This morning on my way to the airport for a trip to the USA, I was listening to the global CEO of Rio Tinto, a giant mining company. He was talking about the importance of creating a new approach in business, not B2B but B2P. Business to people. Mind you, I prefer P2P…

Lifestyles in our culture leave many people feeling exhausted, stressed, overwhelmed and functioning below par. Have you ever read Michael Gerber’s book The E Myth? In it, he says entrepreneurs fail because they are too busy working IN their businesses and not ON their businesses. The same applies to life. Most people are so swamped…

Our personality traits show up through our mindsets. We are not our mindsets but our mindsets influence everything in our lives! And our thinking determines our mindsets. Both of which can be changed. Personality traits ‘appear’ through our actions, attitudes and behaviors. At the base of all three of those is our thinking. So our…

Ok, so you have heard all this stuff about mindsets but you are not really sure what they are! Simplistically, a mindset is just a collection of beliefs. Beliefs are just thoughts arranged in a pattern! I was honored to spend a lot of time with a client recently on their roadshow, who all have…

I believe excitement ‘jumps’! If someone is excited, enthusiastic and passionate about something, they ‘infect’ those around them with the virus! Of course, some people are more susceptible to the enthusiasm virus. Why choose to be someone, or hang around anyone, who dampens enthusiasm: a wet blanket who puts out the fire of life? Make…

Every meeting planner or leader is looking for a speaker who can facilitate changes within their organization or team.
