Who is Progressfull™ for?
Progressfull™ is for people who are interested in self-care, interested in design, and are intrigued by the concept of interior design for the interior world
We may well be successful on the outside - healthy and fit, our career, home and bank balance looking great - yet on the inside we remain wonky. What Progressfull™ does is helps us deal with the wonkiness, flaws and imperfections - which unless we have had an excellent executive coach or a brilliant therapist - we won’t know how to turn around to make progress
Progressfull™ does this by making the activities and what we go through in typical executive coaching or therapy, accessible to everyone!
Given you spend your entire life in your mind – Progressfull™ helps you make sure it’s a great place to be!
This is for you if you are high potential or already a high performer and want to progress, taking your personal and professional development into your own hands
This is for you if you are intrigued and sometimes frustrated that other switched on friends, high performing peers, the C-suite and CEO have access to material and training from their companies which would help you fulfil your personal and professional potential
This is for you if you are looking for best in class insights, simple practical frameworks and handy transforming tools delivered privately, via step by step guides
This is for you if you are looking to take small, regular actions, privately and independently to enable your own personal and professional progress
Given you spend decades at work - the 3 Progressfull™ Performance Upskills will help you accelerate your performance and futureproof your work-life
Given you spend your entire life in your mind – the 5 Progressfull™ Principles Upskills will help you make sure it’s a great place to be!
Why is Progressfull™ different?
We are different in so many ways and on so many levels, the main ones we have detailed below for you
Progressfull™ is different because we equip and enable you to swap perfection for progress with our unique model of blended learning
We are different because we offer a blended learning model that combines best in class knowledge of human behaviour with the ARTT of progress™ - the purposeful self-reflection practice which turns your learning into commitments and actions. This combination increases the likelihood of you shifting your beliefs, behaviours and mind-sets and creating a life of progress
We are different because we integrate and distil over 50 years of lived personal and global professional experience, with best in class research and learning
We are different because we take complex ideas from the worlds of neuroscience, psychology, physics, mathematics, positive psychology, spiritual practices and philosophy, and weave them into sparky deep insights, simple practical frameworks, and handy transforming tools for you to easily learn and apply in your everyday life - from home to work, to your whole life - step by step, day by day
We are different because we help you "learn and apply" - we break complex ideas and concepts into digestible, bite-size chunks. We then encourage you to take 10 minutes to regularly, purposefully self-reflect, revisiting the material and your reflections and insights - step-by-step, day by day, rinse repeat, rinse repeat
This means you are continually capturing your progress, uncovering new powerful personal insights, deciding on actions to take so you achieve on-going shifts in beliefs, behaviours and mind-sets
We are different because we ensure you achieve progress that is sustainable. With Progressfull™, you take small steps forwards, taken in bite-sized chunks - purposefully, mindfully, progressfully - swapping perfection for progress, becoming a first-rate version of yourself, rather than a second-rate version of someone-else, living a life of progress
These small steps make a big difference – and will help you develop in ways you never thought possible!
Why don't Progressfull™ include imagery of people?
This is all about you – not us, not anybody else, and certainly not about glossy idealised images of so-called perfect people designed to create an impression, an illusion that perfection is attainable!
We are fiercely passionate about enabling you to unlock your personal progress and professional potential, rather than encourage you to be side-swiped by glossy idealised aspirational photos of other people who you may, or may not, relate to
This means we have deliberately and consciously chosen not to include photography of people's faces in our materials – including ours
In this visually heightened world we know that images of people are routinely and professionally posed, filtered and photoshopped. Done to shape and construct an image of the person. Despite consciously knowing these images are edited and fake, our unconscious mind combines this limited 'snapshot' with clever tricks and educated guessing to fill in the blanks about the person's character, personality and life. Before we know it, our mind has subliminally crafted a picture which appears clear and real, but is in fact false and fake
Progressfull™ is not about false and fake, it is not about creating the illusion of perfection
Progressfull™ is about helping you to focus on you, not focussing on us, and not focussing on anyone else. If we use photos we are missing out on focussing on you – your personal progress and your professional potential
Common frustrations...
Spend a fortune on self-help and business books, life coaches and courses, learn interesting stuff yet don’t often manage to actually create personal progress?
