Are you really happy?
My wish is that your answer is, “Yes!” But, if you aren’t as happy as you’d like to be, you are not alone. In the aftermath of the pandemic, the World Health Organisation (WHO) reports that Anxiety Disorders is up by 25.6% and Major Depressive Disorders by 27.6%....
How well do you say NO?
Millions of people are so addicted to approval and so fearful of confrontation and rejection that their “Yes” habit has serious emotional and physical consequences. When we suffer from the “disease to please,” we try to make others happy at the detriment of our own...
Do you have social anxiety?
As a child and young adult, I suffered with severe social anxiety. Although I have found ways to manage it, it still rears its head, especially in “performance” situations. While I might look forward to going to parties or to meet a new client, I still get anxious...

My last article focused on mastering the skill of giving feedback by taking Key Steps to WIN FASTER™. I had promised to write about getting and receiving feedback this week but I’ve decided to go a little deeper into one of the Key Steps of giving effective feedback,...

This month, with 8 March being International Women’s Day, I’ve been focusing on the Key Steps we can take to make a difference, bridge power gaps and be part of the ongoing journey to equality. This week, I’d like to challenge us to ask ourselves if we are really...
What power gaps do you need to bridge?
There are several distinct power gaps, originally written about by coach Kathy Caprino, that we need to bridge. They prevent us from thriving in our work and limit our confidence, energy, self-belief and sense of internal control. They keep us from feeling like we are...
How do we break the bias?
I know exactly what I want to share with you this week but, as I sit here trying to write, I am really struggling to get my “head in the game” and my keyboard going. What is happening to thousands of Ukrainians – and the Russian forces’ families – weighs so heavily on...
Do you love yourself enough?
One of the most important relationships of your life is the one with yourself. Yet, it is often easier to imagine how much we love our family, our partner or friends. In fact, we can become so externally focused that we forget how important self-love is. There is a...
