#101 Lucy Harrison, The Soft Skills Guru (Part 1)

The Sunday Lunch Project Manager

In this episode, we have the first part of my chat with Lucy Harrison, The Soft Skills Guru Lucy's aim is to inspire and equip a million people to think, act and lead with more humanity, making the workplace more collaborative, entrepreneurial and creative. She has been working with teams and their leaders for more than twenty years using experiential, applied and facilitated learning, and founded the award-winning team and leadership consultancy, the Harrison Network in 2014. The Harrison Network exists to inspire people to bring more of their humanity into the workplace. By doing so, we facilitate the development of cultures in which people can thrive and help change the world. They believe that given the right organisational culture, people will thrive. A culture of self-awareness, responsibility, support and joint sense of purpose allows people to take things to a higher level. A culture of selfishness leads to ultimate downfall. If we get these right, we have a chance of solving the complex challenges we face at a business, community and planetary level. Culture is changed by individuals, leaders and teams interacting differently. Harrison Network helps people interact differently and build thriving cultures. She is proud that her work with entrepreneurial thinking and psychological safety is beginning to be recognised beyond the nuclear and outdoor industries where it all began (if you know Cumbria, you'll understand why these two industries are connected!). Author of best-selling book 'Soft Skills for Tough Jobs; building teams that work one conversation at a time' (available here) which is centred on my original interpersonal approach NALED. When not coaching, facilitating and training, she can be found on the hills or in the water in her beloved Lake District, keeping up the adventures. https://theharrisonnetwork.co.uk/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucyharrison1/ Get her book: https://amzn.to/3SCjeuB --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sundaylunchpm/message
