    Photo by Thomas Serer on Unsplash I have been doing some writing about business goals, team goals and KPI’s this week. Exciting stuff. Dan Pink, love his books, has just sent out a short video on this which uses index cards. I am going to do this in future. I usually just ask a team the question –…

    Photo by Heidi Sandstrom. on Unsplash I have been doing a great deal of training lately around people performance, conflict and dealing with difficult issues and 90% of the time it boils down to being assertive enough to deal with the problem. Not easy to do. Not something I found easy either but it was required and I…

    Photo by Austin Schmid on Unsplash How is your Sunday going? I’m not sure about your week but mine was a very busy one with some lows and some great highs. At times you can get a little down in training when things are not working but you have to stay on top of things and remain calm…

    Photo by Seth Doyle on Unsplash How is your Sunday going? Summer is coming up fast and it is that time of the year I start thinking about surf, sun and swimming. The video below is of a super long wave on a board that is floating above the wave. But even more important than the great scenery,…

    Photo by Jerry Kiesewetter on Unsplash How is your Sunday going? It’s starting to get warmer and the T-shirt is coming out of the cupboard. We don’t often think about what was required to get that T-shirt to us and how it was made. Unfortunately the T-shirt is evil. Watch the video to understand and consider the options.…

    Photo by rawpixel.com on Unsplash I was delivering a two day session last week on ethics and governance in the public sector. Sounds pretty dull but it is actually very interesting especially the debates we had around ethical dilemmas in the workplace. I found this video this week which contains a very interesting experiment on ethics. You might…

    Photo by Evan Dennis on Unsplash I recently finished re-reading a book I read over 10 years ago on ‘Understanding Stupidity’. Great book if you can find it. It explains a lot and in particular the current world situation. The video below is another attempt to understand stupidity. We talk about competency a lot in training but we…

    Photo by Jeremy Bishop on Unsplash How is your weekend going? It has been very dry lately where I live and in a lot of areas of Australia. No rain. The fire threat this summer looms. So this Sunday think of some rain. A nice storm. The video below might help as storms though often destructive are also…
