The Power of Intentionally Conscious Living
We all have the ability to know what we want from life and what we don’t want. We have the ability to gain clarity on what we are in pursuit of but first, we must dare to ask questions and seek out help.
Living Consciously with Intention
Knowing the impact you want to make in life takes time. It requires clarity and a roadmap. A real strategy that is often much bigger than you. Those that are prepared to pause and be intentionally conscious can now see the fruits of their investment in themselves by being open to what else there is for them. It has become their new beginning and it often means that they will create a shared journey as nothing big can be done alone.
Corporate Reality: Wellness in the Boardroom and How Vulnerability is a Strategy
If you are genuine about being an organisation that cares about its people and their wellbeing, then you are leaders who are prepared to invest in long-term solutions and in engaging the right people to deliver the support and guidance that allows your people to thrive.
Preventing Burnout - A Balancing Act
Burnout tends to happen slowly and we rarely see it creeping up on us. We live and work in a “chase” cycle of always wanting more, thinking we just need to do just that little bit extra and somehow that small additional thing will make all the difference in the world. Unfortunately, the reality is that when we do that little more, we usually end up adding yet another thing to it with no real end in sight.
Paths and Connections, What Travel Means for Me
Travel has shown me how much more I need to learn about myself, about the world, and about acceptance of myself and of others.
Mentor vs Coach
Mentors share their knowledge, skills and/or lived experiences to help others develop and grow. They are readily available and capable of sharing their stories more directive way to help their mentee reach their solutions.
He Said, She Said, They Said… but who is taking action on change?
This is not the “great resignation” period that has happened because of Covid, it has been a point of discussion for over a decade, but nobody has been prepared to pause and listen
“Entitled” they have said. Now they are scrambling to point the finger but still there is no ACTION.
Select your thoughts like you select your clothes everyday
Thoughts drive both action and inaction, it holds the universal power for everything we do but we have subconsciously been led to give priority to what we wear and how we look over; of which neither can or does impact personal decisions or global decisions to progress or save society
Pausing in life to better understand the people who cross your path
Have you consciously taken the time to pause so that you better understand the reason why you have crossed paths with someone? I know we pause to say hello and perhaps even have a conversation
Sales are sales, and Business is Business BUT Sales alone is not Business
Business is simple if you know the basics to get off the ground and grow. It is interesting how people view business and although everyone has the right intentions, there seems to be a vast difference in knowledge on how to set up, manage and exit a business.
Poll - The Number One Reason Why Businesses Don't Succeed
People BUY from PEOPLE. We are the story, we are the product so let’s begin with who we are and why we do what we do.
The Poll demonstrates what we need to make business successful.
4 Good Reasons to Start Your Own Business
As much as I encourage everyone to keep thinking about what else there is for them, starting a business is something that needs to be carefully considered. Let’s talk about 4 good reasons you would start your own business so you can reflect on where you are at.
How to go from a side-hustle to a full-time job
Most people who dream about doing something for themselves are in the same position. However, those who set out to succeed not only start with the right intention to make it succeed but they also seek out people who have done it before for themselves on their own.
Today I am going to share 3 TIPS to be aware of as you start to plan.
Fear of Failure is not what holds people back!
For far too long everyone has done what someone else has done. They catch on to a new buzzword or thought and believe they are moving with the change-makers.
If that is the path you have been following or tempted to follow, take a moment to pause and think about this? Is it achieving the outcome that you want? Have you even considered your desired outcome?
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.
