Wulvern Housing approached us to engage with staff to explore their current framework for values and behaviours in the organisation, The Wulvern Way, and to propose a new version of this that staff would find easier to use in their day to day work and have meaningful conversations around, within their performance review system.
We devised a series of interactive workshops to seek views from right across the business, finding out what people liked and didn’t like about the current framework and asking them to articulate what “The Wulvern Way” meant to them.
We were then left with a huge amount of input that required analysis and further discussions till finally we were able to present to the Executive Team. The new Wulvern Way refined into a core values statement supported by 4 key behaviours aligned with their vision statement of providing “Brilliant Social Housing”:
We were able to:
"No Guru were able to give an unbiased perspective to the Wulvern Way project that for us reinforced to colleagues that our new behaviours are a true reflection of the feedback given by them and based on what they believe it should be like to work in our organisation."
We are delighted to announce we are now working with Heriott-Watt University to deliver the Welcome to Leadership programmes for their managers. The university has a large international presence with an ambitious strategy and we are looking forward to working with their Professional and Organisational Development team. Heriott-Watt is the latest University to join our growing list of valued customers within Higher Education and we are grateful for this amazing opportunity.

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
(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.
