We are delighted with this testimonial that came in today ⬇️ This was a 12 month project with a diverse group of Occupational Therapist (OT) leaders and demonstrates how important intentional reflective spaces are for enhancing team practice and creating opportunity for greater collaboration and communication among the workforce. We are thrilled with the reported increased levels of leadership confidence AND the noticeable impact has on service users. 🙌 🕯️ This OT team are the 'light in the dark' and 'holders of hope' for the people they serve. 📓 Their purpose was to help their service users live a new life story. 👏🏾 Their mission is to change a person's world in a positive way - maximising their function and independence and helping people adjust and find themselves. Did you know the following stats about OTs? ... 🇬🇧 At the beginning of 2024 there were 44,400 OTs in the United Kingdom 👩🏾⚕️ According to HCPC only 13% of those surveyed in 2024 belonged to minority ethnic groups 🚩 The average turnover rate is 14.4% Supporting their career paths by creating reflective spaces that help them balance clinical demands with leadership responsibilities and make the best contribution to their service users/patients/clients can make a difference. Do get in touch with us if we can help you create similar spaces for your AHP workforce.

Our organisational lives can be plagued with ghosts in ways that go beyond the figurative language we use: Our ‘high spirits’ can be instantly dampened when we hear organisational bad news - perhaps looking like we have 'seen a ghost'; and when projects are ceased we may 'give up the ghost’. 👻 Organisational ghosts are psychological unfinished business and can be associated with significant and unprocessed pain. Spookily, they significantly impact the culture and behaviour of the organisation and team in a way that’s not always obvious. Depending on the circumstances they can protect risky decisions or prohibit change. 🕸 Either way, there comes a time when these ghosts outlive their usefulness. Brushing them away is necessary for the team to move on in new directions. We received some 'fang-tastic' 🙈 feedback from a recent awayday facilitated for a team of senior psychologists in an NHS Mental Health, Community Health and Primary Care Trust. It was their first awayday for several years and for the sake of old and new team members alike, we explored the ‘ghosts’ responsible for haunting them and preventing them from moving forward and drew inspiration from some of the helpful spirits of the past! 🎃 What are the ghosts that haunt your organisation, or your team and what impact are they having? ⚡ Do you need some help to facilitate reflective conversations on how you lay these spirits to rest? ☎ Get in touch and let us help you find a way to bust (or welcome) these ghosts going forward.
