Mentee Reading | We remember moments and experiences - as individuals, employees and customers. Those that endure help us either connect, engage and belong or disconnect, distance, limit engagement. Experiences are important. Memories are important. Journeys and outcomes are important.

Communicate To Connect

Mentee Reading | Conversation is communal. The goal of any conversation is to connect. There is a very real human need to be included, to belong, to be heard, to share and to relate to experiences that resonate. There is strength in any conversation that enhances community and meaningful connections.

Lost Leaders

Mentee Reading | When life and work don’t go as planned, sometimes under challenging and confronting circumstances, there can be a painful sense of being unable to find the way. Rather than staying lost or being stuck in ‘not knowing’ or making mental mistakes about the future, look for that breakthrough.

New Kind of Business Leadership

Mentee Reading | As the business environment is transforming a new kind of business leadership is emerging. Contemporary organisations are seeking solutionists, activists, relationists, imperfectionists all with the curiosity and a mindset necessary for a fragmented, uncertain and non-linear future.

Storytellers and Powerful Stories

Mentee Reading | Powerful stories. Storytellers. Right story. What can storytelling do for you? Which stories do you need to tell, and how do you tell them? Do you worry about holding people's attention? Are you unsure where to start when faced with writing a report? Are you preparing for a discussion and wondering how to get all your points across? What are the four stories that form your narrative and how will you utilise them?

Strategy and Future Choices

Mentee Reading | What is strategy and why is it so difficult? This reading series will help answer these questions. Strategies are fundamentally about choice, difference and advantage. It is as much about deciding what not to do and being alert to signals or noise, as it is about what will be done. It incorporates a systems perspective, it is intent-focused, level shifting, opportunistic and timely.
