Quiet Leadership
Sea Salt Publishing
See publicationWhen Organisations talk about leadership, they mark out a journey that is 10,000 steps long. Quiet Leadership is about the first three steps.
It’s an exploration of leadership in the smallest of things: our mindset, our words and our actions, in every single day. It’s not about a grand aspiration, about formal objectives, or big development programmes. It’s not about the formal power you have been given, your ability to influence at scale, or the varied ways you exert control. It’s…When Organisations talk about leadership, they mark out a journey that is 10,000 steps long. Quiet Leadership is about the first three steps.
It’s an exploration of leadership in the smallest of things: our mindset, our words and our actions, in every single day. It’s not about a grand aspiration, about formal objectives, or big development programmes. It’s not about the formal power you have been given, your ability to influence at scale, or the varied ways you exert control. It’s not about ‘one’ way of leading, but rather about a multitude of ways, and specifically about how you find ‘your’ way.
Quiet Leadership is about the ways we are with each other in every moment, and how those varied ‘ways’ of being come together to give us the thing we call culture today. It’s a practice that recognises that all cultures have edges, all communities have boundaries, and our impact is felt more in the shadows than in the light that we face. Quiet Leadership is a reflective practice, not to see the version of ourselves that we already know, but, rather, to discover ourselves in how others see us.
Leadership in our reflection; leadership in our shadow. Leadership in our impact, through every action every day. -
The Socially Dynamic Organisation: a new model of Organisational Design
Sea Salt Publishing
See publicationA strange feature of Organisations is that they cast a massive shadow onto their own future. The things that we do, the ways that we do them and the successes that we have are all held in the footprint that we land upon the earth.
For Organisations, this footprint lies in assets, buildings, Reputation, Hierarchy, products and wealth.

The things that we do, the ways that we do them and the successes that we have are all held in the footprint that we land upon the earth.
For Organisations, this footprint lies in assets, buildings, Reputation, Hierarchy, products and wealth. It is in the nature of Organisations to accrete both things and ways of doing things.Some of these legacies are huge; hence, the shadows that they cast are long.
But the thing about a shadow is that it should fall away from us. It should fall back into the past, whilst our future lies ahead where we are often blinded by the light.Our challenge is to create a type of Organisation that respects this legacy but aims firmly towards the future, grounded in the brilliance of its people today.For a new type of world, we will need a new type of Organisation: one that is lightweight and rapidly adaptable, that thrives in times of constant change, that respects the old but embraces the new.We need an Organisation that is deeply fair to its people and to the societies within which it operates.
We need an Organisation that can change without becoming breathless, is innovative without massive effort and has a high level of engagement because it has earned it.In other words, we need the impossible: the best of both worlds—an Organisation that is safe and old, yet dynamic and new.This book paints a picture charting a path from our old ‘Domain’-based Organisation to a new type of ‘Dynamic’ one.In fact, to a ‘Socially Dynamic’ one. -
Finding Your Campfire: A Remote Working Survival Guide
Sea Salt Publishing
See publicationWe have been thrust into a new way of working, with little time to prepare for the expedition: we are in the wilderness, and must take time to Pause – Refresh – Renew. This crisis presents two possible outcomes for our Organisations:
They may look to survive, and then put the story behind them.
They may view it as a chance to learn and prototype new ways of working, demonstrate their fairness towards their community, coming out of this stronger and better.

They may look to survive, and then put the story behind them.
They may view it as a chance to learn and prototype new ways of working, demonstrate their fairness towards their community, coming out of this stronger and better.
In this emergency Social Age Guidebook, Julian Stodd is sharing a body of work that looks at three things:
Packing your Backpack: how we individually cope with the Remote experience. We explore the separation of space, time and boundaries, and caring for each other.
Leading the Expedition: how we lead Remote teams, creating a place for them to be, trade in social currencies, and recognise and respect the effort.
Being Together Apart: how culture is reborn in our Remote space, how we write a shared story, and our responsibility to build and hold trust safely.
Finding Your Campfire: A Remote Working Survival Guide is the latest of the Social Age Guidebooks, each of which builds out Julian’s core work, exploring the evolving nature of leadership and culture in our new world. -

‘To the Moon and Back: Leadership Reflections from Apollo’ tells eight stories from the engineering, through to the people themselves, who came together to write the greatest story of a generation.
It considers the technology of the vast rockets that powered the Saturn V, the complexity of the control systems that guided it to the moon, and the frail humans who piloted it back again.
Around each of these stories, i tease out my personal Leadership Reflections: considering the things we can take forwards. Not just stories of success, but meditations on complexity, failure, and control.

