Guest speakers:

 

Jane Mitchell, JL&M Ltd

Jane MJane’s career started in television broadcasting at the BBC in London, where she worked   with the best in the business on such TV icons as Tomorrow’s World, Grange Hill and Blue   Peter. It was at that early stage that she developed a  passion for effective communication and learned the value of mutual respect and great teamwork.

In 2005, Jane set up JL&M and now advises, 'guides' and supports (some might say      challenge), leaders in organisations large and small, as they find ways to embed their ethics, values-based leadership and behaviours. At the heart of Jane's work is the principle that people willingly take responsibility for their own behaviour and actions at work when they understand what the ‘corporate’ ambition is and how they can contribute to it, and are recognised for that effort. “There is wisdom, knowledge and enthusiasm at every level of an organisation and when dots are connected effectively the insights everyone gains can be harnessed to drive real and positive change.”  It's connecting the dots that is the key.

Janes’ clients who have had the courage to tackle these difficult issues, include Rolls-Royce Holdings, BAE Systems, BP, SERCO, Meggitt, BT and Co-operative Bank.
