Hope you have had a good weekend. Here in WA it was a long weekend and the school holidays have just started. For us, that means a slightly slower pace but looking ahead end of October and November will be all hands on deck. Over the last couple of weeks, we have seen a real pick up in our mindfulness workshops Mindful Ways in Difficult Times. Organisations and employees are in need of practical tools to handle our turbulent times. If you are interested in hearing more about our workshops on mindful leadership, get in touch with our Client Director Phil Moyle (who now has been released from his hotel quarantine!).

Last Friday, we had a Q&A with Rob Kramer – if you missed it, you can watch it here. We talked about the importance of senior leadership to adopt mindfulness for it to successfully filter through the organisation, the third space, and the things you can practice as a leader/coach.

Customer Story: RAC Insurance

The Royal Automobile Club of Western Australia (RAC) is a motoring club and mutual organisation, offering motoring services and advice, insurance, travel services, finance, driver training and exclusive benefits for their members. RAC has been around for more than 110 years, covers the largest geographical area of any automotive club in the world and is 100% local.

RAC engaged Integral to design and deliver a Strategic Business Simulation for its RAC Insurance group, part of RAC since 1947. The session was targeted at executive, senior and aspirant leaders, with all of RACI’s leaders taking part in the simulation. Its main goals were to help RACI team gain awareness of their critical organisational capabilities as well as to build and drive awareness of the need to be Innovative, Agile and Member Centric in its approach to change.

The end result was a really useful session in which participants were challenged to respond to realistic strategic problems, as well as gain exposure to what our critical capabilities really looked like in a business context. Feedback from the session was very positive and we now believe we have some strong foundations to work from as we look to accelerate our capability building and talent development programs.
