Change. It’s that thing we all seem to have a love / hate relationship with. Most of us recognise that things need to change and yet, at the same time, almost everyone has one part of us who is at least a little bit resistant to it.
Something that I’ve discovered though is that the less [...]

No matter who you are or what you do, there are always going to be times when things are tough. Really tough. Right now is one of those times for me personally. I hesitate as to how much I should say though for several reasons. Firstly, I don’t want to give the impression that my [...]

We looked yesterday at the various indicators of whether or not we are operating in an area of strength or weakness. This is only the first step though. We need to move beyond this to reorienting our jobs around our strengths.
If you are like 80% of the population, your work environment will not be giving [...]

How do we know when we’re operating in our element?
What are the signs that we’re working with our natural strengths?
These are two critical questions for us to think about. Perhaps a good starting point though is to actually think about the signs when we’re NOT in our element or flowing with our strengths.
