About The Fir & Myrtle (TF&M)
About TF&M: Like Fir and Myrtle trees, it's all about growth and flourishing. Here's a snapshot of what The Fir and Myrtle (TF&M) is all about—including who I am
The Fir and Myrtle (or TF&M) is the name ascribed to my collective long-term projects and what they offer:
(1) EALL&D toolkit (equine assisted leadership learning and development programme; and Quarterly Newsletter for personal and professional development.
(2) RiTR (Art-making programme for leadership, personal and professional development with a focus on creativity and innovation)
(3) IRLR [Ir]responsible Leadership Research; Board Game and App)
(4) Journal of a Professor or JoAP (audio visual research into the life history of leaders, linked to theory and practice)
(5) Tecam (The Executive Coach and Mentor: one to one coaching and mentoring).
Let's face it, not everyone has innate leadership qualities. However, it is a well known fact that they can be developed if learning is in-depth. Learning can be surface/passive or in-depth/intentional. Interestingly, there‘s a connection between in-depth/intentional learning, authentic and responsible leadership, which also requires wisdom. Wisdom and progression in leadership, personal and professional development go hand in hand.
I’m Lola-Peach Martins and a freelance HRM professional specialising in Leadership Learning, and Personal and Professional Development. I have a proven track record/portfolio of over 20 years experience as a Senior Academician/Researcher, Consultant/Collaborator, Coach and Mentor at one of the UK’s renowned Universities for student satisfaction and research. In addition, I‘ve gained over 20 years experience in using creative and immersive techniques in designing and delivering courses in leadership learning and development. such techniques include for e.g. a variety of art-making activities, gaming; and more recently equitation, I operate under a collective brand name TF&M, and aim to support and facilitate your learning journey towards flourishing in your personal and professional leadership role i.e., without you crashing.
I understand that leadership is a major challenge, and life in general can be rough and tough. That is why I offer essential tools to facilitate the continuous unblocking and unlocking of leadership, personal and professional potential. Such potential that enables individuals to embrace profound learning and development opportunities.
For the learning and development pathways, I use/offer various methods and techniques: workshops (online or in-person), one-to-one, audio visuals, hardbacks and paperbacks, boardgames, Apps, social media platforms.
