In this somewhat unusual session we talk about how an awareness of our eventual departure from this world can act as fuel for more focus in the present. We also look at the mourning process when a business relationship or entrepreneurial dream dies. No point being morbid about our mortality!

It is a challenge at times to give someone information - based on your experience - that will be perceived as truly useful, and will open a valued dialogue. It's also equally challenging sometimes to receive feedback, particularly when it activates some defensiveness or resistance in us. In this episode, we'll examine best practices on how to create better frameworks for sharing caring yet effective feedback.

We look at a common statement made while riding the London subway (or "Tube") as a metaphor for examine what it is that we don't see but others do. The "gap" often contains valuable information to support our growth and success that we can miss if we don't pay attention.

When I started my company - Business Culture Consultants - over twenty-two years ago people would ask me, "what do you mean by business culture?" No one asks me that anymore, however it's amazing how many different definitions there are. In this episode I offer my take on this complex construct, why it's so challenging to change, and how each of us can make a positive contribution to business culture. I hope you'll give it a listen!

How do we understand what it means to experience "transformation?" What are the factors that create and sustain it? How can we apply our understanding of and commitment to a life-long process of transforming how we engage with those around us and the world at large?

Finding fault with others (and sometimes ourselves) is an energy drain. In this podcast we look at the dynamics of blame, how it serves us - albeit in a dysfunctional way - and ways to move through it. Please let me know if you have any comments or questions!
