Back to the Future Focus Plan
As the holiday season approaches and the year draws to a close, it can be tempting to rush forwards and plan for the year ahead – skipping past the moments and milestones that have led us to today. Without pause and reflection, it’s easy to miss those moments of clarity and courage, and to lose track of the things that we intentionally set out to do and have achieved. At Escentia, we understand the importance of taking a look back in order to look forwards – going back to the future.
Taking Classroom Theory to the Outdoors
At Escentia, we believe in enhancing leadership theory and learnings gained in the classroom, with practical application outside in nature to maximise growth. This is why most of our workshops incorporate both classroom and outdoor learning elements, such as team building events, woodland hikes or memorable campfire moments.
Impacting People, Organisations and Planet
Escentia’s raison d’etre is to enable individuals, teams and organisations to intentionally be the best that they can be. But we’re also keen to do our bit for the Planet, which is why we have partnered with One Tree Planted (OTP), a non-profit organisation focused on global reforestation, who plant trees where they are needed most.
The Escentia Leadership Journey
I’m often asked about the origin of our name, Escentia. It’s a Latin word meaning the process of becoming or being. In the context of leadership growth and development, it’s about standing in our power so that we are being confident and strong, and are ready to lead ourselves, our teams and our organisations in ambiguity.
Pfizer Client Testimonial
At Escentia, we consider it a privilege to be asked and trusted to lead important and powerful workshops with incredible leaders, such as the Pfizer IDM Biopharma team meeting last week. We wanted to share the client testimonial we received from this global leadership team.
Escentia Partner with NHS Sutton Health & Care
Escentia kick started the month by facilitating the 2-day "Big Tent Event" with the NHS Sutton Health & Care Trust, lead by their leader Lucy Botting. It was the first time they have come together in over 2.5 years – post the covid pandemic. With 400 delegates represented over two days, it was a truly humbling experience to be a part of such a meeting and to hear the differences made by everyone across 30 very different services (children's and adult NHS services).
