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 recognised endings hugely impact those who remain, and may be carried into the next team, the next project and the organisation as a whole.
In this podcast, Alison Lucas (Randolph Partnership) and Lizzie Bentley-Bowers (The Causeway Coaching) share why their thinking as practitioners turned towards endings, how they incorporated that thinking into their coaching and facilitation work in ways that their clients found valuable and are now sharing it with you in the hope that it may be of support to you as leaders navigating your way through this particularly difficult time, as well as in the future.
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. Collaboration, shared experience and shared learning is a hallmark of their practise and they enjoy and benefit from the support and challenge they offer each other. Holding the pursuit of the best outcomes for their clients at the heart of their collaborations, they are often to be heard saying “I wish we had recorded this conversation!” and it is their aim, in sharing this particular conversation, that it will start one that is useful to you and your organisation.

This is Endings for Beginnings - the podcast to help leaders begin planning for a better ending.
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 about the work she, and her colleagues at Stewarding Loss, are doing to support better endings in the not-for-profit sector. Iona also set up and was the founding Director of the Jo Cox Foundation. In this conversation we take an in depth look at the multi faceted 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. You can find Iona at www.stewardingloss.com

In this episode, focused on transition and change, Alison and Lizzie talk to colleagues and clients about the application and impact of their work. In conversation with Sally Chessman, Rosie Ferguson and Shoshana Boyd-Gelfand they delve deeper into why this work matters, what the benefits are and how to go about it.

Endings for Beginnings
Organisations face a myriad of different kinds of endings every day. Some more obvious and traumatic, such as the death of a colleague, and others more everyday, from the completion of a project, to promotions, redundancies, mergers – the list is long. But while we invest heavily in beginnings and new starts in terms of time, energy and emotion, as leaders we can move on rather too swiftly from endings. Yet incomplete and unacknowledged endings impact the contribution and motivation of those who remain, and may be carried into the next team, the next project and the organisation as a whole.
In 2020, the current context we all find ourselves in, one of many layers of often distressing endings, led hosts and professionally accredited coaches and facilitators, Alison Lucas and Lizzie Bentley Bowers, to create resources to support leaders, including this podcast, and we share it with you in the hope that it may be of support to you as leaders navigating your way through this time as well as in the future.
