Have you ever been in a meeting and people think they are talking about the same thing, but one or both sides are missing the main point? You probably witnessing an alignment issue.
In this weeks episode Adam catches up with Jon Baxter, an expert on helping people align to drive more effective results. Jon has created the proprietary SDBP® certificate and training programme and has led the Strategic IT Partner Forum, a bi-annual conference that provides thought leadership, CXO-level insight and practical application to delegates in the UK.
He conducts research and regularly writes about Strategic Partnering, especially in the context of Digital Transformation, and he has a top-tier global corporate client list who subscribes to his coaching and workshops.
In this fascinating conversation Adam and Jon discuss the importance of alignment, and Jon provides a practical framework that anyone can apply to help better achieve alignment in a professional setting. If you are looking to change the way the teams in your organisation work together, or developing external, strategic partnerships, this is a must-listen!

What is The Power Skills Project?
The Power Skills Project is a free podcast from Assemble You (https://assembleyou.com).
You may not have heard the term Power Skills before, but you’ve probably heard of soft skills.
We think Power Skills better acknowledges the importance and impact of things like leadership, resilience, productivity, and communication. The transferable superpowers that are some of the most valuable skills you can develop.
We’re all works in progress, and we want to improve ourselves and share our improvements with you - that’s why we chose to call this the Power Skills Project.
Every week, we discuss essential skills like active listening, motivating people, confidence, curiosity or dealing with change. We interview experts and practitioners across a myriad of industries and share their stories and learn from their experiences.
We'd love for you to drop by and listen in!
