The Power of SSC: Stop, Start, Continue
Having used the Stop, Start, Continue (SSC) framework numerous times in the corporate world, I’ve seen firsthand its effectiveness in driving reflection and improvement within organisations.

Foot in Mouth Syndrome
We’ve all been there. You’re at a party, a work function, or just chatting with friends when suddenly, the words that tumble out of your mouth seem to have taken a wrong turn.

Easy to give in, hard to keep going!
I have little doubt, that if you have put some effort into something, that the feeling of wanting to give up has crossed your mind. It has mine, plenty of times. Just wanting to throw in the towel when things get tough, is a thought that many of us think. Especially when we feel life […]