See publicationThe Trust Sketchbook is a guided, reflective, journey, through the Landscape of Trust. It’s a half drawn, half complete, book, which provides context, structure, and the blank space for you to capture your own understanding of exactly what trust is, and how it flows through Organisations.

Julian’s work explores the complex social systems that permeate through our Organisations today: trust is one of the governing forces at play in these spaces. Since 2016, Julian has been spearheading the global Landscape of Trust research project, exploring what trust means to different people, and how it works in Organisations, and this Trust Sketchbook is the first publication from that work.
Accompanying the hand illustrated Sketchbook is ‘The Trust Guidebook’, which takes a more in depth look at the research and provides detailed questions to ask of yourself, and your team, as they explore the 12 aspects of trust that are covered within the Sketchbook itself.
This book is suitable for individuals who are curious about what trust means, and who want to set down foundations to lead with trust. It’s also suitable for Organisations and teams who want to transform their culture, to be more compassionate, to be more fair, to be founded upon networks of trust. -

Book: A mindset for mobile learning - a journey through theory and practice
Smashwords
See publicationLearning is going ‘mobile’, but this means many things: it's the technology of phones and tablets, it’s the learning we deploy, but above all it's a mindset. In this book we explore the emergence of mobile learning and practical approaches to its design and deployment. We explore how technology can facilitate learning, but doesn't guarantee it. We look at developing a mindset for mobile learning.

Book: The Amsterdam Diary - an exploration of learning culture
Smashwords
See publicationEvery organisation has its own learning culture, but where does it come from? Is it created by the organisation and inhabited by people, or does the group create the culture? In September 2012 I took a week to explore learning culture with my social learning network. I talked to a range of people and conducted a pop-up learning event around key questions, producing a narrative of our findings.

But no more. There is no longer a formal and social divide, and instead we inhabit a grey space where we answer office emails from the bath and use Facebook in meetings.
But what does this mean for learning? It’s an incredible opportunity to engage, and this book will explore ways in which we can do so, by showing how to create more dynamic and challenging social learning spaces. Through nearly fifty collected articles from my daily blog, together with new commentaries and practical tips, I look at what drives engagement in these spaces and how the thinking around them has evolved.
Social layers are being built up around all types of learning. It’s no longer a question of whether the conversations take place; it’s a question of whether we want to be involved in them.

What really matters to you? Sounds simple, doesn’t it? But here’s the thing, sometimes we think we know, but it turns out there’s so much more under the surface. I’ve recently learned how powerful it can be to dig a bit deeper and uncover the real reasons behind what makes us happy, why we feel “off” in some situations, or what lights us up inside. It all comes down to values, not just what we say is important, but what truly guides us. This is something I’ve heard repeatedly from people who’ve experienced the Minessence Values Framework guided by the incredible Dr Jackie Le Fèvre a true oracle, with a PhD and over 20 years of expertise in in the world of values. The Minessence Values Framework is not just about uncovering your values, it’s about exploring how they’ve served you so far and, most importantly, where they can take you next. See below for Jackie’s expert view... My husband, Baz, recently explored his values with Jackie. As I mentioned yesterday, his whole life has been spent serving others in the RAF and then as a Firefighter, service is in his DNA. But when he explored his values with Jackie recently, he was surprised to see how they’d changed. His old ways of thinking didn’t fit the person he’s becoming. It was like giving him permission to grow into a new chapter, without losing the heart of who he is. Karen Stenning, Alice Banfield and Kata Armitage co-Founders of Wild Purpose a natured-based immersive learning collective, used this tool to reconnect and grow stronger together... "The process revealed how deeply our values are connected and highlighted areas to focus on to propel our business forward. It was insightful and practical, we’re excited to see the impact this will have on our growth!” Over many months, I’ve had expert training from Jackie and this week, I am proud to say she has accredited me as a Practitioner in the Minessence Values Framework. What does that mean for you? As a courageous midlifer, it means I can help you uncover what truly matters whether for yourself, your career, or your team and use that to create a clearer, more joyful path forward. ✨ Exciting news: I’m launching new coaching offers for 2025, and values work will be a big focus! Stay tuned, I’ll start taking bookings in December. If you’re curious about exploring your values or want to chat about how this could help you or your team, drop me a comment or send me a message. I’d love to hear from you!

