About Dream Dare Dazzle

Leadership isn't a policy. It's what people do when nobody's checking. Jim Bennett has spent a career in places where getting leadership wrong costs more than money: Strathclyde Fire Brigade, North Sea offshore operations, and more than twenty-five years since as a leadership and transformational coach in the Major Accident Hazards sector. Stronger, Smarter, Safer is about the part of leadership no procedure covers: how you talk to people, how you read a room, and whether your team will tell you the truth when it's inconvenient. These are practical conversations for supervisors, managers and safety professionals, the people who set the tone whether they mean to or not, and for anyone leading from where they are. The work rests on three frameworks: HOT Leadership: Honesty, Openness, Trust; Heart Leadership, on leading from service rather than task and control; and the VICTORY Code: Vision, Inspiration, Courage, Teamwork, Organisation, Resilience, You. Over 300 episodes on leadership, change, transformation and self-development, for people and organisations at every level. Start anywhere.

   Steady under Load: Standards

   Success and failure can be viewed by different eyes and filters. For me, ther are pretty few objective measures of success. What may be a dismal failure to someone could be a dazzling success to another. The opposite may also be true. If you do something that other people go 'crazy about' , but you know deep down that you have fallen short of the standards you expect of yourself, I would suggest not taking the acclaim they give you. For me, I've found that if you life life according to other people's definition of success you will never be happy and you'll be a slave to external 'forces' - let's explore what living by your standards and not other people's means.

   Steady under Load: authenticity

   There are seven billion people on our planet. Many will tell you what to think and do, for me, the most important voice to listen to is yours. It's the classic "walk your own path, be your own person" - aye that's easy to say - not so easy to do in our turbulent world. Let's explore that concept of being your authentic self and about having the resilience of being "steady under load"..... Stronger, Smarter, Safer

   Steady under Load: Imposter Syndrome

   eNobody is immune to imposter syndrome. I am certainly not. There were days when I was presenting a workshop in foreign soil and had nagging thoughts "Why are you doing this? Are you really qualified...., on, on, on." Now I can reply I am drawing on my experience, which in my opinion, is as valuable as an academic course. Yes, the academic courses give us a solid foundation to build on, for me, it's the application of the knowledge by lived experience that makes the difference. People think that imposter syndrome comes from inside us. I think they are wrong. It's forced on us by other people. I've found over the years that a considerable number of people don't like you to be confident. Whe they see it they can't wait to smash you down. That's why it's so important to develop a foundation of inner confidence - let's explore... Stronger, Smarter, Safer