Alas, this is often the case, we can be really motivated and determined to learn, spend fortunes on great books and courses, spend hours watching TED talks and listening to podcasts, yet if we don’t have access to the best quality material we risk wasting our time learning the same thing again and again, without having the tools to turn the learning into commitments and actions. Without the actions, we risk filling our minds with new information, or the same information reframed in a different way, yet we don’t actually change, we don’t actually release our potential and make progress
At Progressfull™ we give you a unique model of blended learning, which combines video, purposeful self-reflection activities and 121 Mentor support
These activities are designed and proven to help you develop your unique road map for being more progressfull
Purposeful self-reflection combines the benefits of journaling and coaching and is a proven method of accessing valuable personal insights, independently of another individual
Our unique framework, the ARTT of progress™ is a proven method of accessing valuable personal insights and commitments to action
We then add a Mentor 121 into the mix to support you and ensure you crystalise your commitments and actions. They will steer, guide and advise you so you can truly progress with each Upskill you complete
Fed up of listening to podcasts, reading books and watching Ted talks, yet not remembering a thing?
In the corporate world our clients are CEOs and top executives who are under extreme pressure to perform, yet do not have much time - so we are used to distilling and condensing knowledge and learning into very efficient chunks – we call these Progresslifts (our name for course/masterclass chapters)
In addition, all of the practical exercises included have been set as a 10-minute activity as we encourage 10 minutes of focussed time to start the exercise
What we have found is that people really enjoy revisiting each exercise as they add more insight and gain more learning with every repetition
Frustrated with courses which simply don’t help in the real world?
Practical is key here at Progressfull™. We do not believe in theoretical concepts that have no real-life practical bearing
All our Upskills (our name for a course/masterclass) have sparky deep insights, simple practical frameworks, and handy transforming tools for you to easily learn and apply in your everyday life
The ARTT of progress™ is all about practical day to day progress helping you apply the insights, frameworks, and tools in your everyday life - from home to work, to your whole life - step by step, day by day
Tired of courses which go on for ever?
So are we!
We have deliberately distilled volumes of research from many disciplines to create impactful content that gives you what you need to change your beliefs, behaviours and mind-sets in the shortest time possible. The Upskills (our name for a course/masterclass) achieve this in a purposeful, practical, and playful way
You can go through the Upskills (our name for a course/masterclass) as fast or as slow as you want, the choice is yours
You will have access to pre-recorded videos for each Upskill (our name for a course/masterclass), which are divided up into bite-sized chunks called Progresslifts (our name for masterclass chapters) - so you can choose to take small steps and cover 1 Progresslift per day or if you would rather you can cover all of the Upskill in one day and then revisit the content and your notes in 10 minute chunks as part of the purposeful self-reflection practice we will teach you/introduce you to
Some people find they enjoy listening to the whole Upskill first – a bit like listening to a podcast - so they gain a flavour of the whole Upskill before they take the deeper dive into each Progresslift (our name for a masterclass chapter). This is another choice open to you
Why do all the people at the top of businesses get access to all the best coaches and training?
In today’s climate, the nature of leadership is extremely challenging – so the best organisations often invest in extremely experienced and talented executive coaches to support and inspire their senior leaders
At Progressfull™, we believe everyone will benefit from accessing the quality of insight and tools which enables these leaders to perform at the highest level. That is why we are sharing the Progressfull™ content with you
Do you find that often companies who offer courses unnecessarily complicate things?
So do we!
Making things simple and easy to apply is at our core here at Progressfull™
We take complex ideas from the worlds of neuroscience, psychology, physics, mathematics, positive psychology, spiritual perspectives and philosophy, and weave them into sparky deep insights, simple practical frameworks and handy transforming tools for you to easily learn and apply in your everyday life - from home to work, to your whole life - step by step, day by day
You can learn and apply them because we break complex ideas and concepts into digestible, bite-size chunks. We then encourage you to take 10 minutes to regularly, purposefully self-reflect, revisiting the material and your reflections and insights - step-by-step, day by day, rinse repeat, rinse repeat
We have integrated, distilled and consolidated over 50 years of lived personal and global professional experience with best in class research and learning and made our Upskills clean, clear, crisp - no fuss, no unnecessary complications, just simple, practical and playful
Don’t have much time or attention? Prefer doing things in bite-sized chunks?
So do we!
You will have access to pre-recorded videos for each Upskill (our name for a course/masterclass), which are divided up into bite sized chunks called Progresslifts (our name for a masterclass chapters) - so you can choose to take small steps and cover 1 Progresslift per day or if you would rather you can cover all of the Upskill in one day
You can then revisit the content and your notes in 10 minute chunks as part of the purposeful self-reflection practice we will teach you/introduce you to
Never complete courses so waste your money and time - will this be the same?
