It would be amiss of me not to talk about the thing that everyone is talking about… the Springbok team winning the 2019 RWC. What a performance! And what an inspiration to so many people in so many different ways. As a business coach, for me it was about teamwork, about a meaningful goal that

ACCELERATE INTO THE LAST QUARTER OF THE YEAR
Here’s a sobering thought. This week heralds the end of the third quarter of the year. From next week, we are into the fourth and final quarter of the year. Are you going to achieve your goals this year? Or are you already writing this year off, and hoping that next year will be better?

GOING NOWHERE FAST ON A TREADMILL
Running on a treadmill at gym has got to be one of them most boring activities. It’s a whole lot of effort, running on the spot and making no progress. Seeing the same scenery. Getting tired. The only thing preventing me from pushing the emergency stop button is the hope that I might be getting

BEHAVIOUR AND ACTION GETS RESULTS

SETTING GOALS: MIND YOUR LANGUAGE
The night before my daughter’s first day of Grade 10, she proudly rattled off her goals for the year ahead. While I was suitably impressed that a 15-year-old was so pro-active and self-motivated to give this important topic due consideration, I was not popular for pointing out that her goals were just ideas, wishes and

REVIEW. REFLECT. RECHARGE. REFRESH.
It’s that time of the year when everything grinds to halt and people take a well deserved break from the rat race. Successful business owners and executives don’t stop for a minute. Even when you are not working, you are thinking about working. You feel guilty when you take a break for yourself. Sound familiar?
