Because professionals practice.

If you do it, do it for your goals.

When you've just had enough, you've nearly had enough.

Having the courage to down trou and bare your imperfect underside.

Who are your activities and choices making happy?

When the friction of network diversity is trumped by flow benefits.

The magic and necessity of weaving "both" into your strategy.

When you're working to lead, and the conga line isn't grabbing your hips... thought about why?

Organisational structure is not the primary enabler of teamwork.

The quantum of opportunity (and why most won't touch it with a stick).

Do you have to aim to be leaders in something?

You get to choose the kind of content you produce - Yoghurt Cups? Or Durian?

Strategy starting with tin tacks and the end in mind.

The varied lines that keep your sales esky full.

The entry fee and ongoing subscription dues for self employment.

Finding the silver lining of business improvement when austerity measures kick in.

7 thoughts on being a customer-centric business.

What it means to be a supporter and enabler of others.

The merits of investing time in something that'll be wrong from day 1.

The energy needed to hit critical payoff speed (and what to do when you don't).

Thinking beyond chromosomes and country of origin in your diversity approach.

When constant movement creates a sense of uncertainty and fear... how to shore it up.

Balancing learning from the past with crafting a new future.

Why this little-captured value has such a spreadable impact.

Determining whether you think you can or you can't.

The discipline of the successful professional and the teams that win.

Time management is picking and choosing what's in and what's tossed.

Setting goals you want to hit, not what looks good on paper.

Trimming frayed edges on otherwise brilliant customer service hems.

Giving up the ground when it's clear you're wrong.

The value of mates when you're travelling the hard, hot roads of professional progress.

Following a framework even when it's broken or imaginary.

When you can't help them, facilitating partnerships with those that can.

Making selections and avoiding overwhelm.

Snuffing out "the way we do things around here" obsolete ideas.
