With one year of ACOSVO’s Interim Executive Service already ‘in the bag’, we thought it would be a good time to reflect on how the service is going, some of the core learnings, and what we aim to achieve going forward.

You’ve probably heard about our leadership exchange programme, but do you know the idea came from an exchange I took part in with a Serbia leader though the Euclid Network. 

So how could I refuse when around 10 years later I hear about the opportunity to do an exchange with Russian NGO leaders – and could also offer the opportunity out to ACOSVO members. 

“Mentors clearly make (and experience) a life changing difference for individuals.”

Two weeks after ACOSVO’s first cross-sectoral mentoring conference in conjunction with the Law Society of Scotland, Phili Wetton, ACOSVO’s Engagement Manager, and mentoring programme co-ordinator, reflects on the event and the impact mentoring has for individuals, no matter what stage of life they are at.

In this leadership blog Pat reflects on her experience on the second leg of the CSC Leaders programme in Kuala Lumpar.

Info on CSC at http://www.cscleaders.org/about/.  The programme involves one week in London and one in another part of the commonwealth with almost 80 leaders from a wide range of countries and sectors.

See blog on first leg for more details on CQ and core and flex which are concepts which underpin the learning.
