So what is quiet quitting? Have you ever had an employee who use to deliver outstanding quality to later find that one day they do the minimum, do their job, but no longer show the energy, passion and drive they once use to. They do not quit the job but they dial back their efforts and do the bare minimum. They do the basic minimum job to a point where you can not fire them for poor performance because they are not doing anything badly, or wrong, but they no longer go above a

You may ask yourself why a management development coach is writing about electricity. I often use electricity, well at least the terminology of electricity, when coaching and guiding others. I liken electricity to the emotions of a person. Just as you can not see electricity, you can not see the emotions of a person. We can tell if there is electricity as the lights will come on or the kettle will boil, just as we can see if a person is affected by an emotional issue by chang

I was fortunate enough to share an office with a senior leader for a client I was partnering with and as is always the case when I am available to others, this leader decided to engage in many micro coaching sessions. He was not only seeking personal development, but also wanted to share ideas and concepts with me as a form of re affirming his ideas would work. During one of our micro coaching sessions, we were interrupted by another senior leader within the company. They wer

Being a life and business coach is about helping others overcome their limiting beliefs and guiding them to deliver to their full potential. Having coached for the past 18 years, I have experienced some extreme cases of limiting beliefs where the person is so full of doubt that it has restricted and limited, not only their professional career, but their personal relationships. Being a great leader and being successful in life is about you being you. We all have natural tenden

I often coach potential great leaders only to hear of their controlling bosses who perhaps fear their jobs because of the great qualities of their people. Old school leaders often fear their jobs when they are surrounded by intelligent people who have a willingness, and passion to help their boss, and the company succeed. The trouble is the boss sees this as a threat and not an opportunity. The boss chooses to micro manage their people as a controlling measure to secure their

Air Niugini is taking their growth and development to new heights with heavy investment in a number of critical areas. Not only are they investing in a fleet of new aircraft (Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Airbus 320’s and Bombardier Q400’s), they are also heavily investing in their people and the future leaders of the airline. ( https://www.facebook.com/search/posts/?q=boeing ) Under their CEO, Gary Seddon, the airline committed to developing 70 of the top leaders in the RdL Emergin

Harmony is the largest gold producer by volume in South Africa and owns and operates the Hidden Valley mine in Papua New Guinea. Over a 14 month period, Harmony invested in several of their key leaders to drive personal growth, leadership development, cultural change and of course financial returns. In May, the program concluded with the graduation ceremony taking place on site, attended by other leadership members and Gary Davies, Executive General Manager – Mining and Techn

As an executive and life coach I am often exposed to people who suffer from a low sense of personal worth. Self-esteem is your subjective sense of overall personal worth or value and it describes your level of confidence in your abilities and attributes. There are 5 Key components of self-esteem: Feelings of security : I know I am safe; Identity : I know who I am; Sense of belonging : I know others accept me; Self confidence – Purpose : I know what I want to achieve; Feeli

Air Niugini is Papua New Guinea’s national airline, and it is hoped with the work that RdL has planned with them, combined with the solid commitment of Gary Seddon, the Board, and the leadership team, it will soon be recognised as one of the leading airlines in the Pacific Region. RdL has been awarded an opportunity to make a difference to the team at Air Niugini through the development and facilitation of two significant programs. Firstly RdL will embark on launching the Eme

RdL is committed to developing existing and future leaders. After a 12 month journey, 7 of the senior leaders at Harmony’s Hidden Valley mine site graduated from the Emerging Leader Program. This program was unique in that we implemented various methods of learning to deliver an outcome that saw some of the graduates grow significantly as leaders. This program was a combination of classroom facilitation, Masterclasses, On the Job coaching and video coaching. Congratulations t

Delivering profits cannot be achieved without the dedicated efforts of your people. The best machines, technology, tools, or equipment, without people, deliver very little. To get the most out of your people, you need an amazing CEO/Leader that stays in touch with what is happening in the real world of their business. They stay connected with their people and see this as an investment and not a cost, challenge, or distraction. Many CEO’s have not only lost touch with their pe

Coaching an elite athlete is all about having the athlete at their peak in the finals. Too early or too late and they fail. But what is the one thing every elite athlete does following a high-profile competition? – they choose to recover. Pushing yourself to your limits on an ongoing basis will only leave you exhausted and potentially lead to burnout. Work hard, but also take the time to recharge. Following an Olympic competition or the finals of a football competition the at
