Beyond the Black Stump - BBS021 - 3 words for self-improvement in 2016 from Glen Redstall

Jan 29 2016 44 mins

G'day, this is Ken Simpson and welcome to Episode 21 of Beyond the Black Stump. The impact of my late start to the show in 2016 is that the January programs are a lot closer together than normal - hope you can keep up with all this listening!

Last week I shared some ideas about planning for 2016 and my 3 focus words. This week we have a practitioner sharing 3 words - but not just from a purely personal perspective. When I approach my gues today I explained the concept and asked him to come up with 3 words that he thought could be applicable across the discipline.

Our thought leader today is uniquely positioned to offer that advice. He is a practitioner and leads the BC and EM practice for a large government agency, and in that role he is a previous winner of the BCI regional Public Sector Manager of the Year. He also serves on the Board of the local BCI Chapter.

His third, and in my view most important, role that qualifies for this assignment - he Chairs the organising committee for the Australasian BC Summit so hopefully his 3 words will be informed by, and perhaps shape, the education offered at that event.

It will be interesting to hear how it unfolds. Especially as the theme chosen for the 2016 Summit "From practice to profession" was the inspiration for one of my own focus words for 2016.

Join me as we go Beyond the Black Stump with Glen Redstall.

Thanks to Glen for taking the time not only to record the show, but also to think and reflect on those 3 words. Prior to this show my guests have only been asked to turn up and chat - Glen was the first who got a homework assignment to go with it!

What do you think about his 3 words?

I only heard his choices for the first time when we recorded the show, I think they work - but jump on the LinkedIN group and share your thoughts.

Are you inspired or challenged to come on the show and share your ideas and experience with the global community? If so let me know - email, Twitter, LinkedIN, even old school phone or mail if you prefer.

This show is being released on the last Friday of the month, normally reserved for Book Club, but never fear there will be a special "bonus" book club episode out shortly.

As always if you find the show useful it would be great if you could jump onto iTunes and provide a comment or rating on the show.
