The 10 year difference?!

Well that was the quickest 10 years of my life!
Thank you for taking 'the journey' with me since 2013. There's a lot more to come this year.
Read on for invites, offers and next steps on the road...
First off: this newsletter will now be with you monthly during 2023.

Having focused on (nearly!) completing our library of resources last year, our new strategy is all about helping everyone to benefit from them.
I'd love to know what you think of the opportunities and case stories below (and what else would help bring our topics to life for you).

Powerful programmes

We are really delighted to announce two special new organisational and leadership development opportunities. Each six-month programme helps develop sustainable capacity within charities and the systems they are part of.
They are not for everyone though! They are aimed at people who are:
  • Familiar with our core ideas and ready to take things to the next level.
  • Committed to taking action on sustainability in their organisations or wider systems.
Find out more about the programmes and how to apply, with discounts for newsletter subscribers.
We now have a calendar of events for the year ahead. [You can download it by clicking here]. It's pretty comprehensive (e-learning courses, practice sharing, leadership development) and we'll add more throughout the year. As always, newsletter readers will be the first to hear!
Our popular e-learning courses are back
Starting with Lasting Leadership in May, the Lasting Difference double bill follows in October.
People say they're 'engaging' and 'insightful' ways to improve understanding - and practice.
Lasting Leadership: book your free places here (max 3 per organisation)