You’re not on your own – that’s why we have created a different approach from the normal course set up. Do read our response to the FAQ "why is this different" above for more explanation
There are three extra things we would like you to keep front of mind
First, we have broken each Upskill (our name for a course/masterclass) down into bite-size chunks so even if you don’t find you complete the Upskill straight away you will find you take something away after completing just one Progresslift (our name for a masterclass chapter). We are confident that the personal insights and mind-set shifts you will gain from just one Progressllift will motivate and encourage you to revisit and continue
Second, one of the distinguishing pieces in our different approach is that once you have completed the Upskill (our name for a course/masterclass), you will have a personal 121 with a Progressfull™ Mentor. We find this helps keep people motivated and inspired to complete their ARTT of progress™ and truly progress in their chosen focus areas
Three, another way we encourage people to complete the Upskills is by reciprocity. Our philosophy is about reciprocity - the value of give and take, of the mutual benefit of win-win – so for every Upskill you complete we make a commitment to you that we will gift 10% of our profit to one of our selected partner charities. This gives you the added benefit of knowing that you are helping others whilst you are helping yourselves. All of our partner charities support people to become self-empowered
We would love you to choose which of the selected partner charities you would like the gift to go to, on completion of each of your Upskills

We would love you to choose which of the selected partner charities you would like the gift to go to, on completion of each of your Upskills
Why is this good value?
To access this knowledge and framework in the corporate world Jo’s fee is £3500 per Coaching session. Each Upskill (our name for course/masterclass) would entail 3 or more Coaching sessions
We want to make this content available to as many people as possible, hence we have created online Upskills focussed on different principles for a progressfull life. Each Upskill works out at less than 30% of the cost it would be to access the knowledge and framework in the corporate world
We have thought about the combinations of Upskills that people will find most helpful and have bundled them together in a way that includes a reduction in price. In essence the more Upskills you complete the less you pay
We have also included options for Mentor sessions and Coaching sessions for those people who would value the 121 personal support a Progressfull™ Mentor and Progressfull™ Coach can provide
You can see the menu of our Progressfull™ product offerings in: our shop together with the associated costs
Do I get to work individually with a Coach?
You have the opportunity to work with a Progressfull™ Mentor throughout each Upskill, (our name for a course/masterclass). One of the distinguishing pieces in our different approach are these FREE Mentor 121 calls. We find this helps keep people motivated and inspired to complete their ARTT of progress™ and truly progress in their chosen focus areas
You may decide you want to work individually with a Progressfull™ Coach as this will help you focus on areas in more depth. We have three ways that you can do this
You can opt for a one-off 1-hour Coaching session where you can focus in on a specific area where you would like additional insight and support
The second coaching option is to have a more in-depth coaching of 4 x 1-hour Coaching sessions. People find this helpful when they want to explore a number of the concepts in more depth from the Upskills and relate it to a real-life challenge which they are experiencing
A 3rd option is 8 x 1-hour Coaching sessions. People find these sessions really useful when they want to have a Progressfull™ Coach to guide them through their journey with Progressfull™, gain transforming insights and support for real life challenges to gain a step change in their approach and mind-set

What is the ARTT of progress™
Our transformational framework, the ARTT of progress™, is a purposeful self-reflection process and practice which turns your learning into commitments and actions. Enabling you to take your development into your own hands - unlocking your personal potential and professional progress
What's more this purposeful self-reflection only takes 10 minutes
The ARTT of Progress™ is the methodology or the approach that helps you to identify your insights (Assess), Relate them to your circumstances, personal motivation and personal benefits, then turn them into concrete commitments and practical actions you will “put into practice” (Take Action)
The extra T in ARTT is Take Stock. This is part of the ARTT of Progress and key in the Progressfull™ approach. Take Stock happens in a number of ways: during the Upskill; in your Upskill Journal; with a Mentor after completion of the Upskill; in a Facilitated Peer Insights session where fellow learners debrief their progress; in daily, weekly, and monthly reflections noted in your Progressfull™ Journal
Take 10 minutes to examine your life and become a first-rate you through
The ARTT of progress™
What is purposeful self-reflection?
Purposeful self-reflection is a process and practice we have created at Progressfull™
Purposeful self-reflection combines the benefits of journaling and coaching and is a proven method of accessing valuable personal insights, independently of another individual
Which Upskill is for me?
