‘We are heading into a two-year change transformation phase’ I hear this all the time from clients. What do they really mean? They mean that things are not quite working the way they want or need, and they need to change how things are done – they need to change the culture. On the […]
I’ve been hearing and reading a lot lately about the Millennial Mindset and the need for leaders to stop avoiding and start embracing it. So who are these Millennial’s? Technically, depending on who you ask, they are a generation born post 1980 (ish), they are about to take over our workplaces in big numbers, and […]
There is no doubt that, as leaders, we are amazing people who know best, and by golly, aren’t our people so privileged to be the receivers of our well-intentioned advice! As humans, we don’t like being told what to do, yet we do love giving advice, and all of us have valuable experience and information to share. […]
Big, successful organisations, across the globe, are dropping performance ratings. It’s on the agenda, and it’s on the increase! YES, really! And their experience shows that it is something we should all consider in some form or another. Take a moment now to allow your fight/flight centre to calm down, because it’s pretty hard to […]

Energy is such an important thing. We know that our energy builds and wanes over the course of the day for a number of reasons…we use it up, we have a natural circadian ‘dip’ in energy mid-afternoon (and 3 am just out of interest), emotional arousal drains our energy, or we simply fail to live […]
Funny how we can have the same goals month after month, year after year…and yet never feel like we are getting any closer. Or at least we can feel totally frustrated that we can’t achieve something that seems so simple on the face of it. As leaders (or really busy people), with so much going […]
Last week I attended a ‘Chicks in Business’ lunch event and the guest speaker was Mark Bouris (Wizard Home Loans, The Apprentice – Australia). He told a fascinating story about his first big deal with Kerry Packer and referred to Kerry’s unique and powerful ‘Practical Intelligence’. After a 3-6 month long due diligence period which […]
In our last blog, I mentioned our B.E.T.T.E.R Conversations (TM) model. The acronym stands for: B – Brain-friendly conversations work that with our brain, not against it. E – Emotionally balanced conversations where strong emotions don’t get in the way. T – Toward focus … making sure we focus on the right ‘hardwiring’ in […]
We want leaders who get stuff done! Executing, getting results, creating value, and driving change are the hallmarks of leaders today. Those who achieve dramatic results AND accomplish them in the right way (building people and creating lasting value) – are guided by a clear and authentic philosophy of leadership. This is NOT done by […]
