Many moons ago; Frank sat across a massive wooden table that was wide enough to seat four people with space left over. Frank had his arms folded in front of his chest and sat at an angle, never quite facing Marianne directly throughout their meeting. To Marianne, Frank was uncomfortably distant. Frank was the head...
When a colleague makes a poor presentation, and you multiply that by the number of people in the room and the volume of presentations delivered every day in your organisation; an enormous amount of time is wasted. We can’t afford to lose precious hours, so let’s look at why some presentations squander so much time...

In 2019 I joined People Potential to head up the sales department; just one year...
This is not a typical ‘outgoing CEO’ message because I’m not going anywhere. After 30 years of being CEO, I’ve decided that it’s time to hand the baton to the next generation while I continue to play another role on the management team. 30 years is a long time to be CEO. Then again, it’s...

It’s a beautiful Wednesday morning for Mandy, one of those “Bring it on!” mornings. That’s because she’s ready for anything that her CEO is going to throw at her. After burning the midnight oil for three nights in a row, her mountain of slides have now been organised into a data-rich, logical presentation. Mandy is...
