Overcoming Imposter Syndrome
How to overcome “Imposter Syndrome”
“While we may intuitively feel we understand the idea of imposter syndrome, a recent review of research from 1966 onward suggests otherwise. Not only is there little clarity regarding its definition, but there is also limited clinical guidance on either diagnosis or treatment”
Why Organisational Change Fails
10 REASONS WHY ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE FAILS
“Avoiding these ten pitfalls doesn’t guarantee success, but it will vastly increase its likelihood. The winning starts with clearly defining the case for change and ends with an effective effort to build the new competencies the organization needs.”
The Impact of Seeing Yourself on Zoom
Staring at Yourself on Zoom
“Thinking of yourself as an object can lead to changes in a person’s behavior and physical awareness, and has also been shown to negatively affect mental health in a number of ways. While these experiences with self-objectification lead both women and men to focus on their appearance, women tend to face many more negative consequences.”
Praise & Recognition
Why You Need to Understand the Difference Between Praise & Employee Recognition
“Why is recognition so valuable to workers? Because employees appreciate receiving insightful feedback after working hard. Employees need recognition to understand the purpose of what they do; recognition helps them see how their work contributes to the overall success of the company and/or project.”
Creating a Culture of Recognition
“From a very early age, we crave recognition from parents, teachers and friends. So strong is our desire for positive affirmation, particularly during developmental periods, that we can even perceive a neutral reaction as a negative one.”
The Change Curve
What is the “change curve”?
“It’s a useful tool for managers and leaders to use when they are supporting staff through a significant change, such as mergers or restructures. It can also be used on a one-to-one level when staff are working through a difficult transition or change.”

Organized around a simple metaphor of a dipper and a bucket, How Full is Your Bucket? shows how even the smallest interactions we have with others every day profoundly affect our relationships, productivity, health, and longevity.”
