Recently, I have been engaged with a few organizations and teams who are struggling to build good working environments. We have all heard the adage ‘teamwork makes the dream work’ and this most certainly is true. Most of us have been members of teams and organizations that were, in a word, dysfunctional. No one was happy. Everyone was competing for […]

During this month of Thanksgiving (in the United States), I thought it only fitting to ask the poignant question: For what am I grateful? I wrote a similar post several years ago.

Hmmm….we’ve all been tested and stretched, […]
Too many of us are working really hard….running on that proverbial hamster wheel….trying to make a big difference, create something substantive, or just trying to make a huge amount of money. Equally, many are looking for that magic ‘something’ to catapult their business, their careers, and even their lives into the orbit they want. The […]
