I recently posted about the some of the comparisons and similarities between elite athletes, leadership and the mindset of Healthy High Performance. This weekend, Wimbledon served up even more thrilling matches; and it got me thinking more deeply on some of the subjects I touched on last week. At the elite level, everyone can hit the ball. The crucial difference …
This Men’s Health Week, I wanted to take some time to explore Sustainable vs Unsustainable High Performance. One of the patterns I see most often in executive coaching is this:Many successful men know how to achieve results.They’ve built careers, led teams, grown businesses, and delivered under pressure. They’ve developed the discipline, determination, and resilience needed to succeed. But fewer have …
Learning at Work Week celebrates growth and development – but in today’s world, learning can also feel relentless. In our modern “always-on” development culture, we are encouraging employees to consume more learning than ever before, while creating less space to actually process, personalise, retain and apply it. Without giving people the space to reflect and apply information contextually, do we …
On this International Women’s Day, I wanted to highlight one of the quiet pressures modern female leaders face: How do you be both strong and compassionate, without being judged for either? Today’s female leaders are told they need to be decisive, to hold the vision and drive performance. But also… to lean into their softer qualities of being empathetic, inclusive and to maintain …
During the first few weeks of a new year, the narrative “out with the old, and in with the new” and reinvention seems to be inescapable. In our world currently things are changing rapidly and we are hearing about businesses, ways of life, ways of working and many other things being reinvented to either accomodate or be one step ahead …
As some of you know, every New Year’s Day I have a quiet ritual: I clean and repair my shoes and boots. I brush them, polish them, repair what can be repaired — and I let go of the pairs that have reached the end of their useful life. Shoes that once served me well, but no longer fit where …
Last week, I returned from a powerful 5-day retreat with the Team Coaching Studio, and I’m still tingling with everything I experienced and learned. This wasn’t just about tools or techniques. It was about contact – true contact with ourselves, and with each other. I went in knowing it would ask a lot of me. I would need to be …
Many of us craft New Year’s resolutions at the start of every year in the hope that we can focus on changing and improving things for success in the next year. This approach isn’t without merit. However, instead of just focusing on what can be improved, it is important we balance this with reflecting on and celebrating what went well …
Life’s reminders can occur in the strangest places. I am currently in the midst of having my living room floors replaced with wood boards, and I was reflecting on all that is going on and the stages we are going through (physically and emotionally). It made me realise how similar a renovation project is to the process of working on …
We strongly believe that self-awareness is the foundation to mastering your mindset. Getting a grounded understanding of your ‘real’ self unlocks so many benefits. The picture above is from a recent photoshoot which really reminded me of this core belief. But how does this relate to a photography session I hear you ask?! Our Assessment tools enable you to know …
