Welcome back to The PIVOT Leadership Podcast. In this episode, we’re going to be looking at how looking into the future builds and develops perseverance within leaders. To discuss this, I am joined by Dr. Graham Norris. Graham is an organisational psychologist and futurist who helps individuals and organisations create more ambitious futures for themselves. By combining the latest research into psychology with the tools of strategic foresight, Graham empowers participants in his workshops, training and keynotes to thrive amid uncertainty. The bottom-line outcome for participants in his off-sites, workshops, training and keynotes is a clear understanding of the future and the ability to make decisions with conviction. We delve into what it truly means to be a futurist and examine real-world examples of how he prepares leaders for the challenges ahead. Graham also shares psychological strategies to help leaders build perseverance and resilience within their teams.

Welcome back to The PIVOT Leadership Podcast. In this episode, we're focusing on optimising your team. As the hybrid working model has become more popular, managing a team with both in-person and remote workers requires new skills and tools. Leaders’ focus will need to shift from effort or hours at desks, to outcomes based on set objectives. It is important that they pivot and optimise their hybrid team by making passion contagious no matter where, or how, they are working. Today’s guest, Sarah-Jayne Bray, is an expert in this, having been an engagement manager for South Wales Police. Sarah-Jayne has been a part of the policing family for over 20 years. An experienced internal engagement manager, SJB has supported the NPCC Wellbeing of Investigator group since 2021. She initiated the creation of the Investigator Wellbeing Toolkit and is lead for the annual Investigator Wellbeing Week of Action, attracting more than 4,000 registrations making it one of the largest engagement events in the wellbeing calendar. Sarah-Jayne is a passionate supporter of diversity and inclusion, and was chair of the SWP Gender Equality Network, chairing the All Wales Gender Equality Network meeting throughout 2021. She is a member of the Thames Valley Women’s Network, leading the TVWN Boost Programme to improve the confidence of women in TVP. We’ll be discussing how Sarah-Jayne ensures she optimises her team to their fullest potential. She shares the difficulties they’ve faced in hiring for detective roles, and how they have overcome these challenges. Sarah-Jayne also shares simple, actionable advice for any leaders who want to optimise their team's output.
