Bullying – It really is never okay. I was reading the newspaper the other day – not something I usually do, as I often turn straight to the puzzle page – and was sad to read yet another account of bullying in schools. Having been on the receiving end of bullying during my school years,Continue reading “Shifting the Culture: Creating Safe and Respectful Work Environments”

Can you really multitask?
Do believe you can do two, or more, things at once? It might look like we can multitask and do everything at the same time, but our brain flicks from one task to the other, so nothing really gets our full attention. Often we get away with it, but sometimes we don’t …
Older and wiser: learning from those who have done it before
Older and wiser: learning from those who have done it before. There is lots of value in someone the older they get, but in our society, we don’t always value our elders. When does someone become too old to be useful? When does Google (and other similar avenues) provide better information than lived experience?
Living in harmony: conflict, consideration and choices
Conflict. Some people revel in it … they like the challenge of the debate, the different views, beliefs, and thoughts … they can’t wait to bring you over to their viewpoint. Even if they don’t succeed, they enjoy the attempt. Others will do almost anything to avoid it. But what happens when conflict becomes unhealthy?
How doing something positive helps us navigate change
The world is changing … How often do we hear this said? Often with some trepidation or as if it is something that has never happened before. Change can be good, bad, big or small, and sometimes we need help to navigate it…
Fatigue
There are different types of tired and different things that cause it. Sometimes, it’s pure physical exhaustion, maybe its mental exhaustion, or work-related fatigue. What can we do? How do we break that cycle of fatigue, regardless of why it is happening?

Have you made a list of resolutions for the new year? Maybe you have adopted a ‘word of the year’ to guide your actions in 2022.
It’s so easy to get caught up in the pursuit of happiness that we forget to actually see life as an expression of happiness …
Freedom
There has been much talk recently about freedom. We’ve seen unrest, anger, and anguish about our freedom being taken away. Our freedom to move around at will, our freedom to travel, our freedom to be without masks … One can argue that people have a right to be free, a right to rebel, a rightContinue reading “Freedom”
Leap of Faith
You often hear people talking about taking a leap of faith. Whilst traditionally it has referred largely to a religious leap, it can mean different things to different people – we are after all intrinsically, exquisitely unique … it is one of the things that makes this world such an interesting place. Oxford Languages explainsContinue reading “Leap of Faith”
Borders
I have always longed for a world without borders. A world where people may travel freely, wherever they wish to go. Where your ability to travel is not determined by your nationality or where you happened to be born. Yes, I know it’s idealistic … I have been told … but still … Now ofContinue reading “Borders”
