Oh, no...not this again… We’ll never get through the agenda at this rate. And it goes on from there. We’re sure you can relate. Gatherings of people are complex because people are complex, and when we get together in groups, the complexity of our relationships, personalities and agendas is laid out bare for all to see (except, usually, ourselves). Add technology, a bit of uncertainty, and a dash of emotion, and YIKES, we are off to the races! The good news is, the typical struggles you experience when leading or facilitating a group are totally normal, and utterly commonplace. What’s more, there is a pattern in the chaos of all the difficult things that often happen in meetings. Which means there’s lots of simple adaptations we can make to bounce back, soothe the nerves, and get things back on track to keep everyone rolling. Come join us for a lifting of the hood where we’ll take a good, clear look at the common difficulties meeting facilitators are always juggling, and how […]

Navigating COVID-19: Mindfulness For Mental Health

The global pandemic has generated greater need and attention for Mental Health/Wealth. Practicing mindfulness means focusing in the ‘present’ rather than reliving the past or worrying about the future. Let Mindfulness give you a ‘Present’! For decades ‘soft skills’ haven’t got the respect and consideration it deserves in business or society. It has been an after thought or perhaps when we have the time to think about it. The current pandemic has created an urgency to rethink and shift focus on soft skills both for leaders and teams NOW.
