How do we work together?
I often see teams engrossed by deadlines, governing structures, strategic plans, and KPIs. All good stuff. And yet the result of over focusing here can lead to unclear communication, festering tensions, and a whole lot of unnecessary drama. To do the work means also working on the team relationship. The behaviours and beliefs that create the ‘us’ of a team fuel the work – that’s where the magic ha

Protect Your Peace
What if the pressure to stay on track, be better, and do more is precisely what’s holding you back?That aggressive, yang-like energy to tackle your to-do list can burn you out.

Your Influence Holds Power
