting. There's no one theme, but three do come up again and again more often than the rest. Number One: when I'm working with teams - management teams or operational teams or across the threshold where the two meet - it's communication. Almost never about the *content* of communication, almost always about communication *style*. I regularly see people with great skills, shared beliefs and values and (at least to start with) great respect for each other experiencing breakdown in professional and personal relationships because they have different communication styles. Catch it early and it's just a healthy rupture-and-repair cycle, and the repair process makes the relationship stronger than ever. Catch it too late and the damage can be too deeply entrenched and sometimes the best you can hope for is more-or-less benign toleration. And if neither party is willing to experiment with adapting their communication style (because, obvs, it's the other guy needs to do that) then all hell can break loose and it's a parting of the ways (Surely this never happens in personal relationships too 🤔 🙄 ? Discuss). Number Two: when I'm working with solo business owners, the most common theme is getting stuff done. Not the client stuff - that's always the top priority - or the easy-and-fun, illusion-of-progress stuff, it's the stuff that will *genuinely* grow the business and make next year better than this year. Michael Gerber coined that phrase more than three decades ago and it's a real issue, especially for solo business owners: most know it's a thing but few consistently do it! Which is why so many are in the feast-and-famine cycle. Number Three: Whoever I'm working with there is almost universally a challenge around clarity. Clarity of options. Clarity of priorities. Clarity of symptoms. Clarity of diagnosis. Clarity of outcome. Clarity of action. Clarity of resources. Clarity of measurement. The list goes on. Which means, I guess, that the first challenge is to get clear about where the clarity is lacking! Your thoughts? Thanks to Gatwick Diamond Business for a great meeting as ever and especially to Dee Mathieson for her inspirational words. Lovely to chat with Charlie Lloyd - CIPD, Sally Brown, Mark Vaesen, Shaun Amedee, Arabella Alexander DipPFS, Amanda Lusted about her wonderful charity Ten Tiny Toes (check them out), Louella Flooks, Mike Bosnovic. And always so heart-breaking and heart-warming to be reminded by Ian Wilkins about the impact Crawley Open House has on real lives in our local community. I frequently walk into these big meetings feeling 'oh no, here we go again' when I see a crowd of anonymous backs, but I almost always come away feeling inspired, entertained and educated. Note to self, though: take more selfies to make posts more interesting 🤦‍♂️ ! xx

If you are in a business where teamwork is the engine that fuels your products and services and engage your customers - September is under the powerful vibration of 33, a number of significant influence, representing double threes and triple elevens. This suggests that September will be a highly transformative month, particularly in the realms of community, group dynamics, and the collective consciousness. https://lnkd.in/gDQwjZVX

"Strategic Planning" All too often family run businesses are missing some deep strategic planning, “so what” I hear you say? If you are running a business, working hard, juggling clients, staff, money and then on top of all that, family, ageing parents, children and a home… You are inevitably committed to working hard… right? There is nothing wrong with working hard, but what we want to know… …is all this hard work worth it, right? Well, that's where strategic planning comes in… It’s about stopping long enough to figure out what the big picture is, identifying the real numbers, profit, sales targets and measurable activities, so you can be more efficient with your time, make more money and have an easier life… In other words a plan to follow that makes sense to you and the big picture of your life. You’d be amazed at how many people don’t do this strategic planning exercise and as the saying goes, “if you aim at nothing, you’ll probably hit it…” I’ve currently got space for 6 clients to work with specifically on strategy, I’ve got 2 onboard and 1 probably going to join us for 2025… … if you want to join them and build your big picture strategy and get some clarity on the next 5 years, DM me and let’s talk, If you're not sure who I am, how I work, check me out on a free short training video nothing to buy, no sign up https://lnkd.in/ezJU4H5Y

Business coach versus business owner coach - two similar titles but a very different focus. At The Alternative Board, we are business owner coaches, making the “owner” the focus of our coaching session, rather than the business. When you’re an SME you are often the business. And we know that. https://buff.ly/3UJtOTP
