Last week I returned from an amazing trip to the US. After spending time with two of my US tech clients, I then spent 4 days in San Diego with my coach and peer/mastermind group.
How to get rid of toxic employees…..
Many clients have completed or are currently going through an annual appraisal process. This is a great time to address poor performance.
Why feedback is the key communication skill……
With many aspects of communication many complete to be views as the most important: effective listening or building trust, for example.
How to build your confidence…..
As leaders grow in high growth organisations very often their confidence is challenged, perhaps not surprisingly as they step outside their comfort zones.
Creating a High Growth Executive Team
While most Managing Directors know that effective leadership requires the help of a solid executive team, creating that team can be a challenge.
What makes a high growth leader?
One question I am frequently asked is “what makes a great leader in a high growth company?” There are many schools of thought this including personality traits, behavioural patterns, the ‘great man” concept, etc .Each has their strengths and weaknesses.
Want to create more time?
Most people I come across complain at one time or another that they haven’t enough time. Here are some ideas to create more time so you can get all your work done, and still have time left over for a personal life:
Setting Goals for 2015
“Goals. There’s no telling what you can do when you get inspired by them. There’s no telling what you can do when you believe in them.

One key skill employees must develop as they move up the leadership ladder is that of personal accountability.
Time to Mastermind
One of the most important actions you can take to create change, transformation and success in your life is to build and participate in a “Mastermind.”
Affirmations
Life is filled with good days and bad. Many of the challenges I have faced and overcome provide me with the strength and reassurance to manage through difficult times.

As companies grow most try to keep their work internal, recruiting new employees to fill specialised positions, such as marketing, rather than outsourcing work.
Time to think like a six year old……
When’s the last time you truly thought like a six year old? In other words, you had thoughts like: “I’m going to be an astronaut one day” or “When I grow up I’m going to be the prime minister.”
Why would I want to work for you?
On my recent trip to America I was working with a successful US company looking at their recruitment challenges.
