THE HEART OF LEADERSHIP. Why Human Skills Matter.
THE HEART OF LEADERSHIP. Why Human Skills Matter.

Soft skills, hard skills. Personally, I’m not a fan of these terms. I prefer human skills and technical skills because there is nothing soft about  human skills. They can be much harder to master.  In the realm of executive leadership, the spotlight often shines on technical expertise, strategic vision, and operational efficiency. While these elements are undeniably crucial, the significance of human skills should not be underestimated. Human skills, such as empathy, communication, and emotional intelligence, play a pivotal role in effective leadership.

HOW TO FUTURE PROOF Your Long Term Career Goals
HOW TO FUTURE PROOF Your Long Term Career Goals

I remember sitting in a leadership summit with 500 leaders from around the world.  Money well spent, in my opinion, as the topic was the updated vision of the organization and the re-engagement of the company culture; essentially a refresh of the Mission, Vision and Values (MVV). It made sense from a corporate perspective, but as I walked out of that room, I thought to myself, “I wonder how many people know what their personal MVV is or even have one?”

Why A Growth Mindset is Crucial in Uncertain Times
Why A Growth Mindset is Crucial in Uncertain Times

Did you know that Steven Spielberg was rejected from film school three times before getting his big break? Even Oprah Winfrey was fired from her news co-anchor position at a Baltimore TV station before going on to build a successful daytime talk show. A producer reportedly told her that she was “unfit for television news.”

So, how did they go on to see such phenomenal success? Talent for sure. That’s hard to argue, but there are a lot of talented people in the world, so what makes them different?

WHY SLOWING DOWN SPEEDS THINGS UP. Ten Questions to Ask Yourself to Make The Next Year Successful
WHY SLOWING DOWN SPEEDS THINGS UP. Ten Questions to Ask Yourself to Make The Next Year Successful

It’s almost the end of the year. For me personally, I love this time of the year; it's the time when I take a breather, look back and see how the year has gone. It’s a time for personal reflection and an opportunity to look at my career to assess what went well and what I want to do differently moving forward. And the truth is how you show up in life is how you show up as a leader so taking the time be clear on what went well and what you would like to change can be done in tandem.

WANT TO CLONE YOURSELF? Master the Art of Delegation.
WANT TO CLONE YOURSELF? Master the Art of Delegation.

If you want it done right; do it yourself. Wrong! There are loads of reasons why we choose not to delegate: we don’t have the time to train someone else, fear of losing control, losing the jobs we actually enjoy- just to name a few. But If you want it done right; do it yourself. Wrong!
