Influencing others?
Did you know that it is by developing ourselves that we influence others? A goal to aim is to be such an attractive example to others that they want some of what you have got!

Gain focus and clarity for better results!
Across industries we are witnessing more and more leaders who find it difficult to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Stress and burn-out are real dangers that the busy leader has to find a way to prevent. Do you know how to address it?

We can achieve presence.
Have you ever left a nerve-racking challenge and immediately wished for a do over? Maybe after a job interview, a performance, or a difficult conversation? The very moments that require us to be genuine and commanding can instead cause us to feel phony and powerless. Too often we approach our lives’ biggest hurdles with dread, execute them with anxiety, and leave them with regret.
By accessing our personal power, we can achieve “presence,” the state in which we stop worrying about the impression we’re making on others and instead adjust the impression we’ve been making on ourselves! Have a good Sunday. NPx

Can I trust you?
A warm, trustworthy person who is also strong elicits admiration, but only after you’ve established trust does your strength become a gift rather than a threat.

Did you say happiness? Be happy first.
The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude! It’s not necessarily the reality that shapes us but the lens through which our brain views the world that shapes our reality. For there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

Best team: Focusing on what’s best for the organisation!
In the midst of brokenness, people do not feel aligned with the organization; there is no sense of team. To address that endemic problem, a profound change in mindset needs to occur, with the belief that “we’re all in this together.”
In a values-based organization, an attitude of “best team” pervades the atmosphere. People who are committed to becoming their best selves join together in best teams that operate with mutual respect, while also challenging each other to bring out the best in each person. Instead of people pursuing their own self-interest, best teams focus on the greater good of the organisation.
Expectations are created for acceptable behavior: how to treat others, crediting the accomplishments of others, taking responsibility when things go wrong, and giving people specific feedback to help them improve.

Facilitating Leadership!
Historically, “leadership” has largely been considered a top-down function. Leaders were masters of their crafts that doled out their knowledge over time to eager apprentices aspiring to gain wisdom. Enter the “Knowledge Worker.”
Peter Drucker presented a very simple definition:
“Knowledge Workers are people who know more about what they are doing than their boss does.”
Fundamentally, the ever-increasing presence of the Knowledge Worker threatens to render our traditional assumptions about top-down leadership obsolete. It also presents challenges to modern-day leaders that their counterparts in years gone by were not called to address:
“How do you help your team members achieve their goals when you – as a leader – are not an expert on the topic?

Build trust with employees!
You can have all the facts and figures, all the supporting evidence, all the endorsement that you want, but if at the end of the day you don’t have trust, you won’t get anywhere!
The most powerful features of an organisational culture are trust and respect!
Very few people would doubt the importance of trust in building strong relationships, a great work environment, and high performing organisation!
