Awesome FREE Development Resources

Developing your personal and professional skills are fundamental to surviving and thriving at work.  You might disagree with me here, but the way I see it, if you don’t continue to raise your “standard” it’s logical to assume you’ll remain where you are.

Make sense?

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves – Viktor E Frankl

The fact is that personal development stretches our capabilities.  It expands our outlook to see things that were previously outside our view.  It gives us confidence in ourselves and our abilities.  It removes the ceiling on what we previously assumed was our limits, so we can view exactly what we’re able to achieve. read more

Happy Monday #47

Well, it’s the Monday after the week of “The Dress” (blue & black or white & gold?  Let me know!) and life is starting to get back to normal.  I suppose you could say it’s week 1 AD… After the Dress.

Burrum bum… I’m here until Thursday folks.  Try the steak!

So, what kind of Monday are you having?  Where I am, the sun is shining and the sky is blue.  Happy days!

But it’s not a Happy Monday for everyone.  In fact, it’s amazing how many people I know have been dreading today all weekend.  Dreading it because they don’t want to go back to work, don’t like their jobs or don’t enjoy what they do. read more

Survive at Work Book Review, resources to thrive at work, survive at work - promotion, career success, leadership

Mindset

 
Over the past few weeks I’ve been dipping in and out of the most awesome book, which I just have to share with you.
 
Seriously, if you want to achieve growth and success in any part of your life – including your career – then you need to check out this book.
 

Mindset: How you can Fulfil your Potential

 
Looking at the title, you might be thinking this is one of “those” pithy self-help books. But it’s not.  Far from it.
 
I’d actually go so far to say that, for some people, the content of this book could change their life.
 
Written by Professor Carol Dweck – a psychologist at Standford University – the theory in this book was developed and demonstrated over years of intensive research.

Happy Monday #46

Good morning!
 
I hope you all had an excellent weekend and are raring to go forth and be awesome this week.
 
I won’t bore you today with tales of my weekend, but suffice to say me and the dog went walking again.  This time I took a photograph for you.  It’s a tad dark, but I hope you like it:

Happy Monday #46

 
This week I’m sharing an awesome video by one of America’s most affluent businessmen, Art Williams.

  • If you’re lacking motivation this morning, you need to listen to this speech.
  • If you aren’t happy with what you’re going to be doing for a living this week, you need to listen to this speech.
  • If you need to change your approach or strengthen your focus, you need to listen to this speech.

(I think we can all agree that I think everyone needs to listen to this speech 😉 )
 

 
 
This week, don’t bask in “almost”.  Be a winner… and just do it.

Happy Monday #45

Hello and Happy Monday to you all!

I hope that all of you who were celebrating had a wonderful valentine’s weekend.

So, are you all raring to go today?  I’m on my 4th cup of strong black Carte Noire, so I think it’s safe to say that I am 😉

This time last year, I’d be dreading a Monday morning.  I’d stay up as late as I could on a Sunday, just to eke out the weekend.  But now I absolutely love a Monday – every week it’s my fresh new start and an opportunity to own all those challenges out there 😀 read more
