In dealing with many SME’s on a day to day, week to week basis, I find common issues pop up continuously. The hot topic exciting discussion these days (hopefully once companies have their more fundamental HR related compliance processes sorted) is; So, how do we get the company culture we want? I set myself a challenge to come…
One of the realities that causes significant grief or anxiety in many companies is how to deal with employees who are technically competent or expert even, but may be a downright cultural misfit.

Within most companies, this is one of “those” areas that causes painful anticipation, procrastination or avoidance, rolling of eyes or…
The traditional model for many businesses is still built around bricks & mortar, however if you look at the number of empty offices around various business parks, the increasing numbers of serviced offices that are used as and when required, plus consider that as younger generations take over businesses and the Gen X’s and older…
One of the workplace conversations I have with business owners and/or managers is about; why is it that (some or many) people within the business don’t want to take responsibility for their actions. They appear to have successful lives on the “outside”, but at work seem to leave their adult decision making skills and ability to think and act…

I had a conversation with my husband Paul this morning about the creation of a clearing around us for others to step into. I mean this metaphorically speaking but especially around having great conversations and getting valuable information from others. We all have that little voice in our heads, the one that speaks loudly, spruiking…
Many people I work with have problems with Time Management and ask me for help. There are many solutions to address this issue, but let’s look at one in this blog, so take 10 minutes from your very busy schedule & step back. BTW, it’s OK. You’ve probably been taught via direct or indirect feedback…
