Handling Change, Assuaging Self-Doubt
Over the past few years, we’ve weathered several cycles that have caused us to reconsider whether we’re happy, whether life is working for us and what we’d like it to look like.

Read MoreShouldering Leadership
All of us have to lead somewhere along the line. Whether it’s to lead ourselves through a situation or a time period, to lead a family or partnership, to lead a team, business or community. Leadership through crisis or change adds even more scrutiny and analysis to the requirements of strong and effective leadership. Two words…
Read MoreYOU Are An Integral Cog – Here’s Why
The word “system” has two suggested definitions. Firstly, it refers to a set of principles or procedures according to which something is done – an organized scheme or method.

Over the past two weeks, we’ve examined The Concept of Fair Exchange, and looked at how your end of that equation works. As a reminder: If you GIVE more than you TAKE, you feel RESENTFUL. If you TAKE more than you GIVE, you feel GUILTY. It’s a great concept and pivotal to the…
Read MoreLeaderful Culture & Clarity
This quote is one I saved many moons ago, which I think should be attributed to Danny Silk, but I’ve been unable to verify that. It talks about how leaders create the culture in their team, and how that culture needs to encourage a safe space for two way communication. Seldom do we pay attention to…

John C Maxwell wrote “The question isn’t whether teams have value. The question is whether we acknowledge that fact and become better team players.” President Lyndon Johnson said, “There are no problems we can’t solve together, and very few we can solve by ourselves.” Isn’t that what it’s all about – becoming better team…
