Do people still wear busyness like a badge of honour? Is multitasking still fashionable? I hear the word hustle everywhere I go these days. Same thing in my book. It’s a bit like nails on a chalkboard for me. Work harder. Do more. Be better. More. More. And yet more. Its unending and it is insatiable. […]
As I started writing the title to this post, I was merrily typing out the words “6 quick and easy ways to claim back your wellbeing”. As if by intuition, my pointing finger defiantly punched the backspace key. It doesn’t feel quick, and some of it is definitely not easy. Essential, Yes! Very Definitely ‘Yes’. […]
What enables some people to emerge from challenges with their lives recreated, and even strengthened, while others crumble in a crisis? This is such a vital question for anyone who is seeking a rewarding relationship with their career, leadership, loved ones, and life if general.
