Just ran a session on verbal communication skills with a management team. As usual asked the group for an example of a good communicator. The two most popular answers to this question are former Presdent Barack Obama and David Attenborough - both got a mention again yesterday!
Currently creating a staff survey and training session on the subject of psychological safety. This is such an important, topical area and several of my clients are showing a keen interest in the subject.

Session on 'teamwork' with a senior management team - the concept of psychological safety struck a chord again. It's when people feel safe to take risks, voice opinions & be open & honest with each other. They respect & trust each other. #Management #teamwork
Business coaching can be so satisfying. Completed a programme today with a young, developing manager who was a pleasure to work with - keen to learn, emotionally intelligent, focused. Love my job! #coaching #Manager
