Work Pressure Vs Work Stress

“The ability to understand people is one of the greatest assets anyone can ever have. It has the potential to positively impact every area of your life, not just the business arena.” John C. Maxwell
Body language is very difficult to read accurately. Nonverbal cues are complex and depend heavily on context. This article from the British Psychologist Society challenges popular misconceptions about nonverbal communication.

The Pitfalls of Perspective

Investing in leadership development works because it’s a strategic investment that yields returns on multiple levels. It empowers individuals, strengthens teams, and optimises organisational performance. It’s not just about training; it’s about creating a culture of continuous learning and growth, equipping leaders to navigate the complexities of today’s business landscape and drive success for the future. Deloitte Global Human Capital Trends 2023, found that organisations with robust leadership development programs report 10% higher employee engagement and 14% higher profitability.

Participant Feedback - 2023

Emotional Intelligence in the Role of a Partner

While traditional metrics like IQ have long been heralded as critical indicators of success, there is a growing recognition that emotional intelligence (EQ) is just as vital, if not more so.
