Review your Frequent Five: Do they uplift and support you? Or do they judge you and sap your energy?  As children, we are told by our parents to be careful about the friends we make.

With the right approach, a potentially incompetent manager can turn out to be a success.  The bumbling boss who fumbles and blusters his way through life in the office is an enduring caricature across popular culture, from television series like The Office to the Dilbert comic strip in the daily newspaper. Behind this stereotype lies some truth. […]

Step off the beaten path to script your own success story. (We’ve got your back.)  Over the next few weeks, many of you will be engaging in performance reviews, goal setting discussions and career dialogues. I recently wrote to you about how we need to be willing to stretch ourselves more, experiment more and generally get […]

Don’t play victim

September 6, 2021September 6, 2021NelsonLeave a Comment on Don’t play victim

Change your internal narrative and put yourself back in the driver’s seat.  Quite often, when things don’t pan out as desired, we start placing blame instead of taking responsibility. Whining creeps in. We don’t take accountability for our choices and our actions. This “woe is me” attitude can be quite toxic. So, my message today […]

Can you turn your shortcoming into an advantage?

August 25, 2021August 24, 2021NelsonLeave a Comment on Can you turn your shortcoming into an advantage?

Could your “weakness” actually be a competitive advantage in disguise? “My dyslexia may have been an obstacle in my schooling, but I learned to use it to my advantage – turning it into one of the most powerful tools in my bag of business tricks.

Don’t wait around for a purpose. Get intentional about loving what you do, every day.  There is a well-known story of American president John F. Kennedy, who was on a visit to the NASA headquarters in 1961. He met a janitor who was busy mopping the floor. Kennedy went over and introduced himself to the […]

How to stay relevant and continue to thrive at work after crossing the fifty-year mark.  For most of our parents, it was assumed that they would retire by the time they were 60. However, things are changing rapidly. People are now living longer and working for longer than any other time in history. The World Health Organisation’s research […]
