This CIPD comment does acknowledge the need to take on board the needs of older workers but with their numbers increasing and the numbers of new workers decreasing this is one thing employers cannot afford to ignore. They need to address the haemorrhaging of much needed talent not just for themselves but for all the alternative avenues they might consider after their professional services career. Teaching, charities, mental health, you name it, they have so much to offer. Victoria Tomlinson FRSA at NextUp has taken this issue by the scruff of the neck and, focusing initially on professional services is running with it. Firms sign up for courses offering a forum to support older employees in realising that there are far more possibilities either within their current firm or in other settings, than they realised. The energy levels displayed are heart warming as the blinders are taken off.

Busy HR Directors are facing unique challenges in today’s business landscape - developing resilient, successful and harmonious workforces - delivering compelling employee value propositions - protecting the organisation from external change and challenge - embedding HR strategies that contribute to long-term sustainability and growth In this fast-paced ever-changing environment it’s critical that teams are emotionally resilient, mentally focused, engaged and high performing. That's where I come in! With 20 years’ experience in leadership and people development roles, I’ve seen many of the challenges of modern-day workplaces - stress, burnout, change, disengaged teams and lack of leadership trust.

Are you intrigued? If so, please come along to my FREE webinar this week where you can try out brain based tools and practices that can help you to combat stress and burnout, and build your resilience at work. You'll learn tools you can immediately start using using, both in your professional and personal lives, to create positive and meaningful change for yourself and your teams.

Support in creating boundaries to prevent burnout and address challenges around stress / emotional fatigue of managing work, co-parenting (and a potential new relationship, if relevant).     2️⃣ Self Discovery and Emotional Resilience Tools 🧰 Building emotional resilience and coping mechanisms to deal with stress, guilt, and difficult emotions in a healthier way.

This week, I'm in Nottingham learning the art of workplace mediation from the amazing Pragmatism (UK) Ltd team. Why? Because workplace conflict happens - a lot! It can cripple productivity and morale. But handled well, conflict can be a catalyst for growth and innovation. Great leaders don't shy away from tough conversations – they use them to build trust and find solutions that benefit everyone. Investing in your conflict resolution skills is an investment in you, your team, your company culture, and ultimately, your bottom line. So, ditch the misery and let's embrace open communication and constructive problem-solving. What's your biggest challenge when facing conflict at work? 🤔 #Leadership #Communication #ConflictResolution #Coaching #Mediation

Over a few decades (gosh!) analyzing, advising and now consulting to organizations I have witnessed a seismic shift. More consistently, ‘Purpose’ is entering the room and taking a seat at the table. It’s simple yet profound. When purpose genuinely resonates with leadership, staff and customers it creates a force far more powerful than profit alone. The verdict is clear: Companies that authentically embed purpose as their North Star outperform their peers. Why? Because intrinsic motivation always trumps external incentives in the end. In today’s market, purpose isn’t just nice to have - it’s a competitive imperative.

It’s always interesting what comes out of the Listening Partnerships with Rebecca Daniel (ICF PCC, EMCC Snr Practitioner, ESIA) and Sarah Bramall PCC, Senior Prac EMCC, and last week was no different. I posted recently about aligning my services and pricing with my values, but realised I missed out a big one: comfort! Comfort is a massive deal for me - not just in business, but in life. I’m all about pyjama days, fluffy slippers, and prioritising comfort over fashion (though I’m sure I could have both if I dedicated some time to it). I’ve dealt with eczema for years, and leaving clinical nursing where I was often dehydrated, constantly handwashing, and eating erratically, did wonders for my skin. But since the birth of my kids, I’ve developed psoriasis, and that brings a whole new level of discomfort. I’ve thrown emollients, steroids, vitamins and all sorts of weird and wonderful things at it over the past six years and it has been frustrating. But last Friday was the final straw: I realised I needed to change something significantly when showering made me cry. I was in so much pain and I needed to take back some control. I made a drastic decision and decided to reset. I decided to cut out some of the things reported to be linked to flare-ups: caffeine, added sugar, and alcohol. Just for a week. It was harder than I expected. I don’t drink much alcohol, but cutting out 3–4 cups of sweet coffee a day hit me like a tonne of bricks: headaches, muscle pain, exhaustion. My body screamed for caffeine, and I felt ridiculous. How did I let myself get so dependent on something that my body rebelled without it? I’d be lying if I said I don’t feel a bit embarrassed! Here’s the thing though – as you all probably guessed, my psoriasis improved drastically in just five days. So now I need to work out my priorities: keep up the caffeine or slowly reintroduce it and see what happens? I’ll work it out, but what struck me was that constant cycle of frustration and discomfort led me to just keep adding things to my body and lifestyle in a hope that the combination would make things better; sometimes all we need is to just go back to basics. My body craved comfort, fought back when I removed what I thought was comforting it, but is now healing and feeling so much better. What tells you you’re missing something vital? How do you reset to focus on getting to the source of the problem? ________________________________________ 👋 I’m Kat, and I’m here to help.

📍Professional Development Plans 📍 Does your organisation have a PDP framework to support your continuous learning? It’s critical that PDPs align with a position description, organisation priorities and offer quality outcomes for participants. Finding the right course for your needs can be tricky. How do you choose professional development?

These illuminating bite-sized articles explore the idea that delivering quality coaching requires coaches to address their development holistically and put the 'Personal' into Professional Development (CPPD). Julia Carden PhD, PCC, FCIPD and Dr Elizabeth Crosses' research highlighted that "the route to deep client connection, which enables coaches to work at a level of insight and change, comes from the work on self and self-awareness", asking us to consider how learning and development choices might enhance how we are being rather than what we are doing as a coach. They offer the following questions as points of reflection when planning your CPPD:  + What is the purpose of my development (for me, my clients and the systems we live and work in)?  + What is the difference I want to make? + What am I curious about? + What does my soul need? + What is my body telling me that I need to pay attention to? #selfcompassion #selfreflection #selfconnection #selfawareness #coachdevelopment #bestpractice #coachingsupervision
