QUOTE OF THE DAY:

“Pick the battles that you can make some progress with.” Alastair Olby, 2022

In this episode of Hang up your Superhero Cape, I talk to Leadership Development expert and facilitator, Alastair Olby about the work he has been doing with new, young GPs and his insights into the challenges they face, as well as some possible ways forward.

Alastair has been helping people step up into leadership roles and lead change for the past 18 years, with a mission to partner with organisations and individuals whose focus is on improving life for their customers/patients, employees, and the communities they serve.

An NLP trainer, Certified Professional Facilitator and Transformative Coach, Alastair works with a wide range of clients from his base in the Swiss Alps. A ‘specialist generalist,’ Alastair’s work is diverse, spanning organisational change, team and workgroup functioning along with working as a coach in business and in sport, but at its core lies the exploration of where our moment-to-moment experience comes from, and the profound impact that deepening this understanding can have on how we live. He offers transformative team experiences in the Alps away from regular day-to-day busy-ness, and currently runs the Leadership and Quality Improvement elements for several regions’ Fellowship schemes.

Working with newly qualified GPs so early in their careers gives him hope for the future: he finds it a real privilege working with so many bright young minds, and senses the health service will be in excellent hands in the coming years.

Alastair lives in the Swiss canton du Valais, is president of the local ski club, and with his son in a feeder team for the Swiss Alpine Ski Team, is heavily involved in competitive skiing. He’s the team’s go-to cinematographer for their promotional work, and he now blends his passion for cinematography with his cultural change work, documenting stories and demonstrating new ways of working.
