Change 4:04

We can’t become who we want to be by remaining who we are. It’s a funny old thing ‘change’, isn’t it? It can be uncomfortable, unwelcome, unwanted even, but we all instinctively know that we can’t live without it. There’s no life without change. So let today be the day we stop railing against it and, instead of using our energy to fight with the ol…

It’s nice isn’t it, when someone tells you how proud they are of you for what you’ve done, or for who you have become. And it’s interesting too that despite knowing the wonderful gift that this short phrase is to people, we rarely bestow it on others - in either a personal or professional context. Perhaps they already know. Or perhaps they don’t. M…

Next time you’re speaking with a client, your manager or your partner, rather than just responding to the words being spoken, take a moment - go deeper-and see if you c…

Things don’t always go exactly to plan, but that’s OK. In fact, it’s more than ‘OK’, it’s essential. If we don’t try, we’ll never win. Some of the greatest minds in innovation are unphased by failure, thinking of it rather as ‘learning a way that [something] doesn’t work’. It might sound convenient, trite even, but it’s true. It’s an unbelievably e…
