Have been at the IOD Leadership Conference the last two days – on LinkedIn have posted summaries of sessions, as know maybe people would like to go but cannot – like this one on Co-Chairing that may interest as we heard from Rāwiri Bhana, Pam Elgar ONZM MInstD, Victoria Spackman ONZM and Jill Steffert. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/steven-moe-0b3b008a_for-purpose-positives-activity-7195611950033063936-maSV?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop
Am also going to start profiling charities we work with and the amazing work they do – we all need some more HOPE at the moment and in the first two we hear from are:
CCS Disability Action – it is such an honour to help them and you can read the story here: https://www.parryfield.com/ccs-disability-action/ – I really appreciated this endorsement of our work as well as we try to really help and understand all we are working with “In addition to working to assess our current legal structure and provide us with a range of options to consider, Steven worked to understand our vision and values. This allowed us to form and authentic partnership with Steven, focused on our potential to serve disabled people and families now and into the future. As well as feeling like Steven was committed to using his knowledge to make a positive difference for our organisation, we appreciated his ability to bring legal concepts to life through clear and effective communication. Thank you, Steven and Parry Field Lawyers, for your support.”