The Upskills (our word for a masterclass/course) have been designed to be totally flexible so you can choose to complete any Upskill, in any order. Each Upskill stands on its own as a development opportunity
Nonetheless, if you would appreciate our guidance, then we recommend completing Being Progressfull™ first as this is an introduction to our Progressfull™ Principles and a great way to gain an overview of the 5 leading-edge Progressfull™ Principles as well as an understanding of our ground breaking approach called the ARTT of progress™. We give you Being Progressfull™ FREE when you buy any Upskill
After completing Being Progressfull™ it is worth completing the Progressfull™ Principles in the order we display them visually:
Showing Up, Choosing Confidence, Being Playful, Owning Congruence, Welcoming Feedback
If your priority is more personal development then focus on the 5 Progressfull™ Principle Upskills first
If your priority is more professional development then start with Progressfull™ Performance Upskills first
You can access more information about each Upskill here: our shop
Why 5 Progressfull™ Principles?
Progressfull is for people who are interested in self-care, interested in design, and are intrigued by the concept of interior design for the interior world
We may well be successful on the outside - healthy and fit, our career, home and bank balance looking great - yet on the inside we remain wonky
What Progressfull does is helps us deal with the wonkiness, flaws and imperfections - which unless we have had an excellent executive coach or a brilliant therapist - we won’t know how to turn around to make progress. Progressfull does this by making the activities and what we go through in typical executive coaching or therapy, accessible to everyone!
The 5 Progressfull™ Principles are curated self-care - internal design for our internal world!
The 5 Progressfull™ Principles not only turn around our wonkiness, imperfections and flaws but also enable us to live life on our own terms - holding our ground, facing any challenge that comes our way - head on; supporting, affirming and encouraging ourselves to be the best version of ourselves; enjoying life, and its adventures with a childlike curiosity, determination and wonder at what is possible, together with a belief in our ability to thrive; living a life of harmony - between our internal and external worlds, being in the driving seat of our own life; engaging with diverse perspectives and feedback conversations with confidence and curiosity - all so we can release our true potential
We reference the 5 Progressfull™ Principles as pp like on a letter - derived from the Latin 'procurare' meaning ‘to take care of'. The 5 Progressfull™ Principles - Showing Up, Choosing Confidence, Being Playful, Owning Congruence and Welcoming Feedback - are designed to help you take care of yourself and become more and more progressfull
Understanding where we are heading, understanding how we can support ourselves to progress, and understanding how we can hold ourselves back from progress - are the keys that unlock a life full of progress and are the keys to a well-designed inner world
You can experience the 5 Progressfull™ Principles practical step by step guides as either pre-recorded videos – like podcasts with pictures - or live sessions. We share insights, principles and practices to enlighten, inform and inspire you – at home, at work, in your whole life
This is what we mean by - interior design for your interior world - so you feel energised, motivated and on track – no matter where you are, no matter what life throws at you!
Given you spend your entire life in your mind – the 5 Progressfull™ Principles help you make sure it’s a great place to be!
Discover the 5 Progressfull™ Principles and unlock your personal progress and professional potential - at work, at home, in your whole life
Why 3 Progressfull™ Performance?
How confident are you that you are futureproofing your work-life so you can thrive, excel and win tomorrow in the world of work?
Do you have the practical tools and insights to mentally thrive? Do you maximise your every interaction - at every level - from the new starter to the CEO? Do you play the game of success and play to win - winning tomorrow in the right way, in the world of work?
Trusted by over 14,000 senior execs, high performance and high potentials, we don’t just know what good looks like, we know what great looks like
We observe that despite their fierce ambition and external success, very few people have the skills required to futureproof their work-life and win tomorrow in the world of work
According to the World Economic Forum, 8 out of the 10 skills imperative to success in the 21st century world of work are in the often challenging area of so-called ‘soft skills’
If we understand this truth why would we not upgrade and upskill all of these soft skills, so we can excel and thrive, winning tomorrow in the world of work?
The 3 Progressfull™ Performance Upskills (our name for a course/masterclass) gives us the ability to upgrade and upskill so we can accelerate our performance, futureproof our work-life and fulfil our professional potential - building our ability to learn on the fly, master ambiguity, bouncing back from adversity, reinvigorating, rebalancing and reinventing; excelling and inspiring in every interaction, at every level - from the new starter to the CEO; developing our career and what it takes to win today and tomorrow in the word of work - building the mind-sets of winning well, standing out, connecting courageously and futureproofing me - all so we can unlock our professional potential
Given you spend decades at work - the 3 Progressfull™ Performance will help you accelerate your performance and futureproof your work-life
We give you best-in-class material typically available to very few elite performers at the top of organisations
Pre-filmed videos - like podcasts with pictures - or live sessions if you prefer, give you sparky deep insights, simple practical frameworks and handy transforming tools to help you futureproof your work-life and unlock your professional potential
We've picked the best insights, frameworks and tools from many fields including behavioural psychology, neuroscience and philosophy, to create the models and content in 3 Progressfull™ Performance Upskills - so you can grow your influence, your reputation, and your future career - increasing your impact in your organisation and beyond
Why Showing Up?
