Do you have a team of trusted partners who are feeding you the lines that you can build on or are they trying to trip you up to laugh at you rather than with you? 

Private investors continue to back one of Australia’s fastest-growing startups, aimed at breaking leadership bias and solving professional development budget constraints.

While AI coaching has the potential to augment certain aspects of coaching, it cannot fully replace the role of human coaches in providing personalised, empathetic and effective support to individuals.

While we might not like others’ behaviour towards us, should they really have such a big impact on our self-esteem and mood? After all, it is not other people’s responsibility to make us happy. It is our responsibility to make ourselves happy. 

We know what we want, but we don’t seem to know how to get it. To truly close the pay gap we need more representation across all levels of an organisation, from the top right down to those entry-level positions, and we need those women to be paid the same as their male counterparts. So how do we do that? 

In business and in life, we cannot be successful in isolation. We need team members, colleagues and support staff to help us achieve a goal. Even the star player on a football team cannot win the grand final on their own! 

The mission of TiE is to ‘foster entrepreneurship through mentoring, networking, education, funding and incubation’, while maintaining a focus on ‘giving back to the community’. Among the 1000+ attendees at the summit, I heard there were a few billionaires and many, many millionaires. But you wouldn’t know it, as they were all so humble and gracious.

This is what I observed and learned during my week in Singapore.

It wasn’t until later in the day, when I started receiving messages from my team, that I was prompted to relook at the email.

At Peeplcoach, our mission is to make leadership development, training and coaching accessible to all. Research has proven that coaching works and yet current cost models and processes are exclusionary. By their very nature they provide for the few while excluding the many.

At the end of July, we held Peeplcoach’s 2nd Annual Conference. And it is fair to say that there was a lot going on in the lead-up for Peeplcoach, for the team and for me personally. 

I recently got to meet the ‘accidental’ prime minister, Jacinda Ardern. And before anyone criticises me for being flippant, this is what Jacinda called herself. To receive a handwritten invitation to meet someone you admire so much is definitely a great start to the day.

At Peeplcoach we believe in equality, fairness and making leadership development accessible to all. All our programs have been created to meet participants’ needs and organisations’ learning and development budgets. 

When it comes to talent retention and career satisfaction, a number of themes have emerged over the last few years.

Why is psychological safety and mental wellbeing important – even critical – now?

Thank you. Two words, eight letters, that can make so much difference.

WTF! It may be an abbreviation that attempts to lessen the offensiveness of the words it stands for, but the expression ‘WTF’ is strong and emotive language that we, the team here at Peeplcoach, feel is called for when it comes to a particular issue.

December is a time to celebrate and congratulate. End-of-year parties around the world will highlight the contribution of individuals and teams.

Time is the great equaliser. No matter how much or little money you have. No matter how healthy or unhealthy you are. How tall, short or good looking you are. We all have the same number of minutes and seconds in a day.

‘Vestis virum facit’ (Erasmus, Adagia 3.1.60) is a saying coined by the 15th-century writer Erasmus. Today the quote is better recognised as ‘Clothes maketh the man’. It could perhaps be further refined to ‘Clothes maketh the person’.

As many of my friends and family can attest, I am not a sports fan! My lack of knowledge and interest is in fact shocking, given that I live in a state that has proclaimed public holidays to celebrate a horse race (Melbourne Cup Day) and a football game (AFL Grand Final). Though not my area of expertise, I do understand just how much influence the “stars” of the sporting world can wield.

Whether you are a for-profit, a not-for-profit, privately owned, publicly owned, a product or a service business, delivering value and return on investment to customers, stakeholders and shareholders is essential for long-term sustainability and success.

Great leaders have learnt the skills of prioritising and of balancing valuable resources. Implement some of the following tips to boost productivity and find some work–life balance.

Words often used to describe successful business leaders include extroverted, charismatic, confident, dominating, singled-minded, focused and opinionated. In varying psychometric assessments, they often appear as high D (dominant), high A (alpha), high E (extroverted) or high red (task orientated or driver). It’s interesting to note, many CEOs also have the same psychological profile as psychopaths.

At the beginning of Covid, individuals and organisations scrambled to put in place arrangements for working from home. Technology, space, noise, safety and communication rhythms were all issues. Now, three years later, we are trying to work out how we can manage going back to work.
