As a CEO, for me, there were a few top lessons that I learned over a 10-year period that actually I wish I'd known the day I started. Just reflecting on them now, they seem so simple but I just didn’t have a grip on them on my first day as CEO. In fact, it’s […]

Tell us your story and what brought you to coaching? My professional, and in part personal, story up to five years ago was that “unless I am a CEO of a multimillion or even billion $ company then I, and my career, are not a success”. This at times served me well and at other […]
“What’s next?” tends to be the question on everyone’s lips during a company takeover. New ownership often brings new promises, new ideas and new ways of doing things.
