Welcome back or hello if you’re new here,
October is turning out to be a particularly busy month so our theme, Resilience, is perfect.
We have been running workshops on Unconscious Bias, Growth Mindset, Value-Adding as a Finance Business Partner and Finance for Non-Finance Managers. We have also been recording a lot of podcasts for both Magical Learning and Adapt with Danette FM.
We have also been practicing things that help us maintain our resilience, including time outdoors, connecting with friends and loved ones, attending a live concert and being gentle on ourselves. As we move towards the holiday season we encourage you to invest some time in your well-being too.
Danette really enjoyed Brené Brown’s latest book, Strong Ground and we have included her video book review below. If you are interested in leading transformation in a positive way, then this book is for you.
Until next month, stay magical.

The conversation emphasizes the importance of diversity in teams and the need for continuous learning and adaptation in business. The hosts conclude with insights on how to pivot and evolve in response to market changes, encouraging listeners to embrace a mindset of growth and exploration.
