True Believers are courageous — they leave the world a better place due to the way they live their life and the way they influence other’s lives. When I was at a tipping point in 2011 it was one of the toughest periods of my life. The day I couldn’t get out of bed I…

Every new day is a chance to celebrate your very precious life. When we wake up each day we have a choice to either focus on what is or what isn’t. When we stop being a victim to what isn’t and start being grateful for all that is – life gets a whole lot better.

Beyond a serious and sober existence lies a playground of possibility. Remember those pre-school days — with play time, eat time and sleep time?…

Once the leader is fit to lead they need to focus attention on the people in their team. They need to find ways to engage them individually and collectively in a shared vision. Then they have to encourage and guide others to work out the most effective way of delivering on the vision. As a…

When it comes to good leadership, getting ourselves ‘right’ to lead is imperative.
