Friday Footnote # 140

Ysgrifennwyd gan A.R.Fairbank@swansea.ac.uk / 28/7/2023

Each week we share loads of content amongst Team ION and with our network. Content that inspires us, which we find helpful, or just makes us smile. We thought we would start sharing these insights every Friday. Welcome to Friday Footnote. In this week's edition we focus on our partnership with Tokio Marine.

Developing a team of team leaders with Tokio Marine

This week's #FridayFootnote is a Tokio Marine special. We have a new blog about the work we have done with Tokio Marine HCC over the last 12+ months, a new film where we catch up with Managing Director Ian Rowles and delegates from programme 1, Chloe Buttle and Gavin Howells. And then we look forward to next weeks graduation ceremony with our 2nd group of team leaders.

In our latest blog, as we release our first of four short films with Tokio Marine (see below), we thought it would be a great opportunity to explain a bit more about the bespoke programme we have ran with Tokio Marine.

Next Tuesday we are really looking forward to celebrating with our latest set of team leaders at the Llanerch Vineyard. After a morning of reflection, and celebration of what each of the delegates individually, and as a group, have achieved, we will be joined by members of the Tokio Marine management team for lunch and an afternoon of activities, presentations of the delegates 'live' change projects, and the graduation ceremony itself. Fingers crossed for good weather!

Keep an eye on our social channels next Tuesday for all the latest from the graduation, and over the coming weeks for further chats with Ian, Chloe and Gavin.

'The activities and way of learning is totally different to anything I'd ever done before'

In our latest alumni case study we caught up with Hannah Booth (pictured right) from the Magnolia Centre for Health & Wellbeing in Neath to find out more about her business, why she decided to take part in our leadership programme, her key takeaways, and the impact her ION experience had on both her and her business.

You can read the the full chat on our website.

""Gallaf fynd â llawer o'r hyn rydyn ni wedi'i ddysgu yn ôl i'r busnes. Roedd person arall o'r un busnes ar y cwrs yma gyda mi a byddai'n wych i'r ddau ohonon ni eistedd i lawr, adlewyrchu ar yr hyn rydyn ni wedi'i ddysgu a mynd â hynny yn ôl i mewn i'r busnes"."

""Mae fy nyhead a fy ngallu i i ddysgu yn tyfu gyda phob sesiwn. Mae fy meddwl i’n cael ei ymestyn, ac rydw i'n datblygu o ganlyniad i'r cynnwys a'r profiad sy’n cael ei rannu gydag eraill.""

""Rydw i wastad wedi argymell y cwrs yma o'r dechrau un ers y profiad dros nos. Hwn oedd y cwrs mwyaf pleserus i mi ei wneud erioed (ac rydw i wedi gwneud cryn dipyn!). Fe wnaeth fy merch a fy mhartner busnes ddilyn y cwrs, roedd gennym ni reolwr arall wnaeth ei gwblhau y llynedd ac un arall yn dechrau yn y flwyddyn newydd. Rydw i'n meddwl y dylai pob person o fewn rôl arweinyddiaeth brofi'r cwrs yma. Mae'n wahanol i unrhyw un arall ac mae'r sgiliau sydd wedi’u dysgu, a’r twf personol, yn rhywbeth na ddylid ei golli. Mae’n siŵr o ysbrydoli unrhyw arweinydd, mae’n siŵr o ddod â gwên i wythnos o straen a rhai strategaethau i'ch helpu chi drwyddi. Rydw i’n credu bod hwn yn un cwrs na fedr fethu yn syml iawn"."

""Roedden ni’n ei chael yn anodd cael dros £2 filiwn o refeniw fel cwmni. Yr hyn a roddodd ION leadership i mi oedd yr hyder i edrych ar gaffaeliadau, edrych ar ddod â mwy o staff i mewn, edrych ar wahanol wasanaethau, ac yn gyffredinol, ym mlwyddyn gyntaf ION leadership, fe wnaethon ni gyrraedd £2.1 miliwn, a oedd yn gyflawniad aruthrol, a nawr, 18 mis yn ddiweddarach, mae'r cwmni'n troi mwy na £4 miliwn. ’Fyddwn i ddim wedi gallu gwneud hynny heb ION leadership. ’Fyddwn i ddim wedi bod yn ddigon hyderus"."
