Teams flounder and fail when they normalise dysfunctionality – when the interpersonal relationships deteriorate into a state of distrust, disrespect, and disregard.

I love the word flourish; it is energy, joy, fulfilment, and flow.

Despite having lived in Australia for 23 years, I’m often asked where I’m from. This may have something to do with my accent!

Do you ever stop to think about how you became you?

I’m often asked what’s different about effective leaders.

Based on the reaction to and interest in an earlier newsletter, I thought it would help to expand on 10:60:30 structure I proposed to make meetings matter.

Our attention and energy are directed to either what we move towards (attachments) or what we move away from (aversions).

At a recent executive team coaching session, I invited the team members to reflect on and share what moods they observed they were in – most said a mood of positivity and optimism.

Each day in February, I posted an insight into leadership to help you access more of your greatness, so you live and lead with greater fulfilment and impact.

Most leaders I work with claim to spend between 50-70% of their time in meetings; most of which they claim are unproductive, de-energising and unnecessary.

One of the most distinguishing attributes of high performing teams is the access teams have to the collective wisdom, no individual nor group has.

My wish is 2023 be your most special and exciting year, filled with good health and happiness.
