I was able to openly share my challenges and difficulties in a way I could never have done within my own organization. It was a super powerful insight for my leadership journey.
The biggest learning is really about the importance of creating clarity when working with colleagues, stakeholders, and even competitors. This program helped me experiment with new ways to communicate and lead initiatives more effectively.
This journey has really shown that we all care so much about the same thing and we all want the same thing. There is so much to achieve by working, supporting, and inspiring each other. I've learned I can rely on that and lean on that in a way that I wasn't sure I could before.
There are many like-minded people out there with the same ambitions, energy, and struggles. Many people want to support, engage, and join forces, so it's quite easy to connect and you're not alone.
Leading from a place of clarity about what I want to achieve and where I want to take people, rather than viewing leadership as a separate role. It’s about following my genuine purpose and inspiring others to join me on that journey.
Just about the best bloke you are ever going to meet on this planet... Jeremy has a real understanding of where people are coming from and how you can impact others. He is 100% trustworthy. His technical knowledge of people, behaviors, and organizations is amazing, but it's his ability to deliver it in a friendly, professional, and mindful way that makes him so brilliant at what he does.
Coaching is about creating a space where transformation is both encouraged and empowered. Embarking on this inaugural U.S. journey with Ashoka Changemakers, I am thrilled to guide leaders who are passionate about purpose and social impact. This journey is not just about leadership growth – it's about building a community dedicated to sustainable change, where each leader's unique vision can contribute to a collective impact."