Having had the privilege of coaching over 1000 global senior executives, the pre-eminent challenge and consistent theme that emerges is how to stay strong when adversity strikes
Similarly, in facilitating over 13,000 global high performers and high potentials, the pre-eminent fear that emerges is how to stand up and be counted in front of others - whether that is giving a presentation to the CEO, standing up and speaking in front of peers or asserting your opinion in a meeting when you feel “less than” and somehow “not good enough”
All of these 14,000 people have one thing in common – they are more than their work. Their life and our life is more than work life, home life, social life it is our whole life that is important. Showing Up covers our whole life
There is a strong need for people to be equipped and empowered with the mind-sets and tools to effectively Show Up. Showing Up to deal with life’s challenges, to embrace and even enjoy the difficulties we all face and relish the ambiguity of life
We've picked the best insights, frameworks and tools from behavioural psychology neuroscience and philosophy to create the models and content in Showing Up, so you can show up, face the challenge, enjoy the difficulty and relish the ambiguity of life
Why Choosing Confidence?
Over 25 years working with 14,000 plus senior execs, high performers, and high potentials has provided the opportunity to observe at close quarters how people operate and how they think about themselves and their work. It may surprise you to know that the vast majority of people are less confident than they could be about their value, their worth and what they offer. They are not as comfortable in themselves as they could be, they are not as comfortable in their own skin as they could be – and we are talking about people who are deemed as successful in the world’s eyes
There is a consistent and overwhelming absence of self-assurance, poise, and confidence in their own abilities. More often people have a sense of imposter syndrome in spite of their success. This is the backdrop and the context for creating the Upskill Choosing Confidence
Choosing Confidence has been designed to include the psychology, the models, the tools, the guidance, and the tips shared with senior executives in the corporate world to build their bench-strength in confidence. You will find this Upskill helps you to regain the confidence which has been lost along the way so you can grow into your own skin and be the best version of yourself
Why Owning Congruence?
Owning Congruence is one of the biggest insights and it is truly a gamechanger
This Upskill starts with a fundamental truth. True and real success is about alignment and accord between our inner and outer worlds. It doesn't matter how much success we have externally, if it is not aligned with who we really are and who we really want to be, it's all ‘Blowin’in the wind’ as Bob Dylan sang
Research from psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and spirituality have been mined and sifted to create the diamonds that comprise the content in Owning Congruence
What we are sharing is the most useful and most practical tips and tools for you to live a life of being your truest self, purposeful rather purposeless, mindful rather than mindless - reconnecting with your true self
Why Being Playful?
“If two people tell you you’re drunk, lie down”
Positive feedback for Jo over 30 years has consistently highlighted two seemingly contradictory things. The vast majority of the 14,000 senior execs, high performers, and high potential business people, have been impressed by Jo’s ability to be fun, playful and light-hearted as well as Jo's strength and determination to excel. One Vice President of EMEA for a global technology firm summed it up this way, “Jo I’ve been trying to decipher what makes you so excellent at what you do and so different, it’s in large part because you haven’t lost what most of us have. You have kept your childlike approach. Everything seems so light yet profound at the same time. You are fun yet deliberate, you are serious and playful, you have exceptional standards yet don’t take yourself seriously, you keep your spirits up even in the most testing of times. Whatever you do don’t lose this - bottle it and sell it!”
This fun, playful light-heartedness combined with a strength and determination to excel is rarely seen. Observing over 14,000 senior executives, high performers, and high potential businesspeople very few have this similar approach. Successful adults it seems tend to be weighed down by the responsibilities of work and life, they have forgotten the joy, the delight, the wonder, and awe that we had as children
This fun, playful light-heartedness combined with a strength and determination to excel can be learned. We decided to share the research and learning that Jo applies and have called it Being Playful. We will share the most useful and most practical tips and tools for you to relearn how to Be Playful. Being Playful is about having a childlike curiosity, a childlike determination, a childlike wonder at what is possible, a childlike belief in your ability to thrive, a childlike openness to adventure and a childlike ability to enjoy the ride
Why Welcoming Feedback?
