“You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realise this, and you will find strength.”?–?Marcus Aurelius?
Something for you to watch…
There are several stories to be heard about climbers attempting, and even successfully summiting, Mount Everest.?Sherpa?isn’t one of them. It tells the lesser-known story of the Himalayan guides who risk everything to support those very climbers. Watch this and you’ll find yourself thinking about the acceptance of risk and the true cost of Westerners attempting to conquer the world’s highest summit.

Something for you to read...
If you haven’t read the Alliance yet, take this as a warning that you’ll see employment in a completely different light. We mean that in the best way possible. To give you an idea, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Linkedin, Reid Hoffman, highlights the way in which the employer-employee relationship is broken. Instead, he suggests that managers face a seemingly impossible dilemma: the old model of guaranteed long-term employment no longer works in a business environment defined by continuous change, but neither does a system in which every employee acts like a free agent.
The solution? Stop thinking of employees as either family or as free agents. Think of them instead as allies. What do you, as an employer, want to get from them during the time they work for you? What can you offer them in exchange?
Feeling intrigued about how an Alliance might look for you and your team members? We have a learning pod module for that. Not sure what that is? Click?here to learn more.
Something you could learn from...
We recently stumbled upon?Neish Library?– a library of online coaching resources created and delivered by a highly respected executive coach called Jim McNeish. It’s ￡20 per month well spent on phenomenal content which Jim hopes will become the “kindling to fuel your passion.” We recommend checking out ‘The Shadow’?module which explores the concept of ‘the shadow,’ or the part of ourselves that we deny to our detriment but if we understand and embrace, can teach us a lot about ourselves.
Something for you to listen to…?
If you’re someone who can’t work in silence but gets distracted by lyrics, this?Deep Concentration?playlist might be for you. It’s quiet, non-descriptive and relaxing. Hopefully, it’s just what you need to get into the zone and have a really productive Monday.
