People come first in business, and in life. That was the message shared at the flagship Doing It Differently conference – organised by Stonebow Media on behalf of the University of Lincoln for Lincolnshire Business Week.
Speakers at the event included keynote speaker and Britain’s first female fast jet pilot Dr Jo Salter MBE; the founder of Teams Come First, Tim Sayers; and Dr Kai Adegbembo, an associate lecturer, retired police inspector and current vice chairman of the TEC Partnership.Photo: Steve Smailes for The Lincolnite
One common theme that emerged was the importance of building capacity. Drawing from personal experiences, the panelists highlighted the significance of training one’s subconscious mind to handle high-pressure situations. While the journey toward embracing change can be challenging, the panelists stressed the importance of discomfort in personal and professional growth.
It ties in with another key subject of the day’s talks – embracing fear and becoming comfortable in uncomfortable scenarios.
