Leadership Coaching Skills: Take care of yourself. The best leaders lead well because they know what it’s like to go ‘through it’. Those who have known loss, heartbreak, dark days or years, those who have turned to face the despair in their own lives in order to assimilate it and heal, these are the people […]
Career coach Education: Yesterday a valued colleague of mine said these word to me: “If you knew how to handle failure then you can do anything – the exams will only get you so far. Less anxious and less fear or failure and then the world is open to you.” […]
