Building stronger teams through value building behaviours

Posted in News on 25 Jun 2014

Back to school for a big slice of personal development

Over the past couple of days the Douglas Scott team have been taking part in their 2nd Lily Newman workshop of the year - "Building stronger teams through value building behaviours".  

Lily is a behavioural strategist and leadership consultant with 20 years’ experience of building better businesses and stronger teams. An ex-BBC journalist with a first-class honours degree in Communications (majoring in psychology and corporate communications) Lily has worked with a wide range of company leaders and household names, helping them to understand, communicate with and influence their staff, stakeholders and audiences more effectively. A brand development specialist, she also works with companies to help them develop ‘value building behaviours’ within their workforces, ensuring that brand values get off the paper and into the culture of their businesses.

Lily is also a lifetime comedy junkie who has managed tours and fronted comedy events for some of the UK’s biggest names (including Jo Brand, Jonny Vegas, Dave Gorman, Chris Addison and Peter Kay) during her time as Head of Corporate Fundraising and Celebrity Events for a national charity. She recently organised a 24 hour 3 Peaks Charity Challenge for 17 of the funniest people in Britain and found that many of them had lost their sense of humour by the time they crossed the finishing line.

Lily met our MD Kath in her capacity as lead tutor on the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Programme at the Faculty of Business and Law at Manchester Metropolitan University. 

It was a fantastic two days which provided a real insight into who we are as a business and why our people are so important to the success of our brand.  

Thanks Lily - looking forward to September now.
