COVID-19: Supporting Your Leaders

Team Leader is actively supporting clients through this period, through the provision of webinars and coaching. For most leaders, we are in many cases navigating through unchartered waters - and my savvy clients have realised this and are doing something about it.

We are focusing on what great leadership looks like in a time of uncertainty and change - if you feel that you or your leaders might benefit from this, then the time to act is now.

No matter your sector, industry, business or organisation, what is the cost of doing nothing?

I strongly encourage the leaders I work with to become habitual exercisers; it’s good for them, and it’s good for the people they work with.

I’ve always enjoyed running above most other forms of exercise - but there’s something about the simplicity, speed (well, that’s a relative term…) and sense of exploration.
