Managing the stress of the festive season
Christmas can be particularly stressful. It’s not just the practical things like presents, cards and parties, it’s also the emotional turmoil of families and friends, and the ‘Insta-perfect’ time we’re all supposed to be having.

Trust: elusive but essential
According to Edelman’s annual Trust Barometer, our trust in public organisations is not just on a slow, but marked decline. In fact, in 2022 for the first time, businesses were more trusted than government or the media, and even NGOs. However, the result is nothing to be proud of. Only 61% of survey respondents said […]

The era of the empathetic boss
More than 30 years since Gordon Gekko declared “greed is good”, have we finally woken up to a more empathetic leadership style? Our LinkedIn family certainly thinks so.

When differences are strengths – the value of assessments
Let’s be honest, it’s so much easier to work with people who think like we do. When you’re already aligned on the best option, you can quickly reach a decision. There’s not so much debate and evaluation. All good, right? Wrong! Better decisions come when we embrace our differences, but that’s easier said than done. […]

Walk this way … to emotional management
We recently asked you about your walking habits. Ever since ’10,000 steps a day’ was conceived by a Japanese pedometer manufacturer in the 1960s, we’ve been encouraged to go on a daily walk. We’ve now moved on from pedometers to smart watches and fitness trackers, but the walking habit has stood the test of time. […]

Growing up – Why vertical development is the key to growing capacity
Anyone can set themselves up as a coach, and while certifying organisations, who set themselves up as such, may offer some guide to quality, there is no widely agreed standard in the UK or internationally. As a result, it is very difficult for many organisations to know what a good coach looks like. Companies don’t […]

And the phrase is as relevant to the challenging Icelandic environment as it is to the workplace. Positive relationships at work can make or break a job. First, let me explain a little about […]

Understanding Student Emotions
Sitting on a train recently, I ‘earwigged’ on a group of five teenagers chatting about their school life.
