Sometimes it’s time for a real change. The business must make a radical departure. A team or division has to reinvent themselves totally.  A successful business has to be let go. How do you do it well? How do the people involved move on to something new?

I’m old enough to have been part of several reinventions and fresh starts, personal and organisational. As a result I’ve been asked to speak to executive teams and who orgaisations at pivotal points in their history helping them prepare to make the next step.

These have included an entrepreneur owned hospitality business, preparing to be sold into a new corporate future; a food business, moving from being owned by its founders to becoming an employee owned business; a 150 year old firm moving from one business entirely into another, and taking as much of its heritage with it as it could; a monastic community looking to find a new spiritual leader and form a new community, and many more examples ….

I’ve also worked with smaller groups of senior executives about to depart from businesses, helping them to find a new life after their corporate success.

Drawing on my own stories of reinvention, of developing beginner’s mind, drawing on the spiritual truths of letting go so that  “every day we begin again” – this is a powerful and personal exploration of the pain and power of starting anew, leaving people ready to explore the future with hope and some clues to what to expect on the path.
