Some quick updates, all Wholehearted-related:

Articles five and six in the “Leadership as…” series are now out, published first on LinkedIn:

Leadership as inviting Leadership as representing

You might like to start with that sixth one – indirectly, it gives an overview of what’s in the preceding articles. Still to come is just one concluding post, “Untangling the strands”, for which an alternative title might be “How not to scale”, so watch out for that!

The autumn LIKE training has moved to evenings, UK time, and expanded to eight online sessions to include one on “Organising without Organising” (aka “Organising at Human Scale”):

30 September to 18 November, online, cohort-based – 8 weekly sessions, 2 hours each:
Leading in the Knowledge Economy (LIKE) – Autumn 2025 cohort

As always, shout if you think you might in any way qualify for a discount. The more the merrier!

November 5th-7th in Malmö, I’ll be speaking on Wholehearted-related matters not once but twice at the Øredev conference. To make the most of the trip, I’m looking into the possibility of doing an in-person LIKE there or across the bridge in Copenhagen on the 3rd and 4th. If your organisation might be interested in hosting it, do please let me know urgently – I have been asked to book my travel soon.

And then my near-annual visit to India for Kanban India 2025 in early December, and not for the first time, a two-city trip. Beginning this time with a Leading with Outcomes: Train-the-Trainer / Facilitator (TTT/F) in Pune, I’ll also be doing LIKE in person in Bengaluru, where the conference is. Fingers crossed, the event page for that second training will be up in time for the end-of-month roundup. These events (training and conference) attract people from outside as well as inside India, and I’d love to see you there.

Finally, to Wholehearted itself. I hope you don’t mind me mentioning again just how crucial your Amazon ratings and especially reviews are to its success – and hugely appreciated! Candidly, it could do with a few more. You can find both print and Kindle editions of the book on amazon.co.uk, amazon.com, amazon.de, and other Amazon sites around the world. Outside of Amazon, the e-book is also available on LeanPub, Kobo, Apple Books, and Google Play Books.
