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.

Why Happiness At Work Is Vital and What Employers Can Do

Why Happiness At Work Is Vital and What Employers Can Do

It seems one of the vital components for success is happiness One of the most frustrating problems I found when I led and managed teams was my inability to make all of my team members happy, despite my best efforts.  Of course the frustration was misguided because in those early days I didn’t actually realise happiness was an internal choice and that no matter what I did, if someone chose […]

2 Faulty Thinking Patterns Leaders Must Ditch

2 Faulty Thinking Patterns Leaders Must Ditch

Most progressive people in business understand only too well that the old paradigm of faulty thinking  has long gone. Examples like “profit before values”: underhand strategies of “the end justifies the means” or  “we are important so we deserve special privileges”  have been exposed and deleted by the best organisations.   While businesses regroup and reevaluate their ethics, culture and practices to make amends, change doesn’t happen overnight.  Some two years […]

The Leadership Formula – 5 Components For Transformation

The Leadership Formula – 5 Components For Transformation

Influential Leaders have several components in place, working together, which I call the leadership formula, which compels people to join in with and embrace their leadership. The leadership formula usually involves a number of fairly simple concepts.  Yet, despite the simplicity of such concepts, there still appears to be a dearth of great leadership at a business, political and world level.   Even though there seems to be some “modest” improvements […]

Burying the Hatchet on Work Place Disputes

Burying the Hatchet on Work Place Disputes

Disputes at work cost us much more than loss of productivity As we speak I have placed myself at the centre of a dispute. Now for me this is quite a big deal because quite frankly I am against being in dispute per se. The details of the dispute are immaterial because all it really boils down to is that the other person I am in dispute with simply sees […]

The Hidden Power For Leadership and Life

The Hidden Power For Leadership and Life

Everyone has this power, some of us just don’t realise it. When I first began leading and managing teams, I would be irritated by negative and “play it safe” people.  My desire to get on and create great outcomes meant anyone or anything which appeared to block the team power  or create resistance was simply just a nuisance.  That was just one of the many immature attitudes I began my […]

Tiny Buddha - The Lori Deschene Interview

Even before I realised how much I would get involved and connect with others across social media and the internet; one of the first personal resources I found which resonated with me was Lori Deschene’s Tiny Buddha twitter feed. As a life-long learner and self-awareness student, I have read my way through literally thousands of books which speak to my heart and soul, and I have to say Lori’s work […]

Finding balance while pursuing excellence I met with some very dear friends earlier this week, we are friends and business colleagues and so much of the topic of conversation revolves around our respective business issues.  We were recounting our progress with varying amounts of success.  One of my projects is taking much longer than I thought, and I was happily talking about the qualitative changes I felt I must make […]

The Cornerstone of Authentic Leadership

The Cornerstone of Authentic Leadership

Authentic Leadership skills include learning from relationships. Many years ago I worked with a client who was thinking of starting up her own business. She had many talents, and interests with lots to offer. Part of the process of finding out where she wanted to go, why and how she might do it was to explore her current employment which seemed to be causing her much angst, anger and frustration. […]
