Very excited to be speaking at the horizons conference hosted by @hibobhr on the 18th November 😁

If you’ve been following me for a while then you’ll know that I’m kind of fascinated/obsessed with human growth, capacity, change, transition, pressure, uncertainty (this list goes on) and that’s why I’m thrilled to be able to bring this same lens/perspective to organisational growth in November.

Hibob will be bringing together over 200 senior leaders across people, finance, and tech to help organisations adapt, lead and grow in the era of AI. Wooo! lets go.. hr friends.. I hope to see you there 🚀🚀

Expansion is a physical process and it can sometimes feel physically painful.

It can involve feeling like we are being metephorically ‘stripped bare’ and forced to look at ourselves with uncomfortable depth so that we can expand our capcity.

Without awareness, we can feel like we are ‘going backwards’ but in fact that pressure is what is transforming us.

In order to hold greater ‘postive pressure’ we need to first ensure we can hold its opposite or ‘negative pressure’

Where are you in the expansion process?

For the new to come in, we need to release the old.

Often when we are in the midst of an identity upgrade, it can feel quite challenging as we feel the momentum and energy shift and rather than letting go, we can sometimes try to cling on harder resulting in over efforting with diminishing returns. This is where we can feel burnt out as we are overgiving but under recieving. The flow of energy is not reciprocal. There is often an easier way but that involves letting go and stepping away from the unknown.

The more we recognise this process the easier it becomes as we build our self trust, that even when its not working, its working.

Our SECOND community event is in the bag!! Woo 👏👏👏Amazing morning with our wonderful growing @hibobhr community at @bloomsyard in London this morning.

As people leads who are navigating constant change not just for themselves but those within the organisation it can feel heavy, lonely, and often challenging, thats why for this event, we focused on celebrating our wins in a creative and interactive way.

We had time to connect, share our learnings and celebrate together. Huge thank you to everyone who attended this morning and for being so open to sharing (bring an extra two people back with you next time!😁😁) It is a joy to create more spaces like this for individuals to connect and reflect on their growth💪

Thanks to all who attended and for the wonderful team at @bloomsyard for hosting us. 🙏We can’t wait to be back bigger, and better for our next event. Watch this space.

As we grow so does our ability to discern.

As we grow we are ‘unlearning’ and letting go of conditioning that once shaped our worldview, and as a result we are ‘cleaning’ the filter or lens in which we view the world through.

Therefore we can see intentions, behaviours and environments much more clearly than we did previously. It is easy to look back and say ‘what was I thinking?’ ‘why couldn’t i see that?’ but at the time you were viewing the world through a different lens. So if your discernment is getting sharper, its not that you have done anything wrong or bad it’s just you can now see more clearly which enhances your discernment and judgement.

It was great to facilitate my growth experience this morning with the @nextjump team. So many great observations and conversations. It is a pleasure to do this work. Thank you so much for having me 🙏

With increasing uncertainty everywhere, its more important than ever that we continue to build ourselves and work on things that nobody can ever take away from us. Keep learning, keep growing and build the capacity to hold more. 💪🙌

Growth requires two key components. Containment and expansion.

Containment is the art of learning to hold what we already have, for instance our life/ our responsibilities, and we do this that through our habits, our beliefs, boundaries, our self-respect.

Expansion is about lifting the weight, a bit like going to the gym, this is where we will feel pressure. However the pressure is actually where our strength is built, pressure is the catalyst.

Both go hand in hand, you can not expand without learning the art of containment first. Both are ongoing processes.. and as the weight gets heavier, the way you ‘contain’ must and will evolve.
