At the mental health manager's meetings


Bola's Learning Diary

Tuesday, 17 September 2013


On September 16th 2013 i attended the MH Managers meeting at my company. Now for a bit of context, we recently started using a business partner model so I partner with the MH aspect of our organisation hence i attended the meeting to give the managers an update about what learning and development and also to talk about Recovery Star training. Recovery Star is a person centred tool we use in Certitude to support our service users. So what were my key lessons from this meeting.

To start with i found out that i sometimes talk too much and don't listen. Well honestly that is something i already knew but it dawned on me more at this meeting. Secondly I listened to Susie Petherick, our new Leadership Development Manager who gave a brilliant presentation and really engaged the audience. I think her listening skills and ability to use light humour was outstanding. Also was the encouragement for me to network more.

The goals for me out of the programme was:

  • To visit our services more often
  • To design a new Recovery Star training programme that is more blended and less classroom focused.
