Those of you who have followed me for a while know that I’m a fan of Dr. Brené Brown. A Social Work professor and author of ‘Daring Greatly’ and ‘Rising Strong’, I really resonate with her work. So much so that I decided to go through her “The Daring Way™” certification program. The Daring Way™ is a community of practitioners who believe in the power of owning our stories, and who recognize that our willingness to be truly open and honest is our most accurate measure of courage. I just completed the certification process and have been working to integrate the material into my ongoing work with organizations, particularly around strategic planning. Helping organizations to fully own their stories and immerse themselves in charting an authentic path for their next chapter has been highly rewarding. While I’m still experimenting with how to bring the material into that work, I’m confident that the language of story is universal and that it can be powerful in shaping how an organization imagines its future. Beyond strategic planning, The Daring Way™ has been a powerful learning experience that has given me a new set of tools to use in facilitating a variety of conversations. I’m very grateful that I had the opportunity and that I can now share that learning through my work.
New Resources Section on Governance!
Kim and I have had the honour of being engaged in a number of recent projects involving Boards of Directors from non-profit organizations. From facilitating Strategic and Tactical Planning to policy development work to Board training events, it has broadened our understanding of both the needs and challenges that Boards of Directors face. With that in mind, we are starting a new section in the Resources page of our website dedicated to Governance materials. We started with posting a sample policy on conflict of interest. We plan to populate it with many more resources over time. We’re interested in your feedback about the kinds of resources or articles that would be helpful.
Some Gifts to Mark the Season!
Just wanted to take a minute to wish everyone Happy Holidays!!! Here is a funny Christmas video to keep you entertained (warning… it’s reflects my warped sense of humour), and a link to a couple of new resources (sample policies) on the Free Resources page. We’ll have at least one new article sometime in January and many more are in the pipeline! Take care and stay safe.
Forgive me… and accept my offering
My apologies… it’s been a while since a posted anything (I’m having flashbacks to being in a confessional!). Things have been very busy, so I took a bit of a hiatus. There’s a new resource waiting for you in the Free Resources section. In lieu of an article, I’ll give a bit of an update.
Some recent developments at WRH Consulting include;
Happy Holidays to All Our Friends!!!
My colleague Kim and I would like to wish all of you a happy holiday season. Instead of the usual card thing, we decided to sing you a little song. Check out our amazing video here!!!
Take care and looking forward to see all of you in the new year!
Launching our new site!
Welcome to WRH Consulting’s new website! It took a bit longer than we had hoped, but Kim and I are very happy with the new look. And the process to get it completed was a good one. We had to really think about what it was we wanted to offer and why we thought those things would be of value to our clients. We also had to think about ways to make the site engaging so that our current and future clients would have a reason to visit. [Read more…]