How bizarre it is, that as human beings in one walk of life – the sports arena – we are passionate about feedback, in fact, we know that without the very best feedback from the very best sports coaches we cannot attain excellence in any of our fields
At Progressfull™ we are really curious about the disconnection between how in the sporting arena feedback is welcomed with voracity, and an almost visceral passion, yet in every other walk of life, human beings seem to hold back and recoil from any assessment, observation and critique of their approach
Isn’t it fascinating that human beings can be really analytical and detailed when talking about sport, their favourite team, their favourite sportsperson and yet the same individual is hesitant, even reluctant to apply a similar approach to other parts of their life that they have more influence over. They avoid giving feedback to their children, their colleagues, peers, direct reports, even their spouse or partner and are even worse at seeking feedback about their approach from others
To counter this disconnect we have condensed and distilled the most useful and most practical tips and tools for you to master this topic of feedback. We want you to be able to usher in, embrace and roll out the red carpet for different perspectives, assessments, evaluations on you and your approach in all the walks of life you inhabit. Doing so will enable you to know what you can do to fulfil your potential and make progress in your everyday life - at home, at work in your whole life

Others choose 10 minutes each day and it takes them just over a month, as most people take 6 - 10 hours to cover the content in each Upskill
The Pre-recorded Upskills are simple to follow and you can return to them whenever you need, as you’ll have on-going access after signing up
At the end of each Upskill you have a 121 Mentor session with a Progressfull™ Mentor to help crystallise your next steps and on-going development
Will there be too many exercises?
No there are just the right amount for you to progress
The Progressfull™ exercises and activities are designed and proven to help you develop your unique road map for being more progressfull
We encourage you to take each exercise step by step, bite by bite, spending a maximum of 10 minutes on each, this way you can just start, see how far you get and then decide what to do next - choosing to revisit and repeat the activities and exercises to build your skills through repetition – rinse and repeat

What is Progressfull™'s response to People and Planet?
Our purpose is to change lives by unlocking personal progress & professional potential. We believe in swapping perfection for progress to become more progressfull – one step & one bite at a time – at work, at home, & in our whole life. This belief extends to how we unlock progress for our planet
Making progress for our Planet
As individuals & business owners we believe we have an inherent responsibility to preserve & protect our planet. As such we want to be transparent about the small steps we are taking to do our bit for our planet - however small - one step & one bite at a time
Our suppliers range from a heritage printers in the UK, a sustainable packaging firm in Europe, to independent creatives such as designers & illustrators. When we set up Progressfull™ we decided to only partner with ethical suppliers, who are simultaneously passionate about delivering excellence & protecting the environment
We decided to only use the best sustainable materials for our beautiful, stylish Journals & design them to last. We decided to always choose sustainable 100% recyclable packaging materials. Both these decisions are key in our commitment to making progress for our planet
We have chosen to offset emissions for both our personal & professional lives & ensure that we are climate positive. We offset our entire carbon footprint, including emissions from our homes, personal travel, holidays, food, hobbies & more. The small step will have an impact this year of planting over 1,000 trees & a reduction of 21.6 tonnes of CO2 - see our forest and more here
Making progress for People
As individuals & business owners we believe we have an inherent responsibility to preserve & protect people. As such we want to be transparent about the small steps we are taking to do our bit for people - however small - one step & one bite at a time
When we set up Progressfull™, it was important to us that we give a larger proportion of our business profit to charitable causes than most businesses give (on average businesses which give to charity donate 1% of their profit). Given the values we want to live as Progressfull™, making progress for us would mean Progressfull™ committing to give 10% of our profit to charitable causes
We decided that the charities would be ones which empower people. We also decided that we would ask our clients to choose which charity we donate to so their voice is paramount. We named this process Grow & Give. Both these decisions are key in our commitment to making progress for people
Because of the situation in Ukraine today we have decided to give 100% of our charitable contribution this year to support Ukraine
In summary, we are committed to acting ethically & with integrity - in all our business dealings & all our relationships. This includes operating with excellence & implementing effective systems & controls for our business. We will use our methodology the ARTT™ of progress (Assess, Relate, Take action & Take stock) to continuously Assess our progress, Relate how well we are doing by listening to our clients & thought leaders on people & planet, Take new actions for people & planet improvements & lastly, Take stock to accurately gauge our progress - step by step
