  5. Good Bye Dear Reader

    Good Bye Dear Reader

    When Alison and Lizzie wrote Good Bye, they always knew they wanted their final chapter to be a Good Bye to their readers; an opportunity for them to use their Four Steps of Ending well Reality, Emotions, Accomplishments and Ritual, to end the process of writing their book. As you’ll hear in this episode, when it came to writing that chapter, they didn’t feel like it was quite the right moment, and the idea to make the last chapter a podcast was born. And this is it! In this first episode of the new Good Bye podcast (previously Endings for Beginnings) Alison and Lizzie take each other, and you, their readers and listeners, through the Reality, Emotions, Accomplishments and Ritual of saying a Good Bye to writing their book. You can find out more, order a copy of Good Bye, or get in touch with Alison and Lizzie, at www.GoodByeCoach.co.uk Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    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 You can find out more about our work, or contact us, at www.endingsforbeginnings.co.uk. 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.  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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    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.  You can find out more, or contact us at www.endingsforbeginnings.co.uk.   REFERENCES AND FURTHER READING Managing Transitions by William Bridges Systemic Coaching and constellations 3rd edition by John Whittington Managing With the Brain in Mind by David Rock A Grief Observed by C S Lewis Little Gidding by T S Elliot How Grief Can Help Us Win When We Lose - TEDx talk by Sophie Sabbage Daring Greatly by Brené BrownWhat Do You Say About Saying Goodbye - Ending Psychotherapy by Keith Tudor This is Endings for Beginnings - the podcast to help leaders begin planning for a better ending.  Hosted on Acast.
