Moving Through Our World. My audience is business leaders, owners, directors and managers. Having led several thousand coaching 1to1s and hundreds of full-day meetings, I have identified 6 principal characters. These characters cross all the demographics--gender, age, political or religious affiliation or sexual preference—and they are everywhere. Here are my 6: 1. Even under calm conditions in a pairing or in the wider group…see my post for the full narrative. Cheers, Jeff Bell.  #leadership #strategy #change #leadershipdevelopment

Andrew Cornejo, Vigorous Limbo and BOLA. What has been the process for taking a research topic to commercialisation? What is the future of decarbonisation and the prospects for hydrogen? Where is the next phase likely to be? These were some of the questions put to Dr Andrew Cornejo when he led a conversation for Band of Leaders Australia (BOLA) members and guests entitled Vigorous Limbo, at…see my post for the full narrative.

Finding Stillness in Noise. When the noise level becomes overwhelming, yet again, we will be desperate for relief—make it stop! or let’s get out of here! Leading a business is never easy and that noise can come from any direction, at any time: the financials aren’t what they should be; customers’ expectations become unreasonable; the staff are proving impossible to lead; the law is working…see my post for the full narrative.

Our Personal Triple Bottom Line. We may be using the triple bottom line (TBL) in our business—standing for social, economic and environmental outcomes or "people, planet, profits". It was devised in 1994 by John Elkington, of the management consultancy SustainAbility, when working for Shell in the Netherlands. People means fair and beneficial business practices toward staff; where the well-being of the company is interdependent with its…see my post for the full narrative.

Kevin Inkster, Innovation Leadership and BOLA. In an oversupplied mass market, how do we find our niche? How can we simultaneously be the innovator of product and the leader of people? How do we inspire people to stay with us on the long journey of product development? These were some of the questions put to Kevin Inkster, Executive Chairman of Arbortech Industries in Malaga. Kevin led…see my post for the full narrative.

How to Build Confidence. When leading our own business, we are always on the edge. There is so much at stake. Business ownership has its own special highs and lows, and one of the chief challenges is inspiring those working in the business, to care as much about its welfare and future as we do. Our striving for this may be inspiration for some people yet…see my post for the full narrative.

Our Self-Limiting Beliefs. There are many reasons that we may perceive our potential is limited. We may grow up in a racial, political or religious minority. By definition, most opportunities will probably have gone to the members of the majority culture and we are subject to conscious or sub-conscious bias. We may have been raised in impoverished surroundings. We may experience persistent gender and/or age-related bias…see my post for the full narrative.

The Burden of Expectation. Many of us, attracted to the possibility of high profile success, will be wrapped up in the excitement. As a spectator, a follower, a club member, we will develop an expectation for the outcome, tracking it through the highs and lows until the goal is achieved. For some of us it will be the thrill of the ride, regardless. For others, the anticipation…see my post for the full narrative.
