Where does the Change Sit ? With the Leaders or with Our Listening?
Changing culture isn’t easy, especially as culture can be seen to be the sum of all the individual identities, so it is inherently personal.

It isn't even about the other person. It is about them, how they are feeling and about us sustaining that image of themselves. Stop fixing me, start loving me. Stop helping [...]

Finding Ways to Let the Past Stay in the Past
This started as a quick reminder on my Facebook page. “It is fun and feels natural and normal to talk about what happened and why. But by bringing the past into the present you lose the opportunity to create a new future. You lose the present.” Seems I needed to [...]
