Rebecca Jones
M.Ed, PGCE,
GWT, UKYour staff could and should be your best source of innovation. They are capable of delivering exceptional customer experiences, taking ownership of growing your organisation and having the kind of enterprising thinking that proves to be a game changer.
You could call me a workshop leader and conference keynote speaker.
You could, but those titles don't quite describe what I really do.
In fact, I help teams think differently – overcoming hurdles and breaking down barriers. I alter mindsets and empower individuals.
At the heart of every talk that I deliver is my belief that we can all achieve more if we alter our mindset, and view things with another lens. Having failed at school I started my first business at the age of 19. Twenty six years and four businesses later I now focus on encouraging others to embrace enterprise and be more willing to step up and achieve in the world of work and business.
Using fun stories and activities to explain growth mindset, overcoming obstacles and being more business focused, your audiences will leave believing they have the ability to achieve more.
My talks are a blend of my knowledge of people development and business growth to provide an interesting blend of thinking and ideas when it comes to business success. "Can your staff be more enterprising to help your organisation grow?" "Is mindset holding you, your team and your organisation back"? Then let me help you.
I'm told that I provide a fun approach to learning and a relaxed but knowledgeable speaking style one of my clients described me as "enthusiastic without the cheese".
"You'll never make anything of yourself". "You should lower your expectations". "Education isn't for you".
Those were the words of a long line up of my teachers (and those words were compounded by my dyslexia). Having left school at 16 with a handful of non-academic O-levels, they could easily have been right.
Headstrong as I was, I was determined that I would prove them wrong, and I embarked on a variety of jobs throughout the care sector.
At 19, I jumped head first into running a business. I quickly learned that it wasn't as easy as it had seemed, and I returned to education, quickly finding a new love for learning (perhaps education was for me, after all). Rather than allowing my dyslexia to hold me back, it instead challenged me to find my own way to success.
In my mid 20's, I set up a training company that would open the door to those with promise and potential (many of whom are the same people that are also told only of their limitations).
Far from education "not being for me", I'm now a qualified teacher with a variety of business qualifications (including a Master's degree in education). I've also been involved in academia and research, as well as lecturing and writing about enterprise and business.
Today my work draws upon my knowledge of people development and business growth.
My clientele includes banks, national companies, not-for-profits, independent schools, small and large companies, government bodies and universities. Not bad for someone who "would never make something of herself".
'Enterprise Within' and 'Stretchy Thinking'
My work comes from the melting pot of my personal and professional lives – inspired by my experiences as a trainer, business owner, mum and (wait for it) grandmother (a brand-new learning curve in itself!).
