In today’s episode, we have a very special treat as we are joined by Paul Kaushal, Learning and Development Manager at Hymans Robertson. Parul joined our Principal Consultant Ash Thomas to talk about their collaborative partnership,  helping leaders at all levels in the firm figure out their own ways to work well in complexity.

They discuss taking  leaps of faith in Learning and Development and how taking a mindset of experimentation can support greater ownership of personal learning and growth, and helps turn collective insight into real-world change through action learning. Enjoy!

Today’s episode is a recording of our recent mission-led government virtual event.

Over the past six months we’ve been exploring with clients across the Civil Service what it takes to make mission-led government work, working with over 170 people. And so in today’s recording we share what we’re hearing and our insights, as well as hearing from you guys in the Mayvin community too.

This session will provide valuable space to make sense of the mission-led approach in your context, and develop some fresh perspective and practical insights.   

Hope you enjoy listening and if you would like to talk to us further re mission-led please do get in touch.

Leadership and the new chaos. It's not just you. Leaders everywhere are overwhelmed, and not because they're doing something wrong. The world has changed. Chaos isn't the exception anymore. It's the norm. In this episode, we explore how to lead when the map keeps redrawing itself under your feet. Carolyn Norgate and Carolyn Parker revisit and expand on their earlier podcast about leadership in today's increasingly unpredictable world. Six months ago, they saw a glimmer of optimism. Today, the sentiment is more complex. The leaders are working harder, facing more demands and feeling less impact. They delve into what it means to lead in an era where answers have a short shelf life, where leadership must be adaptive, relational and reflective, they discuss the limitations of traditional leadership models and share insights that challenge the myth of the heroic leader and how embracing vulnerability, creative Inquiry and collective sense making can pave the way to a more human, connected approach to navigating the chaos.

Our Tony Nicholls has decided to stop working from the end of March 2025, he still finds it hard to use the R word, so we decided to make the most of him these last few weeks that we have him, and try to bottle his wisdom and experience, slash milk him for content before he goes. We're releasing these short 10 minute episodes for the next eight weeks, which will take us up to his last week with us. Each episode will focus on a different topic, a different element of his time at Mayvin or his career at large. 

In today's final episode of conversations with Tony, Tony is joined by James Traeger. James has recently moved into a new role as non Executive Chair of Mayvin, as a co founder and director since 2010, James has been instrumental in shaping Mayvin identity practice and growth. In this candid conversation, he shares insights into his new role and what it entails. James and Tony also reflect openly on their career transitions, one having a shift in gears and the other coming to a full stop. It's a daunting process, but they both recognise a new found release of energy. 

Please do feel free to get in touch with us or Tony directly, if you'd like to pass on any well wishes for his R word.
