A New Year's Resolution for 2025: Sharing More Opportunities! I don’t normally post on LinkedIn—or any social media for that matter—but more and more, I’m beginning to see the importance of sharing opportunities with my network. That’s why my New Year’s resolution for 2025 is to share more about what I do and the opportunities that come my way in the hope that they reach those who need them most. And here it is—the first opportunity I’m sharing with you all: ?? The Launch of "Shaping the Future" Fund! ?? Migration Exchange has long championed the need for systems change in the UK refugee and migration sector. To make a sustainable impact, we must invest in the changemakers and leaders driving this transformation. That’s why I’m thrilled to share that Shaping the Future, our new fund to support leadership in the migration sector, is now live! Through this fund, we aim to address critical gaps by: ?? Supporting Leadership Development: Building leadership capacity and capability within organisations and networks. ?? Fostering Holistic Approaches: Centering anti-oppression, wellbeing, sustainability, and systems change in leadership models. ?? Creating Lasting Impact: Sharing practices that inform broader leadership and participatory grant-making efforts. ?? Applications are open now! If you, your organisation, or someone you know could benefit, we’d love to hear from you. ? Deadline: 5 pm, 12th March 2025. ?? For more information: Visit our website: https://lnkd.in/e7_4DAGj Also you can read our launch blog: https://lnkd.in/eYmJVYBh Let’s amplify this opportunity together! Please like, share, and comment to spread the word to as many communities as possible. Together, we can shape a better future. ??

Excited to prep for our next New Social Leaders (NSL) cohort! I’ve had some great chats recently with potential participants about their goals and learning styles. NSL isn’t your typical course— it is for people who are looking to explore the leadership of positive change, whatever that might mean to them, through sharing and learning with others in a small, supportive online space.?We focus on contemporary leadership stuff (like coaching, collaboration, community power, relationships, remote working, political change, funding, wellbeing, demand etc) exploring big ideas in small group discussion, with space for everyone to contribute. Each session is facilitated by me and has core questions and some reading and audio resources relating to that session's theme / topic shared in advance. There's also a network of NSL alumni (160 now!) who meet quarterly to explore each other’s work further and connect.?Feedback is really positive!? So, if you're trying your best to lead positive change and looking for a lovely bunch of change makers to learn alongside and build a relationship with, check it out —spots are filling up fast though.?Community Catalysts CIC https://lnkd.in/eCgr87Tq

His journey underscores the importance of accountability, resilience, and people-centric leadership, making his perspective a valuable asset for any NGO leader. ??"At Microsoft, I learned that people are not just a bullet point on a slide - they're our first priority.

You might have noticed a trait among people who occupy leadership positions but aren't great leaders: they talk a lot! And it’s not exclusive to CEOs and political leaders. In my experience, it goes back to class monitors, school captains, college club secys, bad bosses, and often founders who raise funds rather easily. It’s called the babble effect. A research shows that people who talk more are more likely to be viewed as leaders by others. Consequently, they occupy leadership positions not because of their competence, but because of the confidence they exude with their talking. At some point, we’ve all suffered at the hands of such a leader. Next time you encounter someone talking impressively, distill substance from the noise. Don't let charisma conceal their lack of capability.
