The leadership Lens: Change the frame to change the game
In a study of over 50,000 executives, the flaws most commonly tripping up leaders at risk of derailment were related to failures in establishing interpersonal relationships. The ability to read a room, decode underlying dynamics and navigate difficult personalities can make or break a career, a relationship or a business and ultimately impact success.

Conform?!? How to fit in to stand out
Within the push for personal branding, and the innate need for human beings to stand out from the crowd, lurks an inconvenient truth... people are drawn to people who are like them; not those who stand out as being different. When meeting new customers, forming new teams and working with diverse people the first thing we respond to are the differences we encounter and this can get us off on the wrong foot....
Credible Communication: Is your value visible?
Being a powerhouse of knowledge and experience is not enough if your language patterns and non-verbal cues do not support this truth. Professional credibility and value are all too easily lost in translation.
Too often we unconsciously sabotage our success by using language and behaviour that belies our true talents and abilities. But there is hope to be found within a simple, yet powerful formula for...

We are missing the mark when it comes to solving the issue of gender equity at work. Join us as we shift the conversation from awareness to action and take a practical look at the invisible forces that shape women in leadership and what each of us...
Change matters: Developing change leaders
We are facing a world of unprecedented change and complexity. Navigating the current pace of change can take its toll on our staff. New systems, new products, changing workforces, can all combine to create emotional and operational chaos.
Without understanding what causes our personal response to change, we are at the mercy of resistance to and distrust of new initiatives. Understanding, exploring and more importantly normalizing people's response to change is a critical step in...
The coach approach - Coaching for performance
In today's competitive business environment, being great at the technical aspects of a job is no longer enough. It gets players on the field, but on its own, it won't win the game of work. More than ever before, people are required to work together across teams, departments and sometimes even across organisations. They are expected to work alongside others with different personalities and opinions, with different values and perspectives and still generate great business...
Developing leaders: Decoding derailers to release performance
Human behaviour is complex. Developing leadership in others takes more than knowing the theory and authorising the training budget. Bringing out the best in your people can be challenging and time-consuming, particularly when it's hard to understand the behaviours you're faced with. Team members sometimes act in ways that don't serve them. Why? And more importantly, what can you do about it to get them back on track?
The ability to close the gap between someone's potential and their...
