🌟 Meet our Chartered Manager of the Week: Ryan Hume CMgr FCMI 🌟 Ryan spent six years in the military, joining straight after GCSEs. On leaving, he felt he needed to gain formal accreditation in management. His first step was to use a 360-degree review to assess his management skills. Although he scored highly in most areas, he scored low for empathy. “It shocked me actually,” he admits. “But as the tool requires insight from colleagues at all levels, I realised it was something I had to address, so I started to explore it. “Before CMI, I would deal with things in a certain way. On one occasion, I remember there was a contractual dispute and I had to reprioritise work and resources. I had to tell my team where I was allocating the resources and therefore who wouldn’t be allocated any. I don’t think it went down too well. I see now that I didn’t deliver the message in a very empathetic way.” Ryan’s journey with CMI has helped him identify areas for development. His focus as a manager now aligns with CMI’s ethical management practices and he’s passionate about nurturing a growth mindset for himself and his team. “Becoming Chartered has elevated my career. It’s helped me refine my strategic thinking and reinforced values of professionalism and ethical leadership. Crucially, it’s given me the confidence and framework to lead with integrity and drive lasting change.” 👉 Find out more about becoming a Chartered Manager here: https://bit.ly/3Wj5bND – and get 10% off the price of a full assessment with promo code: CMSocDisc10 #CharteredManager #CMgr #Management #Leadership #Careers

🌟 Meet our Chartered Manager of the Week: Samantha Canham CMgr FCMI 🌟 Sam was seconded to the role of senior continuous improvement manager at Currys plc earlier this year. She credits becoming a Chartered Manager with helping her to take the step up. “I genuinely don’t think I would have got the job had I not become a Chartered Manager, because my people skills wouldn’t have been there,” she says. Her journey with CMI began after she encountered its resources through colleagues. This led her to carry out assessments of her communication style. She realised that she didn’t have much empathy. Sam did not want that to be the case; she wanted to be approachable and to help her team grow and develop. She started looking at routes to change her management style. She achieved Chartered Manager status almost two years ago and rates the tools it has given her as “fantastic”. It had a big impact on her management style; it has helped her relax a little and relinquish some control to her team members when appropriate. “With things like Chartered Manager status, it’s all about the accreditation. But unless you take the material away and actually start to live it, there’s no point in those post-nominals. If you’re going to do it, you’ve got to do it properly.” 👉 Find out more about becoming a Chartered Manager here: https://bit.ly/3Wj5bND – and get 10% off the price of a full assessment with promo code: CMSocDisc10 #CharteredManager #CMgr #Management #Leadership #Careers

🌟 Meet our Chartered Manager of the Week: Renee Raper CMgr FCMI 🌟 At CMI, we’re huge advocates of lifelong learning. And Renee Raper CMgr FCMI’s career is a living demonstration of why. Working at a UK university in its corporate development team, and being a lecturer on the MBA, it was Renee’s job to create management and leadership courses for business clients. She loved the job – and soon realised that if she was selling the value of CMI accreditation, as well as university degrees, she should get formal accreditation herself. Renee applied for CMI membership in 2014 and was fast-tracked to a fellowship. She pursued Chartered Manager status in 2015. The Chartered process more than lived up to expectations. The practical nature of CMI’s training showed her she was already doing so much right – and that with minor tweaks she could achieve so much more. In 2018, Renee decided to apply all her training knowledge and experience and launch her own consultancy. Thanks to CMI’s training and endorsement, she was confident she was approaching clients on a firm footing. It gave her self-belief – because she was benchmarked against the best managers. And crucially, the accreditation helped her win work, acting as a quality standard. Renee remains driven to acquire new knowledge and experiences. She is an internal assessor and verifier for the CMI qualifications, and recently started training to be a Chartered Manager assessor. Four years ago, Renee’s CMI journey even led to her becoming chair of the CMI Scotland board. Renee’s story shows what can be achieved when you don’t sit back and rely on old theoretical knowledge. Instead, by staying on the road of fresh practical improvements, doors will keep opening. 👉 Learn more about becoming a Chartered Manager: https://bit.ly/3KEAAox - and get 10% off the price of a full assessment with the promo code: ChMgrDisc10 #CharteredManager #CMgr #Management #Leadership #ProfessionalDevelopment

It's been a while since my last in-person professional development course, but I am so glad I attended this one! The NZ Institute of Directors Company Directors Course was truly rewarding. The program provided an excellent opportunity to deepen my governance knowledge and connect with an amazing group of professionals. I gained valuable insights into the universal nature of governance challenges across sectors, industries, and countries, and it highlighted the importance of Boards having a diverse mix of individuals with the right skills and motivations to add real value. #professionaldevelopment #governance #networking

🌟 Meet our Chartered Manager of the Week: Yong Kok Fei CMgr FCMI 🌟 Yong Kok Fei CMgr FCMI started looking into CMI when his team at Stanley Black & Decker Malaysia went remote. “Plan number one was to improve my EQ [emotional quotient] and my patience and learn to put myself in their shoes.” CMI has given him the skills to do just that. He’s built a much better rapport with his team. Ongoing coaching of team members using reflective learning is now an important part of his toolset. “Analysing what they’ve learnt helps them develop the critical thinking skills that will improve their future performance. It also makes them able to perform their roles more independently, allowing me to focus more on value-added tasks,” he says. Kok Fei gained Chartered Manager status in August 2024. “It’s an endorsement of my management competencies and capabilities.” He is determined to keep on learning and putting his new knowledge into practice. “I know I still need to improve, and I can’t make it happen overnight, but the more people I deal with and different situations I come across, the more I’m building those skills.” 👉 Find out more about becoming a Chartered Manager here: https://bit.ly/3Wj5bND – and get 10% off the price of a full assessment with promo code: CMSocDisc10 #CharteredManager #CMgr #Management #Leadership #Careers
