I came across this document when I was having a clearcut of my bookcase.  

Finding it again brought back mostly good; but to be honest, some mixed emotions and memories as there was a lot of pressure to get it completed and launched at the time!

My most vivid memory is of putting a lot of pressure on myself to make sure that it was robust for both recruitment and development purposes:
- Behavioural framework - rather than focused on skills and knowledge
- it's purpose was for both recruitment and development in a seamless way   
- that it's intention was transparent and its purpose accepted by those who would use it 
- that all the behavioursindicated were, in fact, important to the organisation (its values in particular), explicit and measurable 
- above all that it could stand up to the most critical review. 

​I developed this about 10 years ago for a local authority; and looking through it again this week; I was impressed with what we achieved ( support from colleagues of course ever-present!).  I have to say though that it was my 'baby' and I was accountable and responsible for its development.  The pressure was on me!  I believe that the organisation used it for many years after it's production and my departure from the organisation. 

Yes, I'm proud of it!

The use of mantras
​


I encourage the use of mantras - also known as affirmations - for self development for the managers and leaders that I work with. 'Mantra" is a Sanskrit word and translates to 'tool of the mind'.

Here's why:
I love the description of what a mantra is that is shared by Vilavat Inayat Khan; "The practice of mantra actually kneads the flesh of the body with sound".
I find that the use of mantras can be very helpful to people who wish to give their attention and energy to changing or improving a particular thought process, attitude or way of being, feeling or doing. Mantras can lead to behavioural change. For example when changing to assertive behaviour instead of using aggressive or passive approaches. Careful listening and connecting with my clients means that I am able to make the best fit mantra suggestions for the most significant impact in their lives.
