Spring bulbs shooting up all around me deepen my yearning for change, new growth, fresh insights, revitalised possibilities and tender steps into unknown territory. I’m in a conscious state of significant transformation right now.

My love of consultancy work is driven by my passion for meeting new people and helping them to explore their changes, growth and development. I LOVE seeing people as they truly are in all their complex and simple quests for increasing their success at work and fulfilment in life. I relish exploring the deeper structures of motivations, thinking and feeling that create the behaviours that result in the work, relationships and lives we have.
I feel deeply honoured to share the journey with so many of you who are stepping into your potential and beginning to navigate new territories and I feel humbled and inspired by the courage and faith I am entrusted to witness and the (sometimes hidden) visions that I hold in my heart, often through time.
As a consultant, facilitator, and coach I am privileged to be a change agent and despite the breadth and depth of my experience, I am just as vulnerable as anyone else to all the fears and anxieties aroused by change regardless of whether it’s initiated or imposed. And as a change agent, like many of you, I am also at risk of neglecting my own conscious transformations at times.
Luckily my lifelong friend and co-coach Paul King is never too far away when I need some coaching or a sounding board. He has recently helped me shift some mental fog and clear the way for the next stage of my development.
My next steps are not completely clear yet but some of my emerging change is about balance and focus. I want to shift the balance of my work now to create more time for creative design and writing, and I want to focus my consultancy and coaching work on developing fresh thinking and tools for a new approach to leadership.
So I can develop both of these passions, I am transferring my consultancy and coaching practice to Future Plan Consulting where my good friends Pat and Nick Naylor have been collaborating with me for a while now. You can reach me through Future Plan at lorraine@futureplan.co.uk if you would like to contact me regarding consulting, coaching, facilitating and training.
You will still be able to contact me at lorraine@passionatwork.co.uk for e-programmes and e-tools for leadership, team and personal development resources. You will see some changes to the web site soon.
I’d love to be in touch with you through both Passion@work and Future Plan where I will be posting about a new way of leading very soon. However if you would like to unsubscribe please just hit reply and put ‘Unsubscribe’ in the subject line – I will miss you but I understand. If you would like to continue to receive emails from us at Future Plan and from me at Passion@work you need do nothing at all.
I am both excited and scared by these next steps of my evolution and I hope you are conscious of your own journey into the freshness of your new territory.
What are you shifting, opening, embracing, balancing or focusing on in your next development steps?
Passionately, Lorraine