Are you ready to transform your facilitation practice and create truly inclusive, supportive spaces? Join me for a powerful hour that will revolutionise your approach to group work. Understanding trauma's impact is crucial for effective group work. Trauma-informed facilitation isn't just a skill - it's a necessity. It allows you to create safer, more inclusive spaces where all participants can truly thrive, leading to more meaningful connections and transformative experiences for everyone involved. This workshop offers a unique, hands-on approach to trauma-informed facilitation. Instead of just discussing theory, you'll have the opportunity to experience trauma-informed techniques in real-time, making the learning process both practical and deeply embodied. We'll focus on the relational aspects of facilitation, exploring how to create genuine connections that foster vulnerability and growth for the groups you lead. Through this process, you'll gain powerful tools that will leave you feeling empowered rather than overwhelmed on your trauma-informed journey. This confidence-building experience will transform how you approach facilitation, enabling you to create safer, more inclusive spaces for all participants. In this interactive online workshop, you'll: 1. Uncover the true meaning of trauma-informed facilitation 2. Learn key principles to create safer, more effective workshops 3. Gain practical tools to immediately enhance your facilitation skills 4. Experience my unique, embodied approach firsthand 5. Connect with like-minded professionals in a supportive environment This workshop is offered at no financial cost. It’s an opportunity to experience my approach as well as take away some practical tools. I'll share more at the end about how you can learn more about trauma-informed and relational facilitation. This will not be death-by-PowerPoint! Space is limited so we can connect and interact.

My research questions are: How important is Familiarity in the coaching process and Why? Subsequent questions are: What are your experiences of coaching (or even meeting digitally) and the importance of the FAMILIARITY of the participants? What is important and what is not regarding Familiarity in this context? If you are up for contributing, please consider these and make some comments.

As we come to the end of #icw24 it has been fantastic to see so many posts and sharing of learning and experiences. The #coaching community is by it's very nature, supporting, nurturing and super friendly. My last post for this week is about using #VirtualReality to increase capability. It is not a new concept, but it is becoming much more accessible and the possibilities are endless. One of the advantages of using immersive learning is the increased speed on embedding the learning. The #vr experience we offer is not avatar to avatar, in this case, it is providing an immersive learning experience that creates awareness in the moment. For example, a participant walks into a prison cell, and has a problem to solve in a stipulated time. The reactions, self talk and body language observed helps to raise awareness for the person. With the added advantage from the #coach, they can create strategies on how to identify and manage those reactions, and apply in the real world. The experience is not forgotten and has a more lasting impact on the individual. This is ideal for early career training programmes, leadership development, team building and one-to-one work. Get in touch if you're looking to freshen up your training and development offering. Have a great weekend everyone! 💡 #virtualreality #vrcoaching #learninganddevelopment

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

As the nights start to get shorter/longer following yesterday’s moment of light equilibrium in Earth, enrolment for the Autumn NatureProcess coach training programme begins. If you’re looking for a neuro-inclusive ICF accredited coach training programme that enables you to master the art of coaching with and as nature and support the growth of food forests in Scotland, then this is the training programme for you! And if you weren’t looking for this training programme, maybe it’s time to consider it? While coaching as a profession isn’t currently regulated, it’s only a matter of time before it is. The days of calling yourself a coach without any formal training are numbered. Coaching as a modality is one of the most powerful tools I’ve discovered since I started studying psychology in my late teens. When combined with nature, the impact of coaching is enhanced. If you are someone who feels called to work with others to help them tap into their full potential in life, in work, in business or any other area, coaching with and as nature needs to be an essential part of your toolkit – especially if the impact you want to create is a more sustainable future for all life in Earth. I’ve poured my heart and soul into creating the NatureProcess coach training programme because it’s the programme that I wish I had had when I was looking to train to become a coach. It weaves the academic knowledge I have through two masters (applied ecopsychology and transpersonal psychology) with 12,000 hours of coaching of one-to-one coaching, team coaching, facilitation and training experience to create a 105-hour year long programme designed to help you meet ICF ACC accreditation standards. Next cohort starts 4th September. Are you: 🌳 Committed to practical and pragmatic transformational action? 🌳 Prepared to develop your own personal nature practice? Do you want to help others: 🌳 Design a life that’s filled with the benefits of time spent in nature and a deep connection with Earth, self and others? 🌳 Discover creative nature inspired solutions to any challenge? If so, now’s the time to get in touch and start the conversation… Image: Me standing on a fallen tree lying over a stream in the middle of woods with a speech bubble saying "Enrolment for the Autumn Cohort of the NatureProcess Coach Training is open!" #coachtraining #natureconnection #sustainablefuture

