I’m a leader, not a personal counsellor

Emotions and business have been kept separate for many many years. Traditionally, business leaders have been taught that emotions are for outside of the office walls and when we enter into the workplace they are to be tucked away and dealt with when the employee returns home.

It’s brought to my attention regularly at the moment, both through my own experiences and through those of my clients, that we commonly struggle to create real change in our lives.

At the start of a new year I ask clients to review what their learnings were from the last year and make commitments to what they will do differently this year.

Much of the learning that takes place in our lives we don’t even think about.

Over the last 18 months, mental fitness has been top of the priority list for many businesses. Rightly so.
