How mums develop the best skills to become successful Entrepreneurs
As a mum, I know you just look at what you do every single day as simply what you need to do so you can get the job done. But, each of these skills that you possess also makes for the best entrepreneur. Yet, we don’t seem to see these skills as transferable skills in business.
How to raise a confident child
We want to show our children there is no fear that comes from failure, only learnings. There is no disappointment only support for trying something new to discover what might be. It is through this interaction that they can find a solution that is yet to be considered let alone discovered.
How to create certainty in your life
Creating certainty is about being clear with what you want, just as much as what you don’t want. It is like the “Black & White” discussion. We all know there is a lot of grey in between so this is where I play. I create my “Black and White” – I call this my boundaries, and then I play in the “grey” in between.
When is the right time to learn leadership skills?
The question “When do you think leadership development needs to form part of your career?” is something I am often asked by aspiring young employees who are looking at their career path, or by middle management employees who are in positions of leadership.
Why I created leadership programs for teenagers
I want to create a path that allows our teenagers to be heard, understood, and to develop a new way of stepping forward in life.
The benefits of allowing your child to fail
If we step in and take control, no matter if it is for a child, a staff, a friend, we take away their opportunity to shine. Worse still we take away their opportunity to learn from what steps they have taken, and then to reflect and try again.
Be what others can see
As adults, we are often encouraged through work to seek out personal development, to get involved, to collaborate. What would it be like for you now if these opportunities were provided to you as a young adolescent? As a teenager when you were going through so much change or even as a school leaver still not certain of what you want to be or where you want to go?
“E” holds the key to your success
Who would have thought that the Letter between “D” and “F” would determine your success in life and in business and yet that very letter do all of that depending on what you make of it!
Delivering Success
High-performing teams impact the value of the business itself, it impacts stock prices, IPO outcomes, and how investors look at it as a business. Success can be seen through its productivity and of course through its culture. How is it that some businesses can get it right and others fall short?
7 tips to start your own business
Deep down we all long to do something for ourselves. We have passion, a vision to be more or to do more. However, we often hold back so, as the world has come to a somewhat state of stagnation, why not take control back into your hands?
Don't just survive – succeed!
Whilst others pursue the path to become more resilient, think about what you want. Do you want to survive and have learnt from it, or do you want to learn and strengthen from it?
Antifragility and second-order consequences
We all know that what tomorrow looks like will be a result of what we have done today. Don’t play the short term game, look at what can happen well beyond our lifecycle and create the path for that.
Creating a psychologically safe workplace
In order to develop high-performing teams, you need your people to trust you. Only in a psychologically safe environment will they be able to start thinking bigger, limitlessly even and to be fully part of the journey.
Why the meaning of purpose is so important
I advise businesses and leaders across industries all around the world and, no matter what I am engaged for, I always start with defining “Purpose” and “Values”. Here I share my approach to enable you to form the framework that will deliver the greatest impact for you and your purpose.
Overcoming self-doubt
Self-Doubt is not about gender, it is not about qualifications or IQ, and it is not about money. It is about your belief system and the tools you use to get you where you want to be.
From Dreams to Impact
How can you transform your dreams into the life you deserve while creating the impact you want to see in the world?
How do you take what you feel in your belly, together with the images and words that float in your head and create the impact you are want to make?
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. Unfortunately, few people have been trained in this space which makes them uncertain of what steps to take.
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.
