How do you approach a complaint brought to you about a peer manager by one of their team? Does your organisation have a process for handling complaints across different teams? Where does a mentor fit in to this scenario?

This week Kim and Fulyana explore the options for you as the “receiver” of the complaint when this comes from a team member of a peer manager and is about that peer manager.

This week Kim and Fulyana look at a situation sent in by a listener. This is someone who loves their job, the people they work with and the organisation, however, they feel a need or have a passion to explore a new direction to expand their skills.

How do you leave when you love your job?

This week Fulyana talks through some suggestions for action when a formal mentoring activity ends.

Both Kim and Fulyana mentor through structured time limited programmes as well as ongoing sessions, so it is interesting to hear their experience of activities you can try when any type of mentoring programme comes to its logical conclusion.

In this final part of our discussion with John Alford, Kim and Fulyana hear about the impacts of regulatory change as well as the value of finding long term mentors or influencers.

We continue our discussion with John Alford, this week looking at the skills he gained early in his working life that have remained with him. We also explore the difference between a transaction business and a service business when they are in the same industry.

This week we begin a 3 part series talking with John Alford about his fascinating career in the finance industry in areas as diverse as the stock market floor of the 1980s to financial planning.

Part 1 looks at an overview of John’s career with some insights into specific benefits of being in a “rough and tumble” environment early in a career.

This week Kim and Fulyana look at the small and incremental changes that can happen over a 20 year period, changes that irrevocably alter what you do and how you do it, changes that you don’t really notice until you look back at a milestone.

This week Kim and Fulyana share their reactions to a recent report published by Zoom.
