Workplaces are digitally progressing exponentially with new technologies at their fingertips, but are they transforming as many would like us to believe? The short answer is unfortunately a most definite no. Yet why have we dropped the enterprise evolution ball so badly? If you want your workplace to transform in the new world of the digital evolution, it is simply not enough to adopt new technology in your business. You need to completely overhaul your ways of working rig

The modern workplace has changed forever. We can thank COVID19 for the fast progression to remote working, or can we? Across the globe, there has been a gradual shift to remote working, in a variety of forms, for more than 20 years. Yet it has never really taken off on mass. COVID19 brought us an incredible opportunity to advance remote working into many sectors that had not been considered possible prior. It is interesting to reflect on what we can achieve when under the pre

In the disruptive world we live in, it can sometimes feel like finding joy is like searching for a needle in a haystack. What if I told you that you could be looking in all the wrong places? Would you believe me? If you feel lost, attempting to find the joy, in this disruption that is the world today. Take heart. You are not alone. We have all been taught to seek joy externally to us. To seek it in other people and in things. Only to discover that even once you have all the p

What exists without exists within. Sounds like a riddle right? This might seem like an over-simplistic idea in what appears like a complex world. However, if you stick with me on this one, you might discover the simplicity that is hidden beneath the complexity that we have woven into every corner of life, like a giant cobweb that covers everything. Just like a mask covering your face. So you might be thinking, what is this web I speak of? This web is a combination of our sto

Sometimes we get so caught up in the big acts of bravery depicted in movies, that we forget about the nobility and humility of the small equally important acts of bravery that occur in everyday life. Some days the ultimate act of bravery can be as simple as just getting out of bed to face the day ahead. We all experience these types of experiences some time in our lives. On these days, if you get up, you have achieved success. Bravery looks like so many things when we begin t

Trusting in your own heart to lead you forward is both absolute bravery and the ultimate act of freedom, all rolled into one. The only problem is most of us don't realise it. Think about this. You literally have one hundred billion neurons in your brain that are working exclusively for you, every moment of every day. Learning to trust the self and all that you are, body, mind and soul isn’t a leap of faith. It’s more about an understanding of the absolutely enormous magnitud

The beautiful relationship between a father and daughter is a unique one. Yet it is one that many of us struggle to understand. Fatherhood often comes suddenly and during youthful years when a man may still feel like he is trying to find his way in the world. Men are not alone in this space, as it is something that far too often causes great confusion in the progression of men and women alike. Getting to the bottom of it, to enable better understanding is incredibly import

A healthy dose of positivity goes a long way, particularly in these disruptive times of COVID19. If you are feeling that the world seems to be filled with doom and gloom right now, then maybe you need to consider changing the lens you are looking through. Whilst there is always difficulty in the world, there is also equal prosperity. Great things are happening right alongside things that appear to be terrible. It is all about the lens you look through in life. If you look

We all know that a reward is a thing given in recognition of service, effort, or achievement. Sounds good right! Not always, in fact, the focus on the reward can be incredibly harmful to you individually and downright destructive to humanity. This has culminated in creating a sense of never having enough in a society that is almost completely exterior focused, no matter how frequently the external rewards keep on coming. It is a trap, appearing like a net that has somehow

Freedom! A word that conjures up so much for so many, yet what does it mean to you? Do any of us have or have ever really had true freedom? It seems to be a particularly interesting and yet somehow potentially volatile question to pose in today's world. When we look at freedom through the lens of mindfulness, it opens up an interesting and somewhat complex situation indeed. So let's take a look. We probably should begin at the beginning by consulting the dictionary as at l

Patience! A skill lost to more than one generation that we somehow left behind. Now is the time to stop judging the generations that have come since and go back to get them. As true leaders, our job is not to take charge of the leaders of tomorrow. In reality, it is to take responsibility for raising up those in our charge, to enable them to become the best versions of themselves. We do this by taking ownership of our mistakes, and effectively becoming their greatest ever s

In life, we often feel like we get stuck in situations and places because we feel like we have no choice. You always have a choice, so don’t ever let anyone convince you that you don’t. Even staying in a situation that is no longer serving you is a choice. What are you choosing for yourself today? There are no so-called bad choices in life, just experiences. If you change your focus, you can change your experience completely. So-called bad choices often lead to better choice

In life, we so often seek tirelessly to be understood by those around us. Yet what if I told you that we may have gotten it backwards all along? To seek understanding firstly of yourself brings greatness into your life. We so forget this vital step in life. By doing this we allow ourselves time to foster our authenticity to rise to the surface. When this happens, we in turn indirectly teach others to understand us by example. It is like a giant mirror. Then and only then w

Unconditional love can so often seem like an impossible feat in our modern society. We seek to be loved rather than to love. So why is it that we have unconsciously placed the condition of being loved, within the construct of the love itself that we give to others? To understand this, think of how you would feel if you told someone you loved them for the first time. Only to have the one you have chosen to love, say thank you in return. How this potentially makes you feel is

Discomfort! A word that makes many of us squirm just at the mere thought. What if I told you I’ve made discomfort my new best friend? Would you think I was mad? Has opportunity knocked on your door, but you missed it because you were scared to see the truth, so you ran from discomfort? The interpretation of truth is a worthwhile concept to consider, which can bring profound revelations to ponder in life. We throw the word around like it means only one thing to everyone. Yet,

When you woke up this morning, did you jump out of bed eager and grateful to experience another day of life? Or did you wake up with a sense of dread when you realised that it is still was not the weekend yet? This feeling, by the way, is more commonplace than you first might think. The vast majority of us find it hard to be present in our everyday life. We tend to live in the past in regret, sorrow or reliving the joy we once had. When not ruminating on the past, we are all

Do you procrastinate, or do you surrender to the present moment? This is a question that has come up for me many times in my life. As I began to study yoga many years ago, I looked closely at the topic of surrender. I became somewhat intrigued to discover that in many instances in my life, I was surrendering to present moment awareness, not procrastinating like many people around me liked to point out. Let's be clear though, life is not a battleground, and surrender is not l

There is what would seem in our modern society a significant problem with undervaluing our worth. We seem to find it easy to value those we love and our possessions, yet for some reason, we regularly sink into a big black hole when it comes to the value we place on ourselves. Why is this so? For you, is it that you were taught in life to put everyone else first? Do you struggle to project your value in your workplace? Or do you struggle to project your value appropriately in

So we live in an exponential growth technology era right! Where we have literally a technology solution for what seems like everything. We no longer spend the majority of our time, like our ancestors did, gathering food to eat. To top it off, in the western world, we even have a shop or store that has all our needs covered. Yet why are we all still so busy? Are we just busy being busy? These two questions I have pondered for many years. Surely I must not be the only one. Whe

Are you like many of us in modern society, dancing with the inner critic in your life? You know, that voice in your head, that tells you that you are an idiot for the mistake you just made, or telling you to give up before you've even begun. Well, if this is sounding somewhat familiar, be assured you are in good company. You see, criticism is merely judgment masquerading in another outfit. Judgement, through generations of conditioning, has become the socially acceptable nor
