The J2E experience
CEO Helen Kay found the J2E process particularly helpful:
“The J2E review process pre and post
project made me pause and think
holistically about our organisation. The
trustees now have a clearer picture of
the areas where we are taking steps
to improve, the importance of robust
eligibility criteria and as a team, we are
having more useful and focused Senior
Leadership meetings.”
Helen continued:
“The initial assessment with Marie was
extremely thought provoking, giving us
a much clearer sense of areas requiring
attention. 12 months on, it’s been
tremendous for everyone involved to see
how far we have travelled, and progress
made as a result of this process. We still
have areas to work on, but for the 昀椀rst
time have an accessible tool to help us
prioritise our efforts. Marie is a supportive,
encouraging and compassionate coach,
with a great understanding of the
challenges facing small not for pro昀椀t
teams.”
