No Guru MD John Drysdale 2017

Teaming up with the Institute for Leadership & Management, No Guru offer the opportunity for first and middle line managers to gain ILM Level 3 and Level 5 qualifications in Leadership & Management and Levels 3 through to Level 7 Coaching & Mentoring, which are gained through evidence and application to the learner’s specific role and industry.

Alongside a recognised qualification, the programme encourages commitment and engages the individual with self-development and valuable leaderships skills. Previous learners have provided positive feedback on increased productivity and reduced conflict in the workplace.

No Guru Managing Director, John Drysdale said: “These qualifications are very flexible and we can help you choose units of learning that are most relevant to your organisation or sector. With ILM  you can almost design your own qualification for in-house programmes or send learners to our highly acclaimed ‘Open Programmes’ which we run regularly through the year.

Our aim is always to engage learners, so rather than teach we involve them in experiential learning activities, group discussions and self-guided study.  Many of our learners have never completed a formal qualification, which is why we offer all the support and guidance they need.”

More than 70,000 people register for an ILM qualification every year and with a clear focus on helping employers and training providers to develop, assess and accredit leaders with the right blend of skills, ILM is the UK’s top leadership and management qualifications specialist.

No Guru have a proven track record of delivering successful ILM training programmes to a wide range of UK organisations, spanning multiple industries. Having worked previously with Riverside Housing, Leeds Beckett University, Glendale Services and NHS Trusts to deliver ILM courses, No Guru are now offering their expertise to businesses across the city region.

John continued: “We are delighted with the response to our Autumn Coaching & Mentoring programme which was quickly, fully subscribed and we look forward to offering a rolling programme of events from early 2018.  We are leading in learning and aim to be recognised as the go-to hub for ILM activity in the region.”

Why be a coach or mentor?

I am a little biased but I love both coaching and mentoring. I used to enjoy being the ‘trainer’ which satisfied the performer in me but as I get older there is something that I find deeply satisfying in being a coach or mentor.

More than that, I find it a privilege to work with people.  People that trust you enough to share their greatest challenges, dearest hopes, deepest fears and core beliefs about life. I can think of few professions in business that afford you such intimacy. I feel lucky and grateful each and every session I get to spend with my clients. (more…)

Speaking Truth to Power

For those afraid of speaking …

(But) TED is a tough, pressured, hugely stressful gig, even for experienced public speakers, and I’m not that. Standing in the wings waiting to go on, I told the stage manager that my heart was racing uncontrollably and in an act of great kindness, she grasped both my hands and made me take breath after breath. And what you don’t see in the video – deftly edited out – is the awful, heart-stopping moment when I forgot a line, followed by another act of collective kindness, a spontaneous empathic cheer as I composed myself and found my cue. “That’s when the audience came onside,” an attendee told me. “You were human. That’s when you won them over.”  Guardian April 2019

 

This from Carole Cadwalladr, a journalist at the Guardian who has in this last year investigated the role of tech corporations and their platforms in influencing the workings of our democracy.  What makes her TED talk so compelling is because here she is facing those very same technology giants on their turf.  And speaking truth to power.
