Hi. Ever since I found myself working in a toxic culture, led by someone who was known behind their back as “The Tyrant,” I’ve felt a need to do what I can to help people’s experience of workplaces be more fulfilling than demoralising. I started by changing career: from management accountant to being a leadership coach, mentor, critical friend, sounding board, speech writer, or any other role that would help my clients. Over the last 37 years I’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of leaders and see myself as a student of what works and what doesn’t for them. Nowadays I write about this. I focus especially on the role self-talk plays in determining the actions we take and what follows. I look at team talk too, because, quite simply, I’ve seen how progress is made, and sustained when its positive impacts are felt in the conversation we have with ourselves and others.
