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...]

  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...]

  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 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...]

  “Wouldn’t it be great if failures did seminars.” said Jim Rohn. Not in some macabre way but in a way that we could ALL realise the mistakes that many of us make and we could help one another avoid them earlier.   Rohn goes on to say that when it comes to life and leadership, it’s easy NOT to.   It’s easy not to … [Read more...]

I wrote about the importance of paying attention to direction and I talked more contextually about the idea of direction. In summary I wrote:   Everyone … [Read more...]

I raced down the stairs with seconds to go before the train left the station and slipped theatrically into the carriage as the doors closed in slow motion behind me. Feeling pretty proud, I sat down and immersed myself into reading and waited for my station to arrive. 35 minutes into the trip I overheard the station announcement and leapt to my … [Read more...]

  “You can do more in ten years than you think you can and less in one year than you think you can.” ~ Rick Warren   As I pen these updates I have thoughts that we have less than ninety days to go in this decade. Edging closer and closer each day where we won’t just be celebrating the transition into a new year but also into a … [Read more...]

In March this year I committed to publishing 100 videos in 100 days as part of being present in, and adding value to the market I am working on now.   I accomplished it. I worked hard, and I was diligent to be certain I put something up that I believed in and that would help people in life and leadership. More specifically in helping … [Read more...]
