Or 100 for that matter! I have no issue with people reading eleventy hundred books in a year. I’ve tried that in the past (and failed if you need to know). I think anyone who takes up the reading habit is on to something. I remember when my kids were young, if they did one …
A good friend of mine left work this week and it is going to be difficult to replace her. She was a great mentor and leader. She displayed behaviours about what a great leader can be. The whole team looked to her as a leader, a friend and someone they could rely on for her …
Time Saving! Game Changing! I’ve had this app on my phone forever. It has got progressively better with each iteration so that now, it can pretty much replace my typing. I’ve never used it in this way before, but it just dawned on me that it was possible and it relieves so much resistance to …

Yes! You’re allowed to! Hello again! Welcome to another week. We had the family over for a Spanish style meal (paella, which my Spanish friend, Gonzalo, will only allow me to call “Rice with Stuff” because it’s not true paella. Tastes good but! 😉) Today’s post about a really cool idea I discovered while doing …
Hey Hey it’s Fridaaaaaay! I hope your week has gone well. This was going to be a short one but it got away from me. I hope you find it useful. Feedback is such a powerful tool … when used for good and not for evil! Join the conversation in the comments and pass on …

The template uses the SCARF Model to help leaders determine where their staff are in relation to the five factors in the model. The template uses a rating scale of 1 through 10.

Happy New Year! 🥳 I hope everyone is well and started the New Year with a bang! I am sipping flat champagne out here on the patio as I write this at 10:13am. A bit early but we thought the bottle was empty and, as there was one glass left, I wasn’t going to waste …
