"What have you learned about people?" asked Matt Griggs at my Nature of Success development measure in the Maldives this year. It is one of the questions we are asked to contemplate after the daily workshops. What a question for me, with my degree in psychology, 30 years of experience as a consultant, 25 years as a [...]
"What have you learned? How do you grow?" is what Matt Griggs likes to ask in his workshops and coaching sessions. This time was no exception, as I found myself on the Nature of Success "Next Level" tour "Let's Go Deeper" in the Maldives with nine other hand-picked participants and Taylor Knox. The condition for [...]
"What topic do you think I should tackle next?" my coachee Alex asked the other day at the beginning of our session. Alex has held a leadership position in a medium-sized company for four years.
