Emotional resilience means:

• The ability to recover from set-backs

• The strength to live with uncertainty

• Learning to grow, not crumble, through adversity

So how can we do this?

A phrase I often use in life, and in coaching, is that ‘Whilst we judge ourselves by our intention, others judge us by our behaviour.’

Emotional intelligence isn't just a 'nice-to-have'; it's essential for our success as leaders. So - how does emotional intelligence benefit us as leaders?

Understanding our own, and others’ predominant communication style/s can improve understanding and decrease frustration and conflict. Being able to flex our style authentically to better connect with others can be particularly effective.

Effective communication is the lifeblood of any successful team. But it doesn't happen in a vacuum; it's influenced by each team member's unique style. Whether you're a senior leader, or a new starter, understanding your colleagues’ communication styles can make a dramatic difference to your daily interactions, which in turn produces a harmonious and productive work environment.

Think coaching is an exclusive service for the C-suite or pro athletes? Time to think again. Coaching is an effective tool for anyone who aspires to grow professionally and personally.

Have you ever avoided a challenging conversation - kicked the can down the road, put your head in the sand hoping it will go away? Many of us are guilty of this! 

Diversity is all around us in many, many ways. And at this time of year, there’s diversity in whether you’re celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or the winter solstice, or nothing at all.   We also hear the phrases cognitive diversity and neurodiversity a lot. Ever wondered what they really mean and why they matter?

Ever had conversations with colleagues where tensions run high and relationships become strained? Or where you disagree with what’s been said yet don’t feel comfortable saying so.  

Free up time, energy and bandwidth by empowering your team to tackle more challenges and opportunities on their own.
