People Development Blog

The People Discovery Blog is a bit of a labour of love.  I love sharing new ideas, concepts and strategies to help leaders, managers, business owners, or anyone interested in people development see fresh and new perspectives, or even to reinforce their own great practices.

My blog includes topics on leadership development, leadership practices, human resources.  My leadership development model is the filter for all of my work, both in how I help clients and also how I write.  You can find out more about the model here.  I believe that inside of everyone is a higher self which is powerful, loving, kind and creative.  In addition I believe that when you can come to the realisation that we are all connected, then it is inevitable that a unity consciousness develops.  The power of living life through unity consciousness is that it resolves all conflicts and unites all people.  I hope you learn and enjoy my blog.  I wish you peace, love and enlightenment in your life.

Great Spirits Have Often Encountered Violent Opposition From Mediocre Minds

Why A Leader Must Consider Being Visible on Social Media

The World In Your Lap – Leadership, Social Media And Authenticity I’ve read a number of articles recently about whether it is a good idea for CEOs to embrace various social media platforms. One of the  latest to add to the debate is Richard Branson. In his article “Why aren’t more business leaders online?, he quotes  IBM’s 2012 Global CEO Study which reports only 16% of CEOs use social media, and even […]

Never Mind The " X Factor ", Does your business have the "E" Factor?

What is the mysterious X Factor ingredient which makes your business great? That mysterious elusive quality of “the X Factor” existed before the popular shows.  The Oxford Dictionary describes the “X Factor” as ” a special quality, especially one that is essential for success and is difficult to describe”.  In the past I’ve asked the question “Does your business have the X Factor?”  Of course we all want to be in […]

You Become what you Believe

You Become what you Believe

In the Words of the Song “What you believe is true”   Our beliefs are like a self imposed box around which clouds the access to any reality we want.  What you believe is nothing but a filter which helps create your world.  You may well think that what you believe is true, but you only have to listen to other people’s beliefs which contrast or contradict your own to understand that […]

When Trouble Hits – 8 Ways to Develop Resilience, Options and “Falling up”

When Trouble Hits – 8 Ways to Develop Resilience, Options and “Falling up”

Resilience is shown in the most unusual of circumstances When I was small, my parents had a part of our garden tarmacked over.  I can still remember my mother’s delight when the spring crocuses pushed through the tarmac to flower year after year.  Whenever I think of our own resilience and ability to shine through adversity, I think of the hardiness of those delicate little flowers. Like me, you know […]
