It is easy to assume that people who have achieved great expertise and success must have ‘natural talent’. But while it is not always mentioned, when you look into it, they have all put in their hours of practice. Many many hours of practice. How much practice time are you giving your people? How much…

Being surprised is rarely a good thing in business. One of the reasons Big Data has quickly become the darling of business is because its insights help diminish the likelihood of surprises. The game-changing nature of Big Data analysis is that it enables businesses to leverage what they’ve learned about themselves to develop more accurate models and forecasts and to then monitor their performance in a near-real-time mode.
One of my passions is to help HR professionals see how they…

I first heard this term six years ago at networking event. I could kick myself now for not really understanding the power it holds and engaging with it to an enormous advantage.
Firstly, what is a LION? It stands for LinkedIn Open Networker, and means you are open to accepting connections or invites from any one.…

Have you ever received a gift that changed your life? I have. On Christmas day 1968 when my grandparents gave me an Adams Magic Set. On that day I ripped open the large, mysterious package and began practising a craft that has changed how I see the world, created great joy, helped change lives, and produced income. Chances are I would never have been blessed by that gift if it weren’t for the magic of mentoring.
Many children, between the age of 7 and 12 are given a magic set. Most…

For the uninitiated, a one-on-one occurs, most commonly, when a consultant meets with their direct manager to have a 'closed door' discussion about the progress being made against agreed targets.
The most common foundation for these discussions is the KPI Report (or Activity Report). This report details what key activities have been completed in the most recent reporting period (typically a week) and what activities are scheduled for the current or next period. A discussion of…

Actions speak louder than words. Many businesses have a set of values but they are often seen as irrelevant and even a source of disgust by staff. This is because they don’t see the connection between the stated Values and behaviour of senior management. For example; I know of one business where ‘Professionalism’ and ‘Respect’ were Values that the MD wanted people to live up to and yet he would sometimes demand that certain staff were to be ‘got rid of’ because he didn’t like them or felt…

Some adults went throughout their young lives being in fear of going to school. They were not intimidated by the pressures of the teachers or the abundance of work, they were in fear of the school bullies. They are so eager to get out into the workplace and begin their normal lives as adults. Years later in their career, they are overcome by the same feelings of anxiety and fear that they felt when they were in grammar school. Then their worst fears are confirmed, the bullies are not just…

A strong organisational culture is said to exist when staff identify strongly with their organisation. Where a strong culture exists, people respond to situations and conduct business in a consistent and coherent manner owing to their alignment to the organisation’s values. It has been consistently found that a strong culture is a predictor of organisational success, with corporate culture having been found to be a strong predictor of financial performance. So why is it often so difficult to…

Every relationship has a purpose but all too often it is unspoken, undefined and ambiguous. When things are going well we naturally assume that our purpose is aligned and there is a good mutual understanding. However, this allows many interpretations and both parties may have completely differing views and expectations of the relationship.
When a shift of personal priorities or external pressure begins to affect the relationship things can become fraught, especially if there is a…

One of the topics I frequently return to is the risk assessment aspect of a recruiter's job, or the 'defensive' recruitment skills, such as background and reference checking, that are a necessary part of doing a complete job as a recruiter. Unfortunately, there is still an undesirable tendency for these skills to be deemed an 'admin' part of a recruiter's job.
So it was…

The abolition of the requirement for employers with 30 or more employees to have a WHSO was part of the harmonisation of Workplace Health and Safety legislation in Queensland. This raised the issue for many employers ‘who will look after workplace health and safety now?’
