Leadership

Character, competence,
compassion, service, accountability.

We ask a great deal of the leaders we train. These are the people who answer for the Foundation, and the same standard applies to them.

Contact

Shahid Siddique Gill is a leadership trainer and keynote speaker who has dedicated his life's work to producing a professional and efficient human resource, through workshops on leadership and life skills. He delivers that work through training built on needs analysis, life-coaching sessions, inspirational speaking, motivational seminars and social media, principally in educational institutions and non-profit organisations.

As a trainer he brings together current research, conventional wisdom, philosophy and psychology with audio-visual material, exercises and group activities, all shaped around a training needs analysis rather than a fixed curriculum. He teaches through storytelling. Audiences describe the result as direct and impactful. His stated aim is to increase a person's awareness of their own strengths.

That conviction — that people already carry more capability than they have been told — runs through the Foundation's work as much as his own. It is why our programmes end with participants equipping others rather than with a certificate.

The standard

What we ask
of our own leaders.

We teach this in our leadership programmes. It would be worth nothing if it did not bind the people who run the Foundation.

  • Act honestly.
  • Listen.
  • Accept correction.
  • Protect vulnerable people.
  • Use authority responsibly.
  • Develop others.
  • Share responsibility.
  • Avoid personal glorification.
  • Remain accountable.
How we hold ourselves to it
Back to About

TODO before launch — add the board of trustees. A leadership page with one person on it reads as a one-man organisation, and trustees are the first thing an institutional funder looks for. Names need their consent. Also consider routing enquiries through a Foundation address rather than a personal mailbox.
