S2 E2 Coaching & Co-sourcing
Research tells that 45% of people fail to keep their resolutions past February and only 19% keep them for 2 years. So, what’s the secret to keeping a resolution, how do we make change stick?
Well they say a problem shared is a problem halved and where we seek help, we are most likely to succeed. In health and fitness, we have long been exposed to the notion of a personal trainer and in business we are familiar with performance coaches.
The key to achieving the desired results is to measure against your targets on a regular basis and set those targets based on what we understand is possible. James Price outlines how Mirus helps organisations measure realistic targets. -

S1 E5 Since when did "HOPE" become a Strategy?
“Please put your hand up if you have a share trading strategy?”
It was 1996 and I was attending an investment seminar where the presenter asked the audience this very question. I did not put my hand up, but I watched as many in the room did.
“OK, keep your hand up if you can take a holiday, share with me your investment strategy and let me trade like you?”
I think only one person left their hand held high at this point. Read more: https://www.mirusaustralia.com/gear-change/hope-strategy/ -
S1 E4 Simplify, then add Lightness : UX
In my previous professional life, I helped design processes for a business from the ground up, from a blank sheet of paper if you like.
One of the designers in my team sought to build processes that were ‘elegantly simple’. In a sea of people who translated the value with complexity and confusion, it was a refreshing way to think and something that stuck with me for years.
