Accountability Tools

By | September 26th, 2017|Change, Coaching, Productivity, Self-Awareness|

It can take a lot to achieve a goal and sometimes we need support to hold ourselves accountable. There are plenty of resources that talk about apps and mindset, advising you to measure progress and manage your energy not your time, great I love all of those, but this is really focusing on practical accountability support. If you’re already clear about why you want to achieve, a specific goal and have a good understanding of what the benefits of achieving it are, here is something that might help. I’m focusing here on three areas: technology, internal tools that relate [...]

I imagine a world in which business solves today’s problems. So that...

Manifesto

When I think about how the world is today, all the strife, the pain, distrust among us... The powers that be seem unable to make a difference. Attempts to address the problems seem absent. It's easy to feel sad, and even despair. I imagine a different world is possible. Business could occupy a very different space in society. There are lots of stereotypes about business and generalising about what it stands for. Currently, people don’t think of business as a place to get impartial advice or help. It’s seen as serving its own interests and willing to screw people [...]
