    Don’t get me wrong in this post. I am a big fan of elearning. I have been since the 90’s. I was actually doing a great deal of elearning towards the end of the 90’s and after but it seemed to trickle away or maybe I was just caught up in the face to face…

    Ok – so last week I proved to myself, at least, that you can’t beat face to face training even though I am a fan of virtual training. I had a great three days taking a group through safety leadership. Building rapport, trust and respect and hopefully some leadership behaviours that will assist them to…

  • ZOOM or FACE to FACE?

    That is the question. It has been interesting to suddenly go from almost 5 days a week delivering face to face programs to all virtual programs using predominantly Zoom. I like Zoom but it still doesn’t feel that same as delivering to a room of active participants. My Zoom audiences have been great. But there…

    Thought it would be a great idea to get my blog back into action. It has been a little random lately has I have been a little distracted by what is going on in the world. In fact, that is a bit of a lie really. I have probably never been more disconnected from the…

    I was going down to the store yesterday to get some supplies for a training activity I am using today. Unfortunately I had to witness the chaos, stupidity and general lack of resilience displayed by my local community. Yes, there were still people out there buying rolls and rolls of toilet paper and when I…

    First, sorry, I haven’t written a post for a while. It has been a busy hectic time. On top of enjoying a very healthy business period I am right in the middle of moving house and location. I wanted to cover in this post the importance of reading and emotional intelligence. I read sixty plus…

    How’s you Sunday going. Hopefully you are safe from fires and having a day off. For many work starts again on Monday after a break for the festive season. It hasn’t been the greatest time off for many. I too spent about 5 days wondering if my house was going to be consumed by fire…

    I haven’t written many posts this year. I apologise. It has been a very busy year which is finally slowing down. It has been pretty close to the most successful 6 months I have had since becoming an independant consultant. Next year looks good as well. I don’t think there is any real answer to…

    I am constantly talking about change and how to bring about change. Difficult? Yes, but we all know that. I have incorporated the video below into some sessions because its funny, engaging and real. Hope you can use it.

    How’s your Sunday going? One of the highlights of the Rugby World Cup was the All Blacks Haka. Unfortunately it didn’t help them win. Here is a Wedding Haka. These guys (and girls) are really fired up. Enjoy!
