Good podcast partner Reelika Jeferjev got me thinking recently in a comment on one of my previous posts. She shared her observation that conscience can be a double-edged sword.

During the weekend training, one participant asked that he was having a hard time remembering things lately. So what to do? I told him a story: A few years ago, I went to a therapists’ conference for the first time. Over a hundred people. Lots of talk, lots of stories from different countries, people, cases.

As it is customary in Estonia, Midsummer and Christmas are the 2 dates by which everything should be settled and in order – including strategies and goals. Just as around 70% of changes fail to work, around the same proportion of strategies do not materialise, according to various studies. No, it’s not about knowledge, action
Why do 70% of strategies and changes fail? Read More »
Most leadership debates revolve around the same themes: motivation, accountability, performance, commitment, change management, relationships, effectiveness, strategy – in other words, leading the lives of others.
