Professionalism Definition: What’s your definition of professionalism? A dictionary defines it in the words below. Mine is way more and than the attributes of a sector or the way I earn my living. My definition is about loving what I do and all of that it encompasses. “1: the conduct, aims, or qualities that characterize or mark […]
This is the definition of professionalism by Oxford Dictionaries “The competence or skill expected of a professional. ‘the key to quality and efficiency is professionalism’” When I was in my 20s I really wanted to be seen as professional. And I struggled with it so much because I didn’t seem to understand the rules and […]
Work Environment Bristol: What I notice here is the sheer diversity of work environments available in this city. Based on the traditions of trading and banking, Bristol is a very wealthy city, not merely in fiscal terms but also in the richness of ideas and creativity. With the media consistently telling us this is THE […]
I like the following work environment quote. What it does for me is enable me to know that, whatever my next career move is (& believe me I have made a few!), I am not alone. “In the startup work environment, you get to have a relationship with your boss, the investors, and the key […]

I forget that it is both wider and also smaller in my internal landscape. It’s wider in that we are each a tiny part […]
I am noticing increasingly in the career coaching work I do is just how very depleted each client is when they show up here. It seems it is easy to forget to attend to our internal work environment. We began two new coaching journeys yesterday: Take two very different clients of different genders and industry […]
Leadership Coach Bristol: If you find yourself looking at another person or organisation and thinking, “…but why don’t they just do that?” Then you have just identified a skill that you do have, that ‘they’ do not. If you find yourself thinking this more often than not, then you might just have identified your leadership […]
