Involvement
and change - leadership dilemmas and myths
This article takes a “story-based” style and explores the
importance of involvement and participation as a critical and often neglected
ingredient
in implementing change successfully and sustainably. The organisation that
is featured is undertaking a major change agenda if it is to survive, the
like of which it has never previously faced.......
The Amoenalife
magazine (www.amoena.co.uk) is dedicated to show women how they
can feel lovely again after breast cancer. The winter 2009 edition has
a great article entitled "Running on empty" (pages 6-9)
Below is an extract about
how Olive's book or CD (talking book) can help people overcoming cancer
to Recover their Energy:
Just as Judy Benson discovered, though,
when the energy is overdrawn, the process of returning the balance
to theblack can take longer than you think, but developing an awareness
of your own needs is crucial.
Author, Olive Hickmott uses the striking
analogy of the burnt out house. "Exhaustion is normally born out
of a major change. When the medics come in and do the breast cancer
treatment it is a bit like the fire brigade coming in - they put out
the fire magnificently but you have to deal with the devestation they
leave behind."
Olive's most recent book, Recover your
energy, written as a healing story, can help. Written for people with
Chronic Fatigue, it focuses on discovering your energy system and treating
it as respectfully as you would your circulatory or digestive system. "If
you accept the fact that once the fire brigade is gone, you need to
do some work on you (just as you would have to clean and tidy your
house), its easier to understand the process" explains Olive.
Her work includes helping women to recognise the difference between
negative energy (shock, anxiety, fear) and positive energy. "Most
of us don't know anything about our energy" says Olive "until
chemo comes along and takes it all away." Using a technique called
EnergeticNLP (neurolinguistic programming), Olive helps women better
manage their energy.
