Authenticity—It’s A Hallmark of a Great Leader

By Carolyn Stevens | Conflict Management/Tough Conversations, Emotional Intelligence, Feedback, Meetings, People Leadership, Trust, You As A Leader | 0 comment | 18 October, 2017 | 15

There’s so much talk about the importance of being “authentic”—the value of telling the truth about your thoughts and feelings. Why is authenticity such a big deal? Reflect on leaders you’ve been exposed to—who was great, who was not as great? I’ll bet the great leaders you’ve known were authentic and the not-as-great weren’t asRead more

How To Put Things Right When Someone’s Peeved With You

By Carolyn Stevens | Communication, Conflict Management/Tough Conversations, Emotional Intelligence | 0 comment | 6 September, 2017 | 8

You so often get yourself into more trouble when you try to sort things out with someone you’ve upset. In an effort to justify your actions, you typically tell them why you did what you did. But they don’t seem to sympathise with that. And so the situation often goes from bad to worse. SoRead more

Looking For A Sure-Fire Way To Influence?

By Carolyn Stevens | Communication, Conflict Management/Tough Conversations, Influencing Others | 0 comment | 21 June, 2017 | 7

Emotional Intelligence In Action

By Carolyn Stevens | Conflict Management/Tough Conversations, Emotional Intelligence, You As A Leader | 0 comment | 5 August, 2016 | 10

It Was Because Of The Dog… That irritating barking dog enabled an unforgettable demonstration of heart-warming consideration and kindness. It was the talk of the street. A client described how the neighbour’s dog barked, unrelentingly, for hours every day. Neighbours from afar spoke over their fences and stood in the street complaining about the intrusion. And then things turned around—emotionalRead more

How To Put Things Right When Someone’s Peeved With You

Oh heck, we often get ourselves into more trouble when we try and sort things out with someone we’ve upset. Typically, we quickly tell them why we did what we did. We try to justify our actions. And if they don’t seem to sympathise when we tell them why, we get upset with them. AndRead more

Are You Avoiding Or Confronting Awkward Situations?
