I’m a big fan of sabbaticals.
Life tends to have a way of happening. We take the steps that show up in front of us, develop a routine, get comfortable and soon the pattern we are in sets our days and our lives.
Reflections, refocus, and a new offering
The context for our work remains leadership and culture. The primary focus of our work is on managers as the expression and conduit of these.
In terms of culture, engagement, and performance we believe that managers are the most impactful people in the organisation. We need brilliant leadership absolutely (and many great consultants are offering programs in that space).
Foundations of Manager Excellence – COMING SOON
“Your role as a team leader is the most important role in any company and who your company chooses to make team leader is the most important decision it ever makes.” - Buckingham & Goodall
Yet despite their critical role, many managers undertake their role with no training and little support.
In response to this, we have been developing a management curriculum designed to meet the needs of new, developing and experienced managers.
A different Christmas message
What a year it has been. In our home the disruption of Covid has been combined with the craziness of a major renovation. Recently my 12 year old cat started spraying indoors, a sign of intense stress the vet said. He explained to me how constant stress depletes serotonin and how after a while it becomes difficult to replenish this, leading to anxiety and reactiveness over things that would not normally worry us. ‘Russell’ I said, ‘are you talking about me or the cat? ’ because it all sounded strangely familiar. He laughed. ‘You are not alone in that’ he said.
