Welcome to the ‘New Normal’ 2021
We can turn negatives into positives
Barbara Hankins MSc was able to turn negative life events into opportunities for life-long learning and growth.
Being made redundant at a pivotal time in her life triggered childhood PTSD. She got angry but used the strength of the emotion to turn her life around.
We are more capable than we think
Undertaking Psychometric Assessments in London Barbara discovered problem solving and analytical skills within the top 2% in the country.
This led to her role as Information Officer and Tourist Information Centre Manager for a Regional Tourist Board.
She became an Entrepreneur in Hong Kong in 1988/9. Returning to the UK and as a Catalyst for Change, Barbara built a successful multi-sector, multi-project career.
The gift and message of Covid-19
“the future is ours to create”
Barbara’s mission is to give HOPE:
- For a better future after redundancy because she knows people are born with innate talents that await opportunities to ‘bring them out‘.
- To assist companies regenerate to become re-humanised conscious businesses.
For Individuals:
Being made redundant can change our lives for good or bad. It can trigger past traumas or create new ones, leading to release of strong emotions. Fear may crumble the foundation on which we built our lives.
The resulting sense of loss can be overwhelming but at some stage our rational self will awaken because we can distance ourselves from the pain.
Barbara decided to pivot to support those made or being made redundant.
For Businesses:
You long to get everyone back into the fold but recognise the pandemic has changed people.
The work environment post COVID requires a complexity mind-set and collaboration with employees
Business will be rehumanised because employees will have more say and want acknowledgement of their skills and experience. They know their roles better than leaders, as demonstrated by how they adapted to work from home.
A business is only as good as its people – will you rise to the challenge or sink into oblivion?
