This week I delivered the final part of the year-long Management & Leadership Programme at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and the Coaching Dynamics course was completed! Our final session together covered Interview Techniques followed by a Certificate Presentation ceremony and a lovely Christmas buffet lunch. We concluded the day with some Personal Goalsetting followed by a day of individual executive coaching sessions to round off the programme.

A huge ‘Well Done!’ and thank you to all participants in all that you have learned, successfully applied and accomplished. Be very proud! This is not the end but the beginning of the next stage of your leadership journey and I’m excited for what is next for you.

Thank you also to the Senior Management Team for your support this year and kind words at the certificate ceremony.

It has been a fascinating year and I am left in awe of the fantastic work, passion and dedication of everyone at the NYMR who strive daily, under often challenging circumstances, to keep the steam and diesel trains running both physically and financially, put on events for the public and protect our national steam train heritage. You do amazing work!
