Carol Glover, who coaches and mentors entrepreneurs and leaders, has told of her delight after co-creating and presenting a two-day women’s leadership online event, worldwide, in association with global giant Amazon.

Both she and American trained coach Marion Morrison, who run a business called ’Encoded Potential’ originated, developed and delivered all 10 hours of content.

Working collaboratively they delivered the first coaching ’lead event’ designed as a ’new approach to developing dynamic , female leadership skills’ from her office in Onchan.

Mrs Glover said her passion is for helping clients understand why it matters to ’think different, be different and act different’.

As part of her work as an accredited senior executive coach and mentor, she recently partnered with Marion Morrison, now living in Scotland, who she met while they both did advanced coach training with Los Angeles based self leadership guru, Jason Goldberg.

Their business ’Encoded Potential’ is set to ’disrupt more traditional leadership training and development’.

Mrs Glover said she was keen to get involved in working with Amazon because of their strong belief and need, due to explosive growth, to move ’from a traditional training model into the bespoke strengths based coaching arena’.

She added ’Personal commitment is high and each attendee can connect their own skill set and strengths to implementing Amazon’s key leadership principles, the best way that works for them to achieve their targets.’

She added: ’Results and feedback from the event were amazing and it was great that both we, as ’Encoded Potential’ and all attendees, shared, learned and grew in a mutually supportive and safe space.’

Mrs Glover referred to Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, who, she said, has a well quoted ethos: ’’Work Hard, Have Fun, Make History’’. She said: ’We did, and it was powerful.’

She said online attendees included women from countries including Canada, USA, Luxembourg, France, Germany, Spain, the Czech Republic and India.

’A bespoke range of coaching lead sessions, interactions and activities saw high levels of engagement, fun and learning for everyone involved.’

Carol said a special focus was on the leadership skillset for the future, where Harvard Business Review identified 19 key leadership traits for the 2020s, and via extensive research into gender based performance data, found that females are more likely to excel at 17 of these traits.

So a ’’safe space’’ was created for the attendees who took part in the two day online event.

Describing herself as ’The Maverick Maker’ on her website, she works with a wide range of people in the business world including leaders, founders, business owners, boards and teams who need help to:

Re-ignite their passion for what they do;

Become more agile in thinking, leading and delivering;

Create time to invest in developing themselves and their team;

Work on their business not in their business and

Redress their balance between work, life and family.

If you want a dose of ’thinking differently’ tonight (Thursday, November 19) at Mountain View Innovation Centre, Carol is doing a session called ’Dare to be Different : how to disrupt, innovate and think differently to win’.
