In this first bonus episode of Season 3 Robert shares his reflections on the six conversations we’ve had so far - in the hope it’s a welcome opportunity for you to reflect too.
We really do want you to make these ideas your own - to incorporate them into your leadership style or consultancy practice, so they make a difference to the individuals and teams you’re in relationship with.
Robert's two standout themes are, firstly the importance of really getting to know those we work with, so that we create a level of professional INTIMACY, and secondly how our approach to learning can lead to insight and WISDOM that can be applied for everyone’s benefit.
