Giles Miskin, Founder of The Colour Works and The Colour Works Foundation talks about his entrepreneurial journey and how he is using his business as a force for good plus:


 



  • Navigating dramatic career changes - from working in further education to plastic widget production and on to people development and organisational culture change.

  • How he went about setting up a charitable foundation to complement his core business

  • Transforming people’s understanding of themselves and their relationships through a powerful personality profiling tool

  • Making a dramatic difference to young people’s confidence by giving them a deeper understanding of their personal talents and gifts

  • How his business vision, model and team has been evolving to meet rising demand

  • The importance of becoming dispensable as a company founder by building a team to complement your skills and allowing yourself to ‘get out of the way’

  • How he worked with his team to shift the business online in response to Covid

  • Balancing a focus on KPIs and numbers with less tangible shared culture and values

  • The importance of interdependence and diversity, humility and social justice
