The baying mob and apologies

Jon Ronson shares a story of how the twitter world can be so damaging. In 2015 a senior director of corporate communications made a tweet at the start of a flight to South Africa basically using irony to show how the USA / Western world is disconnected to issues in Africa. Except one of her 100+ followers got offended and retweeted it.

Dealing with Excuses

We all make excuses. It might be to hide failure, to cover up fear, to save face due to a lapse in behaviour. How do we see the difference between a reason and an excuse?

I have one friend who always wants trustworthy in public, so they’ve built a defence mechanism, that they never ‘commit’ to friends to do something, so they never let them down. When you invite them to an event, they can never commit, until a few hours before. So they haven’t let you down, but you can never plan for them.

Are you ready to break your Growth Traps?

Have you ever found yourself knowing you can achieve more but get stuck. Perhaps you’ve been in a business or team where the same has happened. Growth traps can hold us back personally, in our careers, and in the businesses we are in from meeting our potential.

Perhaps you are ready for:

  • A career progression
  • A new job
  • A better relationship with your current partner
  • A new relationship
  • Growing your business / Team
  • Meeting growth, revenue or services targets for your team
  • Starting a new business
  • Breaking an old habit
  • Breaking through a crisis 
  • Tackling a compulsive habit 

If we can take away our Growth Traps – beliefs in ourselves, habits, the way we communicate, the way we express feelings, and much more, we are released to meet our potential.