More good news about the ICF accreditation for our FREE NLP Masterclass Series UNSTUCK (6 ICF CCEs) to share I've just heard from the ICF that we are able to award CCEs for the individual UNSTUCK sessions (each 90 minute session is worth 1.5 CCEs) What this means is if you can only attend some of the sessions we can still award the respective CCEs for the sessions you do attend. In other words, it's still worth registering even if you can't make it to all of the sessions. Plus the replays will be available until Sunday 15th September so that you can catch up on any sessions you miss There is also the option to upgrade to the VIP Experience which includes lifetime access to the replays and 3 beautiful Workbooks for only £50. Now's the time, if you haven't already registered, to join the 665 Coaches who have already jumped in 🤯 I'll pop the link in the first comment It's going to be a busy week 😅 This is what you'll learn: Session 1: Tuesday 10th September How to step into your Client’s world so that you understand - and feel - exactly why they are stuck Session 2: Wednesday 11th September How to unstick your Clients by helping them them understand what choosing to be stuck does for them Session 3: Thursday 12th September How to motivate your Clients and help them create new behaviours & habits so that they take action Session 4: Friday 13th September Bonus Session All sessions will run for 90 minutes 12pm - 1.30pm UK BST

📕📗📘📙Book announcement: *Drop the Disorder + Do Something* is ready to pre-order Order here: https://lnkd.in/evaJsUdw I am honoured to be one of the many authors of this powerful new book. We join in challenging the dominant culture of psychiatric diagnosis that causes so much harm, while hiding behind a mask of love. Among the authors are high-profile names such as 'V' (formerly known as Eve Ensler, author of The Vagina Monologues), child therapist Kate Silverton and Canadian physician Gabor Maté (The Myth of Normal), leading researchers and writers, including professors Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett (The Spirit Level) and Joanna Moncrieff; Robert Whitaker of madinamerica.com, and frontline campaigner Jacqui Dillon, alongside a host of other activists, service users and refusers, poets, artists, counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists and other practitioners and leaders in the mental health and homeless sectors who are trying to do things differently in their own spheres. *About the book: The culture of psychiatric diagnosis causes harm. It labels people in distress. It silences them. It takes away their individuality and agency. At its worst, it removes their human rights. It only asks, 'What's wrong with you?' and doesn't ask, 'What happened to you?' (Perry and Winfrey, 2021) It fails to acknowledge the complexity of an individual's story and their social context. This book's message is 'do something', and its hard-hitting and inspiring chapters tell us why and how. https://lnkd.in/evaJsUdw

There are four key elements to think about when making change happen 1. Dissatisfaction with current Reality 2. Inspirational Vision 3. Easily Recognisable Steps 4. Capability for Change The Change Equation is fundamental to understanding the components and psychology of change and provides a helpful starting point in thinking about leading and achieving successful change. The key with this model is to establish a credible plan that considers all four elements. No individual element takes priority – they all need to be in place, so do not think you will save time by choosing the one(s) that resonate the most with you or perhaps the ones that look easiest to implement. Look at them all in equal measure. Dissatisfaction with the current Reality: The first thing to consider is the Dissatisfaction with the current Reality. What is the current reality and how much is it affecting those involved? You can only plan an effective change initiative if you are tackling areas that create dissatisfaction. If this is not the case, then you need to ask why you are doing it in the first place. Inspirational Vision: With change and transition you need to create an Inspirational Vision of what will be. It is so important to consider how are you going to communicate and sell this vision to all those involved and impacted? Or better still, how will you involve them in creating an inspirational vision? People are not opposed to change nearly as much as they are opposed to change that they did not think of or were not involved in planning. Interestingly, buy-in happens most fully when people understand the why, rather than the what or how. Easily Recognisable Steps: Sometimes change can be made too complex. It is a fact that people are more likely to buy into change if it has been broken down into easily recognisable steps. Complexity can baffle people – simple steps look less scary and more achievable. Think about chunking the big stuff down into bite-sized, manageable steps on a realistic ‘drumbeat’ timeline. Capability for Change: People do (or do not) do things for two main reasons. Firstly, because they can – they have the ability, and, secondly, because they want to – they are motivated. Therefore, it is important that those impacted by any change initiative have the capability for change. If the capability is not there, what can you do, as a team, to change that? It is worth noting that both the ‘can do’ (ability) and the ‘want to do’ (the motivation) aspects are vital – therefore, at this stage concentrate on both the technical and the psychological aspects. Just because a person or a team has the technical capability for change, it does not mean that they are necessarily motivated for it. More on motivation later. The goal that you are looking for is real change to a culture that will allow high performance in your team. This means inclusive change as opposed to forced change.
