Yesterday we hosted our first AI Masterclass with our clients. We explored how leaders can move beyond the jargon and hype to plan for the real impact of AI in their organisations.

We covered:
🔹 The biggest AI trends shaping culture, leadership and operations.
🔹 Why AI skills will separate the stand-outs from the left-behinds.
🔹 Practical tools (including our Workplace AI Toolkit) to take the first steps.

Thank you to Aimee Doole, Martin Welsh and Hugh Welsh for joining us to share a powerful case study from showcasing how AI is driving innovation and competitive advantage for them today. As well as utilising a KTP programme and now the development of a Personal Assistant, C3 have also been supporting an AI cohort within Booth Welsh to play, test and innovative for the business with some great results.

Our key takeaways:
💡 AI isn’t about replacement, it’s about reimagining how we work, lead and grow.
💡 Finding your competitive hook is critical to success.
💡 The organisations who experiment, upskill and embed AI now will define their industries in the next 3–5 years.

“AI is powerful, but Culture is Human.”
We’re building a community of businesses ready to embrace this change. Who’s ready to lead the way?

Did you know your personal wellbeing is your competitive edge? We hosted our first Energise Wellbeing for Performance event this morning. Our wellbeing expert Kyle walked us through our own personal roadmap.

We explored mistakes we make as leaders, business impact, community and individual goals.

Danny, Katy, Mercy & Amanda left us with some practical takeaways when thinking about wellbeing at work:

✨ When are we scheduling meetings?
✨ How are we reacting to chaos?
✨ Is the founder / CEO leading the purpose?
✨ How do we break down our work year?
✨ How much info prevents Sunday night dread?
✨ What assumptions are we making?

Thank you to our friends The Social Hub (B Corp™) for collaborating together on this event. As fellow B Corps, community and wellbeing is at the heart of our own b corps and how we do business. We couldn’t think of a better partner! Thanks James & Luciano.

Earlier this year, we applied for the first time to the Great Place To Work UK awards. After our initial entry placed us in the 97th percentile, we were super proud to be invited to the award night in London to find out where we placed in the top 100 UK SMEs.

As a people based consultancy, we help businesses build great workplaces—so it’s only right that we hold ourselves to the same standard. That’s why being recognised in the Great Place to Work UK Top 100 matters.

It’s not just an award; it’s proof that we live our values. It strengthens our credibility, helps attract top talent, and shows clients that we practice what we preach. Most importantly, it reflects the culture we’ve built together—one where people feel valued, engaged, and inspired.

Incredibly last night, with our first ever entry, landing at # 37 in the UK!!🕺🏻💃🏻 🎉
