Reigniting a ‘dimmed spark’

As leaders, few challenges rival trying to motivate a disengaged or unmotivated employee. In fact, it’s my belief and experience that you can only create the conditions for people to feel motivated – you cannot control their internal drivers. This is, however, a moment for your leadership influence to shine and it’s vitally important when you do have demotivated people on your team to identify it and act quickly, because the apathy of one individual is capable of dragging on [...]

Purpose congruence for next-level performance

I’ve written about purpose before, in fact my book, What’s Your Catalyst?, is an essential guide to uncovering and leveraging our purpose to drive change. I’ve been re-exploring the role of purpose in today’s context and joining the dots between individual employees and the overall organizational purpose is proving to pay dividends.  […]

What’s Emotional Intelligence Got To Do With Leadership?

These are times of heightened emotions.  What we are seeing, hearing and experiencing is through our emotions.  I have studied, written about and applied emotional intelligence throughout my life and career, (sometimes without even realizing it at the time) to the point that it is embedded in my practice. However, it always serves us to take a step back, consider the current context and expand our understanding. To that end, let’s unpack: What has emotional intelligence got to do with [...]

Staying Connected in the Disconnected Workplace

With today's increasingly digital and dispersed teams, it can be challenging for leaders to maintain strong connections with their teams. Yet feeling disconnected at work has been linked to lower engagement, productivity, and retention rates. In my work with executives it is increasingly clear that building rapport and community amidst dispersed teams is a huge leadership challenge.  Whether your organization is implementing a return to the office, hybrid or remote working, teams still need to connect, communicate and collaborate. Yes, [...]

How curiosity can be a leadership competency

I wrote recently about the fresh start September offers us, with the back to school mindset of our younger days! This time of year also reminds me of what it was like to be a school age child, to be eager and open to new experiences. To be curious and ask endless questions with no self-consciousness because we were all learning, all of the time.  […]

Women in Leadership – Gains and Goals

For the first time in the history of the Fortune 500, women are leading 10% of the United States’ largest companies by revenue.  It might not feel like much of a leap, but it is a milestone nonetheless. Seeing women in these roles, achieving success and delivering results at the top of their industries, the more motivated and vindicated the push for gender parity. It is also encouraging to see gains in the traditionally male-dominated industries including financial services, defense [...]

September is the new January

As the sun-soaked days of summer gradually give way to the gentle rustle of falling leaves, there’s a sense of transition in the air that’s hard to ignore. September, often dubbed the “second January,” holds a unique charm for professionals, executives, and leaders seeking to recalibrate their focus and reignite their ambitions. Just as January marks the start of a new year, September brings the opportunity for a fresh start—a chance to realign priorities, set new goals, and implement positive [...]
