Helping Organisations Thrive with Julian Roberts

Today I am interviewing Julie Kapsalis who is the Deputy Chief Executive of Chichester College Group.   Julie shared how she uses her network and those around her to make an impact and get key projects done, the power of her network. Although she galvanizes those in a project around a common goal, she is mindful of ensuring she picks those who are early adopters and maybe influencer's for the project. And also it is about being open and honest about the project and whether do all the goals align with each partner, ensuring that the focus is on the bigger size of the prize that will benefit all of those in the project. Julie underpins her leadership with compassion and understanding of her teams.    Watch the full interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp5a0dOiYQw   Connect with Julie: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliekapsalis/ Email: juliekapsalis@btinternet.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/juliekapsalis   If you want support in helping your organisation thrive, do get in contact with me: https://www.julianrobertsconsulting.com

Today I am interviewing Kevyn Rustici who is a Strategic Human Capital Consultant for Gallagher.   Kevyn shared his insights and views on how HR leaders can help shape the future of work by truly focusing on the people doing the work, creating cultures focused on the emotional, mental, physical, and financial well-being of the individual. His approach is for HR leaders to use data and gain insights from this data. Having new information (People Data) available and utilising these insights will help to improve decision making, we will then use our gut, instinct and intuition less to make pivotal business decisions. Kevyn's idea is changing HR departments from a "cost center" to a "profit center" is not some crazy idea it's an evolution, a change of perspective and intention which will drive the necessary changes required in the new normal, because we aren't "Going Back to Normal."   Watch the full interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6xtFUbviaM   Connect with Kevyn: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hrevolution/ Email: kevyn.rustici@gmail.com   If you want support in helping your organisation thrive, do get in contact with me: https://www.julianrobertsconsulting.com

Today I am interviewing Glenys Chatterley who is the MD of Effective Business Network (ebn).   Glenys has been networking her whole business life, something that she realised was important when she left the corporate world to start her own business. Glenys shares her passion, knowledge and experience of networking, and that it is not just for business owners but also leaders in organisations. And as we now start more in-person networking Glenys shared a tip that has help her and many others to create an impact whilst networking, that the 3, 3 and 3. Often entering a room with lots of people can be overwhelmed, the key is to have a strategy and breakdown the approach, so initially speak to 3 people that you know really well, don;t spend too much time but arrange to have coffee another time. Then move onto to 3 people you know a little, so you can start to build upon that relationship. And now move onto 3 people you don't know, perhaps the previous conversations have introduced them to you, or ask them are anyone you should talk to in the room. This way you would have had 9 meaningful conversations at least, you can go again if time permits. Glenys shared other key strategies for networking.   Watch the full interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e2eZVW_PX8   Connect with Glenys: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/glenys-chatterley-148547/ Website: http://www.ebn.uk.com/ Email: glenys@ebn.uk.com   If you want support in helping your organisation thrive, do get in contact with me: https://www.julianrobertsconsulting.com

Today I am interviewing Debbie Hancock who is the founder of Southbourne Accountancy and Business services, who is also a chartered management accountant.   Debbie shares the importance of a healthy money mindset, whether we are a business owner or work for an organisation, in fact it affects all areas of our life. Debbie shares that our attitudes to money are developed when we are growing up, in how we were given money, told what to do with it, how our parents talked about money, and how we responded to having or not having money - this creates our beliefs for money. The importance is to understand what those beliefs are now, and if they are limiting beliefs we need to change them so that we can walk in freedom around money. One way is to re frame the narratives you have around money and make them positive affirmations, e.g. my family were not very good with money would become I am now my own family and successful money manager who has transformed the age old family pattern to be good with money.   Watch the full interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZfIn3hSs1w   Connect with Debbie: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/southbourneaccountancy/ Website: https://southbourneaccountancy.co.uk/ Email: debbie@southbourneaccountancy.co.uk     If you want support in helping your organisation thrive, do get in contact with me: https://www.julianrobertsconsulting.com
