The Self-Aware Leadership Compass Quiz – 9 Directions for Excellence
The Self-Awareness Compass Quiz is a tool to help you assess your own behaviour against the nine directions of the Self-Aware Leadership Compass. The nine directions, or ‘behaviours’ that are critical for you to develop and grow. It’s a tool I created to accompany my book, ‘The Self-Awareness Superhighway’. The Quiz helps you understand how you are received and perceived by others. It’s a simple but powerful way to get insights into how you impact the people around you. It combines a self-assessment with feedback from friends, family or colleagues to create a journey map. Your map will help point you in the right direction for becoming an excellent leader who strives to grow their self-awareness skills every day.

We might just save the world… Reflections on the CMI Women in Leadership Conference
I recently attended my first in-person Chartered Management Institute (CMI) Women in Leadership conference, themed “Divide or Prosper.” The event featured inspiring speakers, with key takeaways including the importance of modelling behaviour to drive change, recognising the underestimated power of “Queenagers” (women 45+ with leadership and financial influence), and supporting women rising through the ranks. The conference emphasised cognitive diversity as essential for innovative problem-solving in today’s world. If you’re a manager, consider pursuing chartered status to enhance your skills and connect with influential leaders. Join me on this exciting learning journey!
Hyper-Humanism and Ultra-Digitalism: 3 Ways to Master the Balancing Act
As the workplace becomes increasingly digital, the need to humanize our work environments is more crucial than ever.
