You’ve been a leader for quite some time, and you’re stepping into a new position or company. Maybe both! The ambitious women I know are actively working on making the most significant impact in their first 3-6 months (maybe longer), but, even the best and brightest are bound to make some of the most common leadership mistakes. Don’t we
If there was ever a time where emotional intelligence was needed, this moment in our global evolution would be it. New leadership – the kind we need more of in our world and we’ll see more of in the future of work calls for emotional intelligence. Have I said it enough? Maybe. I know I’ve written about it quite a
With remote work becoming more than just a trend, so is corporate well-being in the future of work. Frankly, to me, it’s just – well-being and we need to start thinking about creating work environments that support it. With a global pandemic prompting leaders to happily wave goodbye to old ways of working, we saw many making lifestyle changes that reminded them
There’s been a collection of buzz words we heard a lot since the pandemic, resilience being one of them. As it relates to corporate, much of the focus has been on organizational resiliency, even when we speak of leadership resiliency. Driving an organization to success in uncertain times while the future continues to be unknown is important, yet, the kind
I’m still coming out of holiday mode and all of what was 2020 because let’s be real – it was A YEAR! A year I was quite happy to say goodbye to. A new year tends to bring a whirlwind of excitement for the success and possibilities that lie ahead, which inevitably brings failures. I don’t say that from the
This time of year, holiday parties are in full swing and many of us are getting ready to set goals for the year ahead. It’s one of my favourite things to do during the holidays. Not to be confused with creating new year’s resolutions. 😉 Whether you plan on doing this for yourself or at work with your team, research
The hustle and bustle of work-culture and the fast-paced work life have been celebrated forever and a day. A lifestyle for many in the corporate world – but was it really working for you? I can confidently tell you it likely wasn’t. It wasn’t working before and it’s definitely not going to hold up in a post-COVID world. I saw
When deadlines are being missed at work, it’s easy to question your level of motivation among other things. You might ask, what’s changed? Your performance was at its best 6 months ago, yet somehow over the recent months, performance has fallen flat, so what do you attribute the decline to in your work? For many, the pandemic has influenced nearly
Lately, it seems as though many of my conversations have been about life events occurring in people’s lives that have them being forced to react instead of responding. Anything from relationships being challenged, to jobs dangling by a thread or leaving a toxic workplace altogether. This year alone has brought about some of the most significant challenges that had many
Remember when you loved having the flexibility to work from home? You saw it as a perk, while others saw it as a part of work-life and now it might just be a part of your reality – for good. As businesses acclimate to what a new work-life experience will look like post-COVID, companies like Facebook and Twitter have announced a transition that will
We’re nearly halfway through the year and those goals you may have set for yourself in January (hello new year’s resolutions) may be awash in light of this pandemic. Perspective will either tell you to completely redo them or revisit them and make them work FOR you in our current state. Change has always been a constant and yet for
Psychological safety is a ‘feeling‘ we’ve heard more and more of in the workplace in more recent years. If you asked about how it relates to organizations 20 or 30 years ago, it wasn’t a common concept. Today, it relates to factors that affect employee engagement, employee performance and leadership to name a few. In its simplest terms, psychological safety
Have you ever made a bad career decision and later realized, “what was I thinking?” Well, there was a point in time I thought these kinds of decisions often happened in the form of career moves when moving from one company to the next. I didn’t think they can also be choosing roles within your company you could later regret.
Fear in the spiritual sense is the absence of love. In everyday life, it looks like this… “I need to make enough money in case something happens.” Or “I have to go to that conference, or I won’t meet any new clients.” Or “If I ask for time off, they’ll think I’m lazy and not working hard enough.”
How many of you have been part of an organization where you were impacted by some kind of change? I can see most of us raising our hand. Whether it’s leadership changes, structural changes, changes in policies, etc. When you’re part of a small organization, you often feel those changes much more than if you were working for a global
The day you set the intention to pursue your dream is not the same day you reap the rewards. So often when we’re chasing or manifesting our dreams, our thoughts are miles ahead than where we actually are or where we’d like to be. But who’s isn’t? We’re already thinking 2 maybe 3 years down the road, we imagine we
Welcome back! To a new year, a new start and 365 days ahead of you to DO whatever it is your heart ❤ desires. Coming back from a relaxed holiday with lots of time for rest, sleep (LOTS of sleep), family time, filling my belly (and soul) with love and yummy treats. I’m looking forward to getting back into the
