Welcome to my ruminations
Trust and empathy are two of the biggest things to “bring to the table”. This is especially so when exploring opportunities to improve. When debriefing – asking what went well … and what did not go so well. Trust, layered with respect and supported by confidentiality, is a mainstay of “good cultures”. Facilitating the “ruminate… Read More
Like many, I have taken some time out over the last few weeks to relax and reflect on the last year. I enjoyed relaxing by immersing myself in the distraction of cricket.
