I’ll admit to some trepidation with this post. I’m male. White. Over 50. Privileged beyond what I know and can appropriately articulate. There’s a part of me that thinks I’m entirely unqualified to share these thoughts. I’m married to Megan, a world shaking force of a woman. We have a daughter who recently turned 11, words fail me to describe … [Read more...]
The Role of Men in the Rise of Women
Discover – Develop – Deepen
Leaders have a default position to growth and progress; we want to get things done, accomplish things, make things have, move things forward. Sound like you? The intrinsic motivation to create, improve, and bring to life is deeply imbedded in all the motivated leaders I know. Rarely do I see a lack of motivation in a leader. At times I see a … [Read more...]
Becoming Better
Just before the end of 2020 we finished our Pilot Program for the Leadership Accelerator - we had such a great time with an extraordinary group of leaders. As we bought the 6 session training into land we asked the group to share a bit about what they’d learnt, how they had changed and what they were looking forward to next in their leadership … [Read more...]
Direction & Determination
There are only two things you need to get clear on to start your year really really well. Only two: Be clear about where you want to end up. Have the personal commitment to get there. Direction - A clear and compelling picture of where you want to be. Determination - The personal conviction and commitment to get there. Before we … [Read more...]
An oldie (but a goodie)
I know I know, your socials are FULL of how to make the new year better than last year…. That won’t be hard will it! Also, well done to you for leading well, caring for others and finding a way forward. Like my mate Darren Hill says, “Leaders aren’t finding themselves, leaders are finding a way.” You did that for the most part of last year … [Read more...]
Three big lessons from leading through a pandemic (So Far)
No-one doubts we are in ever changing times right now do they? In recent research by the McCrindle Group they cited that 90% of Australians had been impacted by the current Coronavirus Pandemic. I’d say that’s about right for the entire world right now. We are daily navigating our way through the global … [Read more...]
Why Choose a Big Word?
For some time now my colleague Dr Jason Fox has been on a quest to help people identify, choose, and live by One Word’ in order to make sense and progress of their often ambitious world. You’d do well to indulge in the magician himself via Blog or Podcast. Why choose one word? And perhaps more to the point, how? A one-word … [Read more...]
Finding your people
Community = Acceptance + Connection + Responsibility And finding community, our people, is a key part of life and leadership. As I unpack my order and understanding of the GiANT Peace Index the next part of the puzzle is People. My community. To recap, my order is: Purpose - Knowing what I am … [Read more...]
On Money
I think it was James Clear who tweeted, only people who have money say it’s not about the money. Makes me laugh every time I say that out loud. Of course, it’s about money. But life and leadership is not ALL about money. In business, it’s about value, trust and engagement. In … [Read more...]
The power of purpose
Recently I bumped into David in the supermarket carpark. I was working on the finishing touches of dinner for my kids and he was finishing up a phone call. We hadn’t caught up for nearly three years and in just a few minutes time we covered work, life and family. What I found interesting was his general disdain for the work he was … [Read more...]
Time Intentionality
Last week I introduced the Peace Index from my friends at GiANT Worldwide - I have taken on this experience for scaling leadership in life, in teams and organisations. I’m really enjoying the leverage that is coming from this High Tech/High Touch experience and believe that when added to my own IP there is a way to grow and become a … [Read more...]
“I don’t dance.”
“I don’t dance!” said Andrew in my meeting with him recently. “It’s not really my thing either,” I responded. In my head I thought how you can’t unsee me dancing too, it’s just not fair on others. “No,” said Andrew more emphatically, I don’t do the dance, the surface, show off, tell me what I want to hear stuff … [Read more...]
