A Practical Look at Faith in Business
Faith is often avoided in business. It either sounds too religious for the boardroom or perceived as too impractical for strategy meetings. Yet every entrepreneur exercises faith. None of these come with guarantees. In a Return to Love, Marianne Williamson tells us that there is no such thing as a faithless person. The question isn’t…

Your Comfort Zone is Not the Enemy
I’m currently reading Choose Hard by MJ DeMarco. He reframed the comfort zone in a way that made me reconsider one of the most common ideas in personal and professional development.

Stop coasting – the leadership growth framework that keeps ego in check
One of the greatest risks in leadership is not incompetence. It’s believing you’ve already arrived. The moment we start overestimating our skills, experience, or understanding, growth begins to slow.

Never lose your student mindset
If I had the opportunity to start over, as in from primary, through secondary and then on to university, I’d be a much better student. I wouldn’t waste time complaining about things I can’t control – like teachers’ personalities, and homework and I’d focus more on learning and being more curious about subjects, even those…
