With all employees now being held accountable for the rewards upon which their role delivers, why do we not hold our ‘pinnacle role’ at the top of the structure to the same degree and what time-frame do we give our leaders to deliver? What does it take to really deliver value to an organisation and how is that top role really measured on what they achieve?
Read MoreIndeed – living a full life has its own meaning for everyone. For me, living a full life simply means living fully in every moment. That means leaving behind the sense of self-doubt, not allowing those inner voices to dominate that question whether I could or should do something. Pushing through moments of fear and always coming back to my question (my barometer)… ‘what’s the worst thing that will happen by deciding to do this …’
Read MoreI often talk about you being your own CEO. In that case, you should have a plan for where you’re heading and a strategy for getting there. How often you do you assess where you sit in the strategy of ‘you’ and how you are going to own your success? The first thing you should consider (and it’s another principle I often repeat) is what got you here won’t get you there. That is, you can’t rest on your laurels, because things keep changing and so should you.
Read MoreWhen you look out to your career and/or personal horizon, what do you see? Is it a clear vision of where you want to be or do you find it difficult to see past all the obstacles standing between you and the future you are trying to envisage? When I talk to people about planning and strategising for their future, I’m often met with responses such as “everything is holding me back” or “I can’t visualise my future because I can’t see how my goals might be fulfilled”.
Read MoreDo 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.
Read MoreBeing open is about whether you can hit the pause button on your life. Be open to consider whether you are on the right path. Whether what you do each day is serving you well and whether this is the life you want to live…Being open to review and decide if you should forge ahead with gusto. Being open as to whether you should stop and pivot in a different direction or perhaps be open to stop chasing a dream that is no longer important….?
Read MoreTo 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..?
Read MoreConventional 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.
Read MoreSelf-Reflection is a wonderful thing to do when we make the time. Often people say to me that they don’t know anything, that they are not sure how they stand apart from a sea of sameness, a sea of others who all appear to have similar skills… My answer to this question is simple – take a look at what your life has thrown at you so far. Depending on your age there might be 2 or 3 or even 10 big lessons that you have learnt in your lifetime already…
Read MoreHow do you feel about the future, right now? Hmmm…. It’s OK, be honest. But I bet a high percentage of you haven’t really thought about how changes in your industry are already affecting you and your work. The future, however, happens regardless of our industry, background, experience, role, age or culture. Historian Yuval Harari’s opinion is that anyone, any person, falling behind in today’s digital revolution will not be able to catch up. So what does this really mean for you, your work, team, roles and responsibilities? Should you be worried?
