This is Endings for Beginnings - the podcast to help leaders begin planning for a better ending.
There's always so much emphasis on a good beginning but what about the right ending? As leaders we can move on rather too quickly. Yet unfinished and unrecognised endings hugely impact those who remain, and may be carried into the next team, the next project and the organisation as a whole.
Following the response to their first article and podcast in 2020, Alison and Lizzie’s intention to start more conversations about endings in organisations in order to facilitate brighter beginnings has very much become a reality. In this episode Alison and Lizzie talk to fellow endings activist Iona Lawrence, founding Director of the Jo Cox foundation, about the work she and her colleagues at Stewarding Loss are doing to support better endings in the not-for-profit sector. In this conversation we take an in depth look at the multifaceted nature of endings in organisations and discuss why this work is important to individuals, to organisations and to the not-for-profit sector as a whole.
Alison and Lizzie are professionally accredited coaches and facilitators, working predominantly at board level and across all three sectors, who love to enrich their practise by working and learning together. They are passionate about staying continually curious and paying attention to their clients individual and commercial needs and outcomes.
