Better For Your Being Here

The Unexpected
Contrary to what we often believe, people want more than what was expected. We consistently underrate, undervalue, and underutilise our humanity.
Perfect Timing
An ideal audience isn’t just one that’s available—it’s one that’s receptive. When we say something is just as important as how we say it.
A Question Of Choices
Our choices not only determine our priorities, plans and results—they are also clues about what matters to us.

We make more right moves when we stop to think how the next thing we’re about to take on aligns with our values, and if it’s helping us to get to where we ultimately want to go.
Soft Metrics
Hard data alone paint a two-dimensional picture of success. There’s nothing to stop us prioritising things we care about that can’t be reliably measured.

Shame About The Weather
Some people have no choice but to pay attention to the weather. Pilots, fishers and farmers must make allowances for the state of the atmosphere on any given day. But for most of us, the weather isn’t a problem, unless we believe and declare it to be. And yet, we allow our thoughts about the…

Stories do more than help us to tell and sell. Shared narratives are powerful catalysts for change and the building blocks of our culture.
The Myth Of Significance
