It was great to see so much goodwill arising from last month’s Meaningful Moments/Linked in posting when I focussed on all the things I have achieved in the last 20 years. Many coaches seem to begin their coaching from a difficult situation such as burn out and I suppose I did too, knowing that it […]
Everybody should have a serious break once in their lifetime
For the first time, we have had 25 nights away on holiday in New Zealand and at age 28 Francesca, our daughter is having 3 months away in Asia. Many students go travelling straight after university (or sometimes prior) before they start their career path. In New Zealand, we came across many young Brits extending […]

Circle of Concern
At the end of last year, one of my supervisees mentioned the ‘Circle of Concern’ which had disappeared from my memory after reading about it, years ago, in Stephen Covey’s book the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

The majority of my thoughts and ideas come from the Employee Ownership Conference, I attended in Liverpool a few weeks ago. One of the case studies focused on the fact that people’s performance still needs […]
How to make your Business work better
In early October I had the opportunity of going back to Liverpool for an Employee Ownership Association (EOA) Conference. This was probably one of the best conferences I have been to in a revitalised City I was able to walk the same streets around which I sold insurance with Royal Insurance decades ago. A truly […]
Putting People and Purpose First
In my previous Meaningful Moments newsletters, I have commented on “where have all the people gone” and “the great resignation”. Owing to the plethora of unfilled jobs available, employers need to think differently. Employers can no longer just offer the right role and the right salary package, they also need to offer flexible hybrid working, […]

How to get results out of Leadership Teams
I received a book called Jump by Chris Henderson 6 years ago and parked it with my extensive library of books I have been decluttering over the New Year as part of this exercise I thought I should give Chris’s book a read and share it with you along with my own practical experience How […]
