Harnessing the Power of Alignment: Unleashing the Potential of Productive Teams
Watching the take-off roll of a Boeing 747 as it rumbles its massive structure down the runway has always stopped me in my tracks. Even though I fully understand the principles of flight and have operated them myself over thousands of flying hours, watching the massive beast that is the B747 leave the earth and…
Read MoreNovember Strategy – Breathe & Connect
November, the last month of the year, is upon us. Yes, I know that November’s not really the last month of the year….but my goodness, sometimes it feels like it!!

Read MoreEnding the Year Strong
October is always a great time of the year to reassess and refocus. The time remaining in the current year is short and elusive. Energy is flagging at the exact time we realise we need to push, and the oncoming year is starting to broach the horizon. This year is no different to any other,…

The first month of 2022 is behind us and it feels like it’s going at a rate of knots. The rate of change and replanning of the past two years looks set to pervade this year too, asking us to reinvent our plans or lay them off multiple times over its course. Change is a…

“Shake your head, your eyes are stuck” was the family comment made whenever I got that glazed, over-tired look or fixated on something for too long. It’s what my Mother would describe as “staring into middle distance”. We’ve all experienced it – those moments where you zone out for a bit because your brain needs…
Read MoreMaintaining The Big Picture
(You’ll need your metaphor thinking caps on for this one!) As a pilot, maintaining The Big Picture means simultaneously taking in many different layers of information about your surroundings, evaluating the possible meaning of that information and then using that information to judge future actions. Otherwise known as Situational Awareness, maintaining The Big Picture is…
Read More3 Great Q4 Questions To Ask
Here it is! It’s here! The first day of Q4 – the last quarter of 2018. It sneaks in like any other Monday….and before you know it, it’ll be Friday again. And then November. And then we’ll be talking about that illusive December shutdown that promises to punctuate the end of the year and give…
Read MoreWhen Life Knocks You Off Course – Use THIS To Get Back On Track
You know what they say about “the best laid plans”. John Lennon said “Life is what happens to you whilst you’re making other plans”. No matter how energetic, focused and strategic we are, there is always something that comes along to knock us off track. In aviation, being knocked off track is a given. You…
Read MoreAre You Taking Your Team With You This Year?
We’re coming to the end of the first week of the year. What….? Yup. January 2018 is upon us and threatens to run off like a herd of wild horses dragging us by the ankle unless we can get a hold of the reigns! I don’t know about you, but I’m excited for this year. …
