Leadership Ad-Vantage
It was a long and stressful week. I was tired. I wasn’t sleeping and I knew I wasn’t operating at my best. My pre-frontal cortex was really tired and all I could focus on was negative. Something the brain does really well when it is exhausted and under pressure. It was at that moment I […]
It’s not just IQ and EQ that effect work performance, what about MQ?
Ever had a contract or a role that perfectly suited your skill set and passions and you were also given free rein to make it your own as long as you hit the targets, achieved the deliverables and satisfied the goals of the organisation? How fantastic did that feel? I bet you exceeded expectations, received […]
Is Neuroscience Dehumanising?
Recent findings in the area of brain studies show that we can explain certain leadership qualities by ‘exploring’ the brains of successful leaders. This can give us answers to some questions that may help people become more inspirational and develop the qualities every leader wants to possess. However, this comparatively new area of research already […]
Framing Your Journey
The journey of change and growth…I have started walking as spring weather is just divine. I am dying to go cycling, and have pumped up my tyres, but that’s another story of change…and yes fear. When I go walking, I like taking the same paths around my new city of Brisbane. They are familiar to […]
Endorphin Goal Setting!
Everyone has the same concept as the New Year approaches, and that is to set personal and professional resolutions for themselves.

Do You Have a Leadership Game Plan?
If you think about it, being a leader is not much different from being the captain of a sporting team.

Unlike a coach, you’re not sitting on the sidelines, giving directions and demanding results. You’re […]
Applying the AGES Model to Boost Leadership Training Retention
When it comes to designing learning experiences we need to know how to make certain that the learning is understood and retained once the training program has ended. David Rock presented the AGES model as a tool which will help make learning “sticky”. A stands for Attention. It seems logical that we are more likely to […]

Striving to be a good leader is something we all do on a daily basis and, as the pressure mounts to be continually innovative, leaders are looking for alternative ideas.

Are you a responsive leader?
I used to hate it when I’d make a suggestion or recommendation to my team leader and have no reply or acknowledgment at all. Without the feedback, I felt as though my suggestions were worthless (which I knew they weren’t.) I soon learnt not to bother offering ideas for change and improvement at all. Great […]
