The Business of Healthcare Podcast with Tara Humphrey #246 Disrupting your thinking to enable change with Dawn Jarvis
As regular listeners will know, I am always keen to promote great leaders on the Business of Healthcare podcast, and offer a platform for others, including myself, to learn from their skills, knowledge, and experiences, particularly when it comes to those leaders who are open and willing to effect disruptive change.
Leaders don’t come any more fearless, passionate, or purposeful than this week’s guest Dawn Jarvis, Managing Director of People and OD Partners, a consultancy focused who are committed to supporting the public sector to deliver better value with better leadership.
Having worked previously at senior level in many areas of the NHS and the UK public sector more broadly, Dawn is now based in Australia and spends her time coaching and mentoring c-level executives (and their teams), as well as offering services in mediation and facilitation, transformation, strategy and improving team dynamics.
Dawn and I discussed:
- Making the leap into consultancy and growing an internationally renowned business from the grass roots up
- Comparing notes on the Australian and UK healthcare systems
- Bridging the gap between what organisations think they want versus what they actually need
- Dawn’s approach to facilitation
- How to effect, often difficult, organisational change and transformation
- Development of The Stellar Model
- What Dawn most enjoys about her work - and why we believe loving what you do is key to maintaining demand for your services (and realising success)
- Dawn’s preparations for her PhD and why she thrives on consistently challenging herself
