    Most of us seek out and follow leaders that we consider "authentic". It is one of the traits most recognised in high performing leaders and much has been said about its value in building trust, transparency and openness. Indeed, whether you like the persons ideologies or not, they are still recognised for their leadership skill. ...

  • Why People Leave? (hint* it IS about the money!)

    We've heard time and again that people don't leave because of money. We've also heard that money is a hygiene factor and not a motivator (i.e. not enough will make people leave, but its presence will not attract).  Employee surveys put money below job satisfaction, empowerment, opportunity and culture, when ranking why they are engaged ...

    I was never a morning person. I studied and later worked all day, with my team training set after everyone finished work, usually around 20:00 and lasting 2 hours. I then got home, ate and usually caught up with studies (I continued to study even after I started working). Bed time usually meant around midnight, ...

    We all spend 27% of our working lives at work. So why shouldn‘t it be fun? Or if not fun at least entertaining. The vast majority of us like a good laugh, laughter releases tension and creates a bond with the people we are sharing a funny moment with. In the words of the superb comedian Victor ...

    In a previous post I talked about the futility of attempting to achieve work-life balance through a measurement of time, (see The Work-Life Balance Illusion) because this often just results in the frustration of not giving enough time to either. This lose-lose can be turned into a win-win if we measure quality and focus on purpose, ...

    The festive season is over and while some of us are still recovering from the holidays and celebrations, we have a blank canvas of events to design over the next 12 months. Why so early ? Research shows that when events are planned in advance, it helps achieve the goals you've set for the year ahead ...

    It's that time of year again. New Year's resolutions for all the things we have procrastinated, avoided, run away from or just couldn't be bothered to make time for. Getting fit, stopping smoking, cutting down on sugars or alcohol are your typical personal goals, with taking that course, learning a new skill, going for that ...

  • The Neuroscience of Innovation – By the UP Academy

    By Daphne Grech Cumbo Monday, June 6, 2016 0 Business Development, Events, Personal Development, Tips & Tricks executive development Permalink 0

    Wouldn’t we all like to be the next Steve Jobs, or create a world-changing product or invention? However we often label ourselves as non-creative people or limit our potential because we don’t know where to start going about innovation. According to Simon Clarkson, creativity is within us all, and through a number of learnt tools, ...

  • To Grow or Not, is a Mindset

    As a young chief executive at 26, I signed up to read an MBA, thinking that the toolkit I would develop from the Masters degree would be enough to grow into a competent leader within an organisation. How wrong I was! If anything, studying opened up my eyes to how much there was to learn, and not even ...
