How to Grow your Brain
My mother instilled in me a lifelong love of learning, growing and expanding my mind and my skill sets. When I look at my bulging bookcases and my husband groans as he picks up yet another box of books when we move, I have queried the wisdom and value of this seemingly never slaked thirst…
Can’t work with them & can’t work without them!
Have you ever had to consider how to manage those staff members in your organisation who are technically brilliant and very good at their job, but who have or are judged to have idiosyncratic or dysfunctional behaviours and attitudes?

Company Culture
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.

How well does your Performance review process perform?
As we are coming quickly to the close of the 2011/2012 financial year (it’s 3/4 gone already), I have already been asked to review a number of Performance assessment review processes and documents for potential & existing clients. Within most companies, this is one of “those” areas that causes painful anticipation, procrastination or avoidance, rolling of eyes or…
Taking your Workplace mobile
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…
Why do some employees avoid taking responsibility?
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…

Social Media Leader Profiling: to do or not to do?

Authenticity – to be or not to be, that is the question

Create a SPACE
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…
Reason or Ritual?
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…
Go on – ‘fess up’
Have you ever been in a space where you are conscious there is something that is not sitting right with you in your head or your heart? You may know what it is, or you may not. One of our basic needs as People is to connect with others. This can be on many levels;…
