Mentor-Coach Conversation | New to a role? It is difficult to recover from a poor start. A more strategic and integrated approach means a new leader can avoid these typical mistakes.

LEADERSHIP, PERSPECTIVE and POWER

Mentor-Coach Conversation | It is important how leaders perceive and use their power. People do not ‘have’ power as it is both conditional and situational. It depends on context, relationship, timing and dynamics. Empathetic, ethical and purposeful uses of power is what makes a better leader.

ADVANCING WOMEN IS NOT RISKY BUSINESS

Mentor-Coach Conversation | Advancing women at Australian corporates should not be risky business.

CONFLICT, EMPATHY AND OPPORTUNITY

Mentor-Coach Conversation | Unaddressed conflict takes on a life of its own, with sides emerging, focus diverted, wrong fights battled and the pushing of competitive bias. In high-trust cultures, people may debate rigorously, but they commit to the best overall future. Constructing the right degree of tension is the challenge.
