I didn’t learn mine from working at a desk in a big corporate, or from courses and books. The most valuable lessons I learnt were being a tour guide in Central and Eastern Europe for three years.

I learnt about: building rapport and connection, setting expectations, establishing personal boundaries, solving problems, delegating, making do with what you have, keeping within budget, decision making, customer service, diversity, continuous improvement, accountability, communication, remote working, and having fun! I could be describing some of your leadership development areas couldn’t I?

No wait, I actually live in paradise. New Zealand is without doubt one of the most naturally beautiful places in the world. But I don't mean that. We have pretty good health, education and justice systems with equal access to all. There are no excuses here... we can grow into anything we wat to do and into anyone we want to be. All we need is motivation, hard work and someone supporting us.


If you would like to talk more about how you or your team can grow to be the best you can be, get it touch. Lets talk about paradise!

Last week I shared an apple tree analogy of Prof David Clutterbuck's High Performing Team PERILL model. To grow the apples that stakeholders need, HPT’s need six elements: the right leadership, clear purpose, strong relationships, learning and continuous improvement, and good internal and external processes. The team I am using this analogy with it could totally relate. They also suggested in the real world HPT’s experience some rotten apples, some wastage, possums and other critters eating the fruits of their labour, not to mention strong winds knocking apples off the tree. So, HPT’s need a seventh element "resilience". Thanks Gary Connolly, Gary Thomass, Jennifer Edwards, Zoltan Varadi, Tertia du Plooy, Evan Myers – we've just created a new HPT model together - very happy to be learning with you!
