10 years on from the INSPIRE leadership programme

Just over a decade ago Experian UK, ran a programme called Inspire. This episode  is a catalyst from Sam Gilbert who posted a picture on LinkedIn of the cohort he was in on the programme.I am joined by Sam, Jemma Price and Keith Ambrose to discuss the impact of the programme then and now! Sam said in his post: "More than a decade ago, I took part in a leadership programme called Inspire. All these years later, barely a week goes by without me drawing on the vast store of things I learnt from the experience and the people I shared it with. Reflecting on a meeting, I'll realize it went well because it transcended "ritual cliché", and achieved "true rapport". Facing a decision, I'll ask myself something Guy Bloom said when delivering: "What would a *good* version of you do? Not a superhuman, Mahatma Gandhi version, but a *good* version?"It made me a braver and more compassionate person, and a better leader because of it.Company priorities change over time, and I imagine Experian has been through several iterations of its people strategy since then. Inspire was a material investment that may not have driven short-term financial results.But I am 100% sure it was the right thing to do. As Fred Pelard writes, businesses should think of training as a "no regret" move - one that yields a positive outcome in every scenario. That I'm writing today with warmth and gratitude about a company I left 8 years ago speaks to the truth of that".Creating and running this programme was a labour of love, it was team effort to make it land and have the impact that is did.It went on to win the:WINNER-GOLD AWARD-Training Journals, Best Leadership ProgrammeHighly Recommended - HR Excellence Awards - Employee Engagement WINNER-ABP-2015-Excellence In Performance Improvement To find out more about the programmes that I run based on an award winning levels of design, delivery and impact reach out to me on [email protected] or 07827 953814.Visit the website: livingbrave website You can see all links below.👇👇👇 ➡️Listen on laptop, phone or PC:https://bit.ly/leadershipbitesVia podcast: 👇👇👇 ➡️Apple: https://apple.co/39pYHprSpotify: http://spoti.fi/3q9DaHvGoogle: https://bit.ly/39nQUsgiHeart Radio: Leadershp BITESStitcher: https://bit.ly/33rQVHWWebsite: https://bit.ly/leadershipbiteswebYoutube: http://bit.ly/guybloomyoutube To find out more about Guy Bloom and his award winning work in Team Coaching, Leadership Development and Executive Coaching click below.The link to everything CLICK HEREUK: 07827 953814Email: [email protected] Web: www.livingbrave.com
