Innovation through Creativity is one of the TEAMEDGE modules that we’ve had amazing response to, so we took it as inspiration for our latest ‘high performance’ event. We were delighted when our clients Miele offered to host us at their Experience Centre in Abingdon, and to tell us the amazing advances they are creating like
Marathon running is a solo activity, isn’t it? Hours of pounding the roads and byways on training runs, with a hydration pack and an mobile phone for emergencies Having just run Dublin Marathon this weekend, I’ve been reflecting on the many faces of the ‘support team’ that make a marathon possible Kate Davies,
Heading to events like WOLCE or CIPD annual conference are fabulous time for us L&D types to refresh our knowledge, often with ‘ah yes I know that’ moments, but every so often you catch a gem that sends you into a google/research spin This week a speaker at the World of Learning conference made reference
‘She’s only 21, so she has a huge amount of potential.. coming 7th is a brilliant place for her’ ‘Achieving 4th at 23, he’s got years ahead of him to really maximise his talent’ These were among the many commentator quotes about talent from the IAAF World Athleteics Championships in Doha at the weekend.

I’ve been reading Martyn Newman’s book ‘Emotional Capitalists’ (Building Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Success) this week.. and was struck by a story regarding Roger Bannister and the 4 minute mile. We all know that Roger Bannister completed the seemingly impossible feat of running a mile in under 4 minutes in 1954. But what piqued by
Spending time with our Team Coaches is often in service of a specific project discovery or design or client meeting or delivery of event.

I’ve been mulling over a recent conversation with a client who wanted to ‘refresh’ part of their development programme. Nothing unusual in that, except they were pretty clear that the intervention has great take up, great feedback and great results that have sustained impact back in the workplace. So why change it? “We just need
My conversations over the last couple of weeks have often had ‘culture’ running through them.

For most of the day tomorrow, LE Towers phones will divert to voicemail and the emails of the support team will reply with Out of Office Not because we all fancy a day in the glorious sunshine (although it appears we have been a bit jammy with that!) but because we’re taking a busman’s holiday.
I’ve been reflecting recently about the support Leading Edge have given to Warwickshire-based charity Helping Hands and how we’ve been able to connect some of our fantastic clients like Jaguar Land Rover, Whitbread and Wickes– with the charity for the good of both. (You may have seen the amazing news of the donation Wickes gave
Take a look around your business, head office or workplace… a real look… what’s on the walls, the noticeboards, stuck to the cupboard in the kitchen, on the toilet cubicle door?
