Market Refresh: Approaches for Independents – Part 2

Ever found yourself becoming distracted by LinkedIn? Do I post? What do I post? Do I really have to use the platform?

Or in fact have you found yourself considering the opportunity to transfer skills only to be seemingly headed off before you even start by a recruiter landscape of ever-increasing must haves and so feel resigned to the notion of sticking to what your good at with that niggling thought of “What if?” or “If only?”.

If you’d like to better understand the behaviours and factors and indeed actions you can put in place in order to become SMART with LinkedIn and would recognise value in gaining credible insight on the feasibility and methods needing to be employed in order to contemplate and to succeed in transferring skills, then this Webinar is a must for you.

This webinar will focus on two key components:- 1) LinkedIn without the need to become a social marketeer and 2) How to determine the validity of and procure opportunities enabling the transfer of skills against a growing backdrop of increasing ‘must haves’!

The content will be provided and delivered by Simon Hudson, co-founder of Morphosis Partners; a firm specifically focused on enabling senior executives both interim and permanent to realise their professional ambitions.

Key takeaways include:-

  • Cutting through the noise of LinkedIn in order to highlight where your time is best spent on the platform for greatest return on time invested
  • Showing you HOW recruiters utilise LinkedIn and interpret profiles
  • Provision of a credible framework of thinking around transferring skills to enable you to determine where skills may be transferred
  • Provision of insight on how to go about being able to transfer skills in an effective manner

Time efficiently whilst maintaining/enhancing your own professional brand for future professional sustainability and control.

The content will be provided and delivered by Simon Hudson, co-founder of Morphosis Partners; a firm specifically focused on enabling senior executives both interim and permanent to realise their professional ambitions.

The webinar will be delivered on Zoom. If you would like to attend the event, please email Riyah Davies at the IFT who will book you on to the event.

Delivering at Pace: A Benchmarked Analysis of the Traits, Skills and Drivers of Turnaround Leaders

We are pleased to publish our report with Korn Ferry, Delivering at Pace: A Benchmarked Analysis of the Traits, Skills and Drivers of Turnaround Leaders. Korn Ferry are global leaders in executive search and using their psychometric profiling toolkit we outlined the key dimensions of turnaround leadership skills and talent.

We believe this study represents the first close analysis of the competencies, traits and drivers associated with turnaround leaders – the Chief Restructuring Officers, Chairs, Chief Executives and Turnaround Directors who have developed a specialism working at the most challenging edge of leadership for distressed or underperforming businesses.
