Valuing your work

Most meaning is measured in mere moments, amid masses of mediocrity. That’s the little alliteration that formed, as I slipped off to sleep yesterday. You see, I’d been reflecting on the overall value of work — or rather how we value the overall work we do. Some might charge by…

Celebrating each other through our living eulogies

We rarely see ourselves in quite the same as the way other people see us. Then we die. Sorry for the shock, but you do know this is inevitable. Folks gather in sombre tones to comfort one another, to share their thoughts and anecdotes, filled with real wisdom and insights…

Mantra Mindset — ‘to be’ not ‘to do’

When we set goals and make a ‘to-do’ list at work, we achieve results with methods like SMART or some other variation of performance measurement. We want to work out how each strategy and activity can efficiently support a larger objective or intent. We are focused and determined to work…

Vulnerability in Leadership

Vulnerability takes courage. Leaders have courage. Not all leaders show their vulnerability. Those of us who have lived a little longer are acutely aware of our shortcomings and human frailty. Maybe as we get older we care less about trying to impress people. …

The fall

I sprinted as fast as possible, given such a short available distance. Then I leapt. As high and as far as my body could muster. I literally ‘threw myself into it.’ Across a crevice. In peril, time stands still. Micro-seconds are like minutes and your thinking is like lightning. Mid-flight…

Trust is not an absolute

Someone I care about said to me this week, “I just don’t know who I can trust.” I asked them, “Do you trust yourself?” That was not meant to be facetious. Rather to make the point that trust is not an absolute thing. …

You may have established that you have a ‘good side’ for selfies and family photos. You never think about the possibility that someone (or something) might…

One skill you must master in Life

Some time ago, I made a brash proclamation that I am not ‘…a Comms Guy.’ You see, at the time I was proud to be working with a team of high-performing media and communications professionals, each of whom really knew their craft. I definitely didn’t want there to be any…

From time to time I am called to speak in public. Even though I have spoken at many hundreds of events, with crowd sizes from groups to many thousands, I still get nervous. So I thought I would share some of the tips that help me personally, in the hope…

Taking time each day to think

Today I found myself serendipitously providing ad-hoc mentoring to three different individuals, each at different stages in life. One is a student considering options for a future career, another somewhat battle-hardened through a failed start-up venture, and yet another a seasoned leader forging a change in direction. Amongst other more…
