There are millions of people who have been on a 1/2 day course or read a book who would consider themselves “time managers” but what exactly are they managing?  Are they the managers or are they being managed?

  It’s amazing how life works sometimes. I came across this quote today from Ralph Waldo Emerson; “Our chief want in life is somebody who will make us do what we can.” It reminded me of something a client once said to me. I’d only been working with them for a couple of weeks when [...]

A very good friend of mine, Guy Insull, reminded us all recently that the word “remarkable” means “worth remarking on”.  As we get started on 2012, I wonder what remarks your actions and results will stimulate at the end of the year?  Even more importantly, how would you like to feel as you celebrate the [...]

Everyone deals with change every day of their lives.  But, in business, the first [...]

I had a great conversation with a friend this morning who is striving to move away from the structured world of targets, deadlines and process and move towards a life that is more loosely constructed around following her heart and doing what she loves in a balanced way. She’s doing really well in terms of [...]

  This great diagram illustrates the speed with which social networks are growing.  It includes almost 30% more sites than the last image I saw just a few months ago. What’s great about this is the opportunity for individuals to connect and collaborate on projects dear to their heart with people in their community, in [...]

In these time starved days when everything is required yesterday and life seems to be constantly being put off until tomorrow, I am often asked, “What’s the best use of 1 hour?” and, until recently, my answer was always the one favoured by politicians, namely, “It depends on the circumstances.” For example, if you have [...]
