The meaning of Motivation

Motivation is driven a lot from within us, from our Values, from our Purpose.

Having a Purpose is a specific dimension of building and maintaining your Resilience.

Is it OK to be wrong sometimes?

How do you feel about being “wrong”?

Do you avoid it all costs or enjoy having your beliefs and ideas challenged? When we are more open and curious and encourage conversation, we avoid Group think and empower and enable others. Improved Decision Making happens too!

How long does it take to become a CEO?

On average it takes 24 years to become a CEO, however, a long-term study demonstrated, how you can get there faster (and better equipped).

Of course it takes Resilience, however, it’s also about being “squiggly”, asking for help and learning as you go.

The Apprentice: Possibly the worst example of leadership in action

I know The Apprentice is a TV Programme, however, I do worry that too many people are seeing their behaviours as a way to lead and “get ahead”.

After the 2008 financial Crash, a “New Leaders Paradigm” was highlighted that would be a different way forward - and it requires Resilience as well as a healthy approach to Ego.

What does it really mean to ‘Thrive’?

When people are truly Resilient then they are “living”in a space of Thrive, rather than coping or surviving.

Thriving Leaders know their Strengths, are optimistic, know their Strengths and capabilities and can genuinely see challenges as opportunities. They are “enjoying” themselves most of the time, even if they are dealing with difficult situations.

Is now the right time for a resilience coach?

What reflections, learning and growth do you want to take forward into next year?

Engaging with a Coach now, is potentially more important than ever. Resilient people generally feel more focussed, calm and in command of their challenges; can see opportunities and are more likely to make emotionally intelligent decisions.
