Stop – Start – Continue

I am not one for looking back.  I can’t even read a book twice in most cases.  I have ‘Futuristic’ in my Strength set, so I am all about looking to the future and moving towards it.  But there are times when looking back has its place, especially at the beginning of a year. At…

Find your WHY to find your WAY

I was having an early morning “one on one” with a colleague last week in one of my usual busy café haunts where many like-minded business people congregate to start their day with a spirit of optimism and good coffee. We touched upon the usual many topics, particularly in the areas relating to his new enterprise which specialises…

Choosing Your Destination

Choosing your Destination.   Once a colleague and I were traveling back from a meeting in the Midlands of KwaZulu-Natal. I was driving and, after pulling over to take a call, I took the wrong onramp to the highway. My colleague and I had been chatting away for about an hour when we suddenly realised…
