In 2012 I ran the Dublin marathon, it took a lot of hard work, focus and commitment and that was just the training! In preparation, as someone who didn’t run regularly, I had to decide what shoes to get and as always I had more fun choosing the shoes than necessarily running in them! I tried a few different brands before I came across ASICS - a […]

For the last 15 years I’ve had the privilege of coaching leaders and managers often to help with improving their performance which inevitably includes looking at how they communicate. In the day(s) that I coach a group of leaders I have to be at my best, fully present, fully focused, fully energised. I literally bring the energy for […]

As I've been getting some r&r time on holiday in Ireland I've found myself reflecting on the whole topic of leadership, my experiences as one at Inpulse and working with many in the corporate, charity and faith sectors over the last two decades. Over the next month I will be sharing a nugget from these reflections each week, so here is my first little nugget for you to ponder and see what […]

It’s a well-known fact that for most people, the thought of change can be an alarming prospect that’s best avoided. The reality of change is often very different, and in many cases, turns out to be an improvement; but the instinct I’ve found over years of working with companies going through change is that most […]

Employee engagement is a concept that can make a significant contribution to business success, yet in many ways, is still poorly understood and unappreciated. Sending round an annual employee survey might have been considered sufficient in previous generations, but there’s far more to employee engagement than asking everyone to fill in a questionnaire once a […]

In many ways, engaged and motivated employees are the foundation of a successful business. When your team share your vision, are committed to the company’s values and are working towards the same mission, it’s much easier for management to steer the ship in the right direction.

It has been a real privilege to be part of helping to establish employee pulse surveys as a key element of a company’s approach to listening to their employees and gathering opinions. The topics can range from a company’s culture to the company’s results. Simplicity is key! That’s why I get a little warm glow every time a prospective or existing client comments on the simplicity of Inpulse. We want to make it easy and […]

‘Annual performance review’ -three words that frequently strike terror into the hearts of team leaders and team members alike. For the former they represent endless form filling and back to back awkward conversations in stuffy rooms.
