An end to another beginning:

7/2/2015

 
As someone who has been aware of the Mindgap journey/supported me on it, I thought I would just quickly update you on where I'm at with work and the transition from WM Housing (3 months ago now!) to Mindgap and beyond. It's been an incredible journey over the last 3 months - stepping out from a well paid/solid job into....well little guaranteed really! 

Through Mindgap, I was very 'blessed' (the only word that fits really) to immediately secure a big contact 2 weeks after I left WM Housing. This work saw me delivering training in the Marches region to about 70 Charity leaders. Dream job! That contract paid for my 1st 2 months of work. Brilliant!

Now for the news.......As part of prepping for my Mindgap role, I undertook a qualification at Herefordshire and Worcestershire Group training and, on the course, was made aware of a job there. The job was leading their Workforce Development Department: Management and leadership training and loads more. It's the commercial bit of the organisation so they want the post to grow it big to generate income for the Charity.​

Well, I went for the job and yesterday was told I was successful!!. Start in August.

I was/am loving the freedom of the Mindgap business but when this offer came in with salary, car and all - it was hard not to look at it . The more I have prepared for the role the more I am so excited about it. All I wanted to do in Mindgap but lots more - and local!

Mindgap still exists (in concept) and I would love to talk to you about what I could do for you - as long as it doesn't clash with the new role. All I know is I have had the privilege of transitioning out of one career/sector and now into one that I have dreamed of for some time: Training and leadership and management development. Great!

So that's all I know for now. Thank you so much for your support over the last few months. It's meant a lot. 

Regards

    About:

    Mindgap is trying to be a different kind of business. For starters it's based on some different values but also it's about a new journey for Dave. A journey from being paid at the end of every month since leaving school at 16 to carving a new space for him and his family. A bit of work/life balance adjustment!

    If you want to know more about this journey, the blog is where to stay connected!

    This blog is also a place where, in time, you'll get the low down on the kind of stuff that Mindgap is all about - sneaky peeks about the future, who's blogging what and snippets of advice that will serve you well.

    Grab a brew once a week and enjoy!

    PASSIONATE ABOUT UNLOCKING POTENTIAL IN PEOPLE - TEAMS - BUSINESS - COMMUNITIES
"Mindgap unpacked a range of strategic frameworks for us ‘to hang our strategic thinking on’". "We looked at future trends, our competitors, opportunities for diversifying and a range of other issues. The analysis Mindgap led us through helped us reach a clear set of thoughts around where we needed to go next". "Sessions were challenging, inspirational, encouraging and, above all practical in helping us get to where we needed to get to as a business". "Mindgap was brought in for a 'futuristic thinking' session, the aim was to get our Senior Management team to think about the rapidly changing world we work in, what the future could look like, how we could be derailed etc. It was a great opportunity to lift us out of the day job to really think about stress testing our business". "Senior staff were energised and having leaders across the business thinking differently was very productive". "Mindgap brought a down to earth, straight talking approach mixing humour with fact/fiction that got us all thinking outside of the box. I would recommend them if you want to challenge the status quo"
