Progress School in Leeds
Just about to embark on a new venture in Leeds called Progress School, providing pay what you can professional and personal development. Progress School offers:
- A confidential and supportive environment in which to plan your personal and professional development
- Time to develop a vision for the ‘ideal you’ and to learn more about the ‘real you’ – how you are perceived by others
- Recognition of strengths and gaps – those potentials that you have not yet fully realised
- A learning agenda – identify what you need to learn and how you are going to learn it to bridge the gap between ‘real’ and ‘ideal’
- Access to a network of fellow Progress School members who will commit to helping you learn
- A chance to experiment – to try out new behaviours and skills – to see if they work for you
- Develop new practices that help you make progress
Progress School is designed to offer you a flexible process to support your development. The more you attend the more you are likely to get from it – but there is no curriculum to follow – just a process of reflection and action to engage with.

Some thoughts on the Front Line
- Front liners are capable of taking on far more responsibility than the boxes the system puts them in.
- Front liners are very modest about their own abilities and skills.
- Front liners want to do a great job for patients.
- Managers must learn to let go of more of the power they have thus allowing front liners to get on with the job.
- Managers must be there for support when front liners need it – they are well capable of judging when they need help.
Sensible reflections from Trevor Gay’s Simplicity blog
I am sure that you will agree with much of it.
But do you ACT on it?
Or do you let ‘the system’ get in the way?

Better Mentoring
Thinking of setting up a mentoring scheme? Here are some top tips to improve the chances of success:
- Educate mentees in how to choose and use a mentor – this will provide a better return on investment than training people in how to be good mentors
- Offer a mentor matching service – but always encourage people to look for their own mentors first – this ensures relevance
- Always encourage people to check out a few potential mentors rather than allocating them one
- Train people who have already been approached to become mentors – avoid training a whole bunch of people who want to mentor, but for whom there is no demand
Please do add more….
