A process to pin down the problem
We so often have thorny, tricky and challenging problems in work. So, what's the best way to go about solving them? Talk it out and transfer it from from inside your mind where it's huge, jumbled and complex. Moving from thoughts to words helps the mind think...
Quietly Visible with me, Nia Thomas!
One of the Delphic maxims (engraved on the sacred temple of Apollo at Delphi in Greece), and probably the most well know is “Know Thyself”. There are many interpretations, but you could say in a nutshell that it is about reflecting and developing a greater understanding/awareness of who you are, could be and/or who you ought to be, and in turn an awareness of others and your relationship towards them and they to you. Throughout her career, Dr Nia Thomas, has been interested in the working relationship: the dynamics between people and the impact both good and bad relationships have on individuals and their ability to effectively deliver their work. This led her to develop an interest in self-awareness, leader effectiveness and leadership at all levels which became the focus of her doctoral research. In this episode she discusses the experiences which led to her interest in self-awareness, leader effectiveness and leadership at all levels. She further talks about the 3 layers she sees as embodying self-awareness – reflection, recognition and regulation and touches on the difference between someone who just manages (the focus is on their technical skills) and others who manage but have self-awareness (whether it is inherent or one of the skills they have developed).

BOOK REVIEW: Jerks at Work, Tessa West
I read this book because I was looking for someone. And I found them. In chapters 1, 2 and 7! The book starts with a questionnaire. This is not for the feint hearted. It's not your average Good Housekeeping multiple choice questionnaire that'll tell you if you should...
