Good news! Resilience can be learnt. Resilience is a secret weapon everyone should develop and practise daily to live a more fulfilled life.

Connect with Empathy, But Lead with Compassion

What is the difference between empathy and compassion, and the strategies for leading with compassion:

1. Take a mental and emotional step away

2. Ask “What do you need?”

3. Remember the power of non-action

4. Coach the person rather than doing something for them

5. Practice self-care.

Learn?more in the attached HBR article.

Trust and Performance

A must watch. Who would you prefer to work with in your team or/and as a leader? The high performer with low trust or the good performer with high trust. Please take 2.5 minutes of your time to watch how performance vs trust works in an organisation!

GROW Model - We LOVE this tool
