Ending 2023 on a high

We really did have a November to remember here at PURPOSEFULLY BLENDED LIMITED as we celebrated our 8th year of success. You may remember us sharing in September that our CEO and founder Lucy Philip had been shortlisted for two categories at the 2023 National Facilitator Awards. For the Live Facilitator of the Year award she was required to deliver a 40 minute bitesize session, to an audience of 50 people as part of a CPD day alongside 4 other shortlisted facilitators, the audience then voted for the person they felt delivered the best session. Bearing in mind that this was a group of experienced facilitators, many of who had been shortlisted for other awards, Lucy wanted to ensure that it added value for them as well as show casing her own skills and experience. She decided to immerse the group in the power of play, laughter and human connection with the intention being to demonstrate the power of energetic activity and engaging with our 'child state' when learning.

It was a high energy session, just what was needed after lunch and we are delighted to share that Lucy was voted joint winner of the award. A large part of what we do at PURPOSEFULLY BLENDED LIMITED is to support and develop internal trainers within Global organisations, so it was a great opportunity to model those skills in a different environment.

We also ran our #partnershippanel of the year based around the #alignment pillar of our impact?? system. We focused on engagement as a driver for performance and our expert panel Kim England-Godber , Kate Morris-Bates and Melanie Guttridge shared great insights around this topic including top tips starting with how to recognise the signs of low engagement and what to do about that.

Engagement as a Driver for Performance

Top 10 Key Takeaways

We've run six Partnership Panels this year, one for each pillar of the impact?? system and we are currently sharing a collection of the top tips, as part of our 12 Days of Impact campaign. It's a great opportunity to give thanks to all of our expert panelists for giving up their precious time and also support #trainingmanagers to aspire to great ways of working in 2024. Be sure to take a look and let us know which one you're going to give a try.

It's not too late to join one of our group coaching cohorts in 2024 or indeed sign up to some individual coaching/mentoring. As Training Managers/People Managers you do so much to help others, imagine the how great the impact will be if you give a small amount of time to your own personal development.

Lastly we wanted to share the great news that we had an article published in Chief Learning Officer Events & Awards . Measurement is a key component of our impact?? system so it was great to be given the platform to share how we build it in from the very start of our learning programmes and share practical advice on how to do this for others.
