The Emotionally Intelligent Leader
Is that you? Leadership is changing fast. And emotional intelligence is climbing to the top of desired leadership abilities. The ability to relate to others, to "get people", to see people, to value others, to take care of how we impact others, to connect with people...
Thoughts on Sustainability
Since early 2011, I've been studying for an MBA (Master of Business Administration). Interesting and exciting. And what makes the MBA particularly rewarding and exciting for me, is that it's got an additional focus on "Leadership and Sustainability". Sustainability is...
The challenges a leader faces
To be a leader can be both rewarding and frustrating. I remember becoming a leader of a team 22 years ago, my very first leadership role, with no leadership experience and very little understanding of what was expected of me. There are very few “born” leaders, if any!...
The creative process of writing a book
I've written a book together with a friend/colleague of mine, Mandy Flint. Mandy and I have worked together for many years, since 1997 in fact, first at American Express and then as owners of our own companies, finding projects to collaborate on now and then. One day...
Inspiration from a 100-year old
100 years ago, in 1912, the summer Olympics were held in Stockholm, Sweden. On Sunday the 14th of July 1912 the Olympic Marathon was run with 69 participants. It was a hot day and many runners suffered from the heat, only half of them completed the race. One of the 34...

And that's just what they'll do! In my effort to train for a 10K race, I am learning new things every day. My latest fascination in the whole world of running is all the different shoes available. Yes, I realize that this is probably pretty obvious, but I just hadn't...
Slowly building a new self image
A self image, the way we look at ourself, is a powerful thing. Whatever we believe ourself to be, with conviction, then that is what we are. Sometimes, if it’s a strong, positive self image, it would work in our favour. But if it’s a limiting self image, one that...
The seduction of the setback
After much excitement of starting my journey towards being able to run 10K, I had a setback. One of those typical, annoying ones - I got a cold! Sore throat, runny nose, heavy head - there was just no way I could or should run. So I had to pause my running (mainly...
Run now!
My app has guided me through a successful first running/training session! It’s a beautiful morning and with the extra support of some good trance tracks (thank you Rich!), I had a very enjoyable fast walk (with some short running intervals) of about 40 minutes. So...
