Organisations
- Boards urged to ditch the old NED stereotype
- Is Scotland’s pool of non-executive directors critically
thin? Or do boards simply make life difficult for themselves by pursuing
a “pale, male and stale” approach to executive appointments?
A fresh approach will become increasingly critical as changing demographics shrink the traditional labour pool. By 2010, it is predicted that only 20% of the UK’s population will be white, male, able-bodied and under 45.
Diversity
- UK Representative
- As a result of previous research in this area and involvement in the international seminar at Viseu, in 2001, Pat Tomlin was asked by the Forestry Commission to represent Britain on this UN sponsored Team of Specialists. The remit of the group is to assess the representation of women in all sectors of the forestry industry within Europe and North America and propose strategies whereby the situation can be improved. The group is also looking at the overall image of the industry and the impact this may have on the recruitment and retention of both women and men. This two year project is likely to culminate in a presentation of findings and proposals to UNECE/FAO and at a subsequent international seminar/conference.
- Professional Women Foresters in the British Forestry Industry
- Wildcat One was commissioned by the Forestry Commission to investigate the recruitment, retention and advancement of women in forestry; the experiences of women working within the industry and the recruitment of women into vocational forestry education. This is the executive summary of the report; if you are interested in the full report please contact Wildcat One.
- Women in Forestry: Strategies to increase women’s participation in the forestry sector in Europe & North America
- Pat Tomlin presented a paper to an international audience, on behalf of the British Forestry Commission, outlining the findings of empirical research undertaken on the subject of "Professional Women Foresters in the British Forestry Industry" to an international audience from across the forestry industries in Europe and America.
Coaching
- Executive Coaching
- Executive or business coaching is rapidly becoming one of the fastest growing industries in the United States and demand is also increasing significantly across the UK. But what exactly is executive coaching and what benefits does it really offer? Is it just the latest in a long line of business fashion accessories?
Leadership
- Transformational Leadership
- Keynote speaker on ‘Transformational Leadership – the leadership of change’ at a one-day ‘Leadership’ conference, for senior managers of Aberdeen City Council.
