Penny discusses what steps the team take when approaching a new client or project, which will enable them to guarantee that the outcome will be an overall success. “Fundamentally, our engagement with our client at the early stages is focussed on establishing a clear outcome which we are all aiming for, and agreeing a strategy for clear and regular check ins to ensure ultimate success for all involved.” Working in such a sensitive, people focused market, Penny comments on what the team at The Living Leader look for when it comes to staff, before going on to explain how they attract the best talent, accepting nothing but the best attitude. Penny also acknowledges that without its clients, the company would not have achieved what it has today. “Across a variety of industries, we seek out and attract colleagues who truly live the values we believe in. We are relentless about the quality we deliver, and the enormous success of our Masterclass delegates is testament to the quality of our training and support. “Moreover, we are delighted to be recognised by the industry and welcome the opportunity to share our amazing success, however, our success is really down to our clients and individual delegates (tens of thousands of them globally), the people who gave up three days to attend a programme and, as a result of them taking responsibility for their life in a different way, making a difference, every day.” In her concluding comments, Penny signs off by talking about her aspirations for the future and how the company plans to attain them as well as discussing the future as a whole. Within the wider HR & Training industry, there will be many developments, with Penny signing off by commenting on how the family will adapt around these. “Ultimately, we are building a network of outstanding leaders who, whether through their facilitation of the PLP or through developing other leaders are truly making a significant difference, every day. We believe that through our YPP we can make a huge difference at an early stage of a young person’s life, thus truly achieving our vision of changing the thinking of the world, one at a time. “In the future, we knew that technology was going to be key for our success in order to meet the needs of a tech savvy generation, who are looking for new and innovative ways to develop their leadership skills. We believe this self-initiated learning is the future and, alongside organisational support, this bodes well for the future of the HR & Training industry. Therefore, we will continue to develop our capability in this area.”
