How to Develop High-Performing Teams

Resilience, while talked about a lot, is not enough to lead us into our new world; we need to build strength from what we have learned and put these lessons into practice. Becoming antifragile is about learning from changes and becoming stronger, as opposed to simply coping with changes.

Developing leaders today to shape a better tomorrow

Leaders today are scrambling to identify ways to balance and support their teams as they navigate their way forward. While some people have thrived with the changes, others have struggled which created news complexities that need to be considered.

Don’t base your life on your 18-year-old safe.

Our values, our needs, and what we want for ourselves change as we go through life. The world as we knew it as an 18-year-old leaving school has shifted. What you are searching for today will inevitably differ from what you were contemplating then.

So many people are great at what they do but yet aren’t fulfilled by what they do. This sinking feeling keeps creeping in and whilst they set new goals, they still question whether they have made the right choices or not.

When it comes to numbers, knowledge is power

So many people find themselves feeling trapped and I find money is often part of the story. So, if that is how you feel, know that you are not alone.

This is not a topic often spoken about because nobody wants to admit that they want more or that they fear that they may lose what they have or fall short. At the end of the day, we all want security – for ourselves and for our family. This is why I want to create that independence for you.

A true mentor listens to understand

For as long as I can remember –we are taught to listen so that we can respond. We are asked to place our hand up and answer a question or share what we believe we have been asked to interpret in the discussion we are involved in.

The Rush to Succeed

There is no rush to succeed, there is no need to compare, there is no need to tell yourself you are not good enough, or smart enough, or anything really, other than you can and you will. When you dig deep, you know what makes you spark when you wake up, crystalising that will enable you to begin your journey to living the life that you deserve.

Managing it all

All too often we think we need to stay on top of everything ourselves, especially when we are in business. The reality is that nobody does that – not even those who are great at time management. Managing it all is not about constantly doing things, even though the outside world may see it that way. I call it setting clear objectives that are achievable but still stretch you.
