Dreams Worth Dreaming - Visions and Values
When your imagination is engaged, energy is released, ideas flood in and action becomes compelling - you become a vehicle for the manifestation of a Vision. So how do you find a compelling Vision? Releasing your imagination to roam free over the possibilities and potentials of something that captures your attention is often where Visions begin. A single individual ‘see’s’ how something could be better, different, more uplifting, more fun. It might arrive in your consciousness in a moment staring out a window, or in the face of an overwhelming problem, as an answer to a question arising inside of you, as a flash of inspiration - a seed.

The Very Real Value of Self Awareness
Self awareness has been said to be a profoundly important key to personal and organisational success.  Daniel Goleman is a leading authority on this subject and he found from research done in 1995 that emotional intelligence is twice as important as IQ and technical skills, and what’s more, the higher up an organisation’s hierarchy the more important our ‘EQ’ seems to be.

Challenging our ‘Sacred Cows’
‘Sacred cows’ are thoughts or people or customs that are usually unreasonably immune from criticism.  They are the ‘no go’ zones in families and organisations and cultures.  They are the things that can make us cringe when an ‘innocent’ questions or challenges or even raises them as a topic of discussion.

USING JUDGEMENT TO ACCELERATE GROWTH
