‘It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are…’
Wise words from (elder sibling) Roy Disney and certainly worth reflecting on.
The subject of ‘Values‘ is in the news : individual values; corporate values; societal values; nation and continent values.

Never one to shy away from the judicious use of ‘metaphor’, I am bemused by its growing usage. I enjoy hearing others dabble in the alchemy of words. My clients know I’m not a purist, so I don’t get tetchy when I hear a metaphor being stretched too far.

Anniversaries, one way or another, are about progress – moving away from a moment in time. They may be filled with joy or the poignancy of loss. They often remember significant events which may, or may not, touch our hearts and affect our future outlook on life.

We had a particularly difficult outplacement requirement as part of an organisational change process and Caroline gave nothing but 100% in ensuring that it was a successful outcome.
She went way beyond the call of duty or expectations to provide support for the individual and ensured that it progressed only when the individual was ready to progress. There was certainly no “Clock Watching” in terms of service provision.
Caroline is a supreme professional when it comes to outplacement – she can provide both the initial support/counselling but – more importantly – can challenge the individual to ensure that their next career steps are the right ones.
In what can be a particularly difficult sector of employee development, Caroline stands out as a leading light in Outplacement.
