It has been brought to my attention in a few ways recently, that a missing element in what I have been doing is changing myself. In focusing on others, I have missed adapting to the new circumstances I find myself in as I take the next steps of my life.
Changing myself – a step in leading

Treat the symptom, NOW!
by Michelle Delebet on 02. Nov, 2011 in Blogs, Corporate Growing Pains, Michelle's Blogs, Risk Management
Whether it be medical science, veterinary science, business management or accounting, we regularly hear ‘fix the cause’. Yet an immediate intervention to treat the symptom is often helpful (perhaps even essential) before the cause can be effectively attended.
Guess who’s coming to dinner – the Power of Dialogue
by Geoff Barbaro on 10. Oct, 2011 in Blogs, Communication, Corporate Growing Pains, Geoff's Blog, International Business, Leadership, Values
I would love to set up the modern equivalent of an ancient concept – a space for dialogues that allow us to challenge our own concepts, create and define our real values and philosophies, and better understand the power of diversity. I would love to set up a Google+ circle that allows a number of excellent business thinkers and leaders to ask each other questions and respectfully listen to each other over months and years as we take the voyage of exploration through this complex world
Drawing a line
by Michelle Delebet on 10. Aug, 2011 in Blogs, Corporate Growing Pains, Leadership, Michelle's Blogs
When did you last draw a line in the sand? Maybe it’s time to rejuvenate a project by doing exactly that.
Encourage the Heart

What have you done to encourage the heart today? Have a conversation and shift some thoughts or views.
Social Media and the tumbling walls
by Geoff Barbaro on 16. May, 2011 in Blogs, Communication, Corporate Growing Pains, Geoff's Blog, Risk Management
For the last few weeks, I have been working with some people helping them develop a better understanding of social media.

When the unexpected isn’t
by Michelle Delebet on 08. Feb, 2011 in Blogs, Corporate Growing Pains, Environmental analysis, Issues and crisis, Latest News, Leadership, Michelle's Blogs, Risk Management, Strategy
Unplanned for doesn’t mean unexpected, it just means not planned for or not thought about. Much business press discussed recent severe weather as unexpected, but it isn’t. It’s to be very much expected. So how are you handling expected but irregular events?
Challenge the process
by Michelle Delebet on 04. Feb, 2011 in Blogs, Corporate Growing Pains, Leadership, Michelle's Blogs, Organisational Alignment
Challenging the process takes great courage, yet is essential to sustainable success. This story of mixed success reminds us there are many elements to consider when challenging the process.
A fun way to practice strategic thinking
by Geoff Barbaro on 24. Jan, 2011 in Blogs, Geoff's Blog, Leadership, Strategy
Find an organisation in the news that is attracting a lot of criticism for an aspect of its performance. Look particularly at those where a lot of people are proposing solutions which have a really common feel to them. Identify some underlying long term issues affecting that organisation and see if you can come up with a different solution to everyone else.
The Sport of Business
by Geoff Barbaro on 07. Oct, 2010 in Geoff's Blog, Leadership
Sports can be a fantastic learning tool for business leaders. It is highly visible, there is extensive media coverage and people from all walks of life talk about it. The information is easy to find and is available to analyse and apply.
