Haud Yer Wheest! The Power of Silence In Leadership.

In the dynamic world of leadership, where communication is often paramount, the power of silence can be a surprisingly effective tool. While many leaders may feel compelled to fill every moment with words, strategically placed silence can create space for deeper reflection, connection, and influence.

Personal Reflections are not just seen in mirrors!

I’ve often compared work to a high-speed treadmill. It’s tricky to jump off when it’s moving, and even trickier to get back on and up to your original pace – it takes a lot of effort.

Brave New Work.

During Covid, this book opened my eyes to doing things differently. I wasn’t furloughed; I didn’t get that time to mull things over. But I did get physical distance, which gave me space to see how I could improve the business I worked in, and how I was leading my team.
