Prepare for the worst and hope for the best: your personal brand continuity plan

Paula Kensington

A BCP is a document outlining what processes should be followed in an emergency. All the hard thinking and planning for what action to take when we are faced with a ‘trigger event’ has all been done in ‘peaceful’ times, when we could approach it in a methodical, clear-minded way, rather than in an environment clouded with emotion.

An Act in Three Parts: Igniting Sustainable Platforms

Paula Kensington

I have been consolidating my thinking this year – being forced to stay home tends to sharpen your focus on the important things, I’ve discovered – and have calibrated my internal compass. This has given me a clear direction for the next decade in terms of what I want to deliver to the world.

I guess you could call this my ‘how’ stage of thinking. I’ve always been very good at the ‘what’ – that is, working out what I want to achieve – but it was time I pushed myself into the ‘how’ – that is, how I will go about achieving those goals.

Creativity in a Crisis, Part II: Finding Clarity in the Chaos

Paula Kensington

If you are like me, the feelings of fear and uncertainty about where this COVID-19 pandemic will take us are being at least partly offset by a sense that now is the perfect time to think creatively, and disruptively, about the future and our part in it. I know some people, unfortunately, have found themselves suddenly without work, while others have been forced out of their workplaces and are working from home.

Why is it so hard learning how to unlearn?

Paula Kensington

When you think about it, we spend most of our formative years learning things other people tell us we need to know. Our parents, guardians, teachers, coaches, mentors and many others guide us through early development, school and then, for some, college or university. That’s at least 20 years of academic learning (and, of course, life learning, which requires a whole different conversation), during which we do make some decisions…

The value proposition: what are we really adding...

Paula Kensington

Do you ever get the feeling the word value is used so liberally these days that it has lost its value? We’re constantly being told what ‘value for money’ we’re getting when we make purchases; that a service provided is ‘good value’; or that we need to ‘value add’ in our own workplaces.

Foundations Setting – Clarity

Paula Kensington

To me, Clarity means an uncluttered mind, a clear direction to which you want to head, to understand your value, to embrace your journey. And ultimately Clarity means for me to really step into my power. For others it could mean clean, clear and perhaps clarity relating to a precious stone, a diamond has ratings of how clear they are, called their clarity measure. Imagine if we had a measure of clarity for homo sapiens….what would we call it… success perhaps..?

Making your decisions count

Paula Kensington

Conventional wisdom says we each make 35,000 conscious, sub-conscious and unconscious decisions a day.

These decisions might crop up in a business or professional environment, in our personal life, in our circle of family and friends, or in a community/public context. Some are far more important than others, of course, and sometimes a seemingly minor decision can flow on to major consequences.
