Create Workplace Wellbeing Programs

Sep 19 2017

There are some well-established studies that show that “wellbeing” in the workplace makes a lasting difference to the bottom line.

Apart from these studies, by university psych departments as well as business schools, it’s logical if you think about it. Employees who are uncomfortable at work, who carry problems into work and don’t find a release at work, logically are not as productive as happy, engaged employees.

Employees who are engaged at work – who identify with their teams and the company, who feel pride in theirs and the group’s achievements, work more productively. Unlike their disengaged, unhappy counterparts, they jump at the chance to contribute to something they believe in.

All workplaces try to create “wellbeing” in one form or other. Think of the Friday drinks. But workplace wellbeing, leading to solid employee engagement is more than just the regular social event.

How do you create a working wellbeing program?

Sep 12 2017

This blog post is entitled, “3 Secrets of Entrepreneurship”.

Really? Only three?

Well, yes! These are the top three things you must get right if you want to be a successful entrepreneur. They are the three key strategic issues because everything else comes and cascades from these three secrets. All the work you have to do is to ensure you get these three secrets right. I don’t care what kind of a business you own and operate, whether it sells products or services, whether it’s lifestyle or technical, whether it caters to men or women, whether it’s online or bricks and mortar, whether you’re a solopreneur or you do or intend to hire a huge team.

You have to get these three things right.

Quality Time At Work

Aug 29 2017

Ever gone home and thought: “what the #@%*& have I done all day?”

When you are running a business, it seems your day is not under your control. Customers need your attention, your team asks for your approval, suppliers email with problems, you open the mail and your bank account looks wrong. What do you do to get control back?

Getting quality time at work is really about focus, and a little bit of discipline. Getting control is about remembering that while you may not be in control of what happens on a day to day basis, in the sense that the results of any actions could go one way or another, you are certainly in control of what you do about it.

So, I have five systems you can implement in order to get that quality time at work, and I have created a downloadable infographic, and this video to show you how to put the system into place.

How To Implement Your Plan Successfully

Jun 06 2017

If you’ve been following my blog posts, you’ll have seen that I have given you systems to prepare your business plan, along with implementable tools and procedures to move from a compelling vision to actions.

Yet, I still get many questions about how you actually implement your plan successfully. People tell me that while they have followed my training and been able to create practical business plans, the difficulty is in keeping up momentum when they start to implement the plan.

In order to keep up the momentum weeks into the implementation, you need to be able to “see” where you are up to and what you have achieved. That way, you are able to gauge your success, adjust accordingly, and quickly understand what is your next step.

So what’s the secret? Read More

Begin With The End In Mind

May 16 2017

Do you wonder how some people seemingly rack up win after win, complete project after project, apparently unswayed by detail and interruption?

Have you watched these people achieve goal after goal exactly as they set out to do and wondered what their secret was?

It’s because they set out with a very clear objective, and vision of what the end looks like. Stephen Covey (The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People) called it his second habit “Begin with the end in mind.”

If you have a very clear picture of what the end should look like, it resolves so many problems along the way. If you know exactly what you want at the end, the answers to questions about detail like “who should be involved,” or “who do we hire out of these choices,” or “which option is the best” all become clear because you know exactly who you need in your team to put it together because of the skills you need; what type of person to hire to best suit the way it is to be managed at the end; and which option – despite the cost – best meets your objectives most efficiently.

A vision of the end not only sets the goals, but because you are so clear on what it looks like, also establishes the correct process of getting there, because anything that doesn’t or isn’t likely to get you to exactly the right place is out. Read More
