@TheSportingMind Jeepers this was exactly what I needed to hear today. Thanks @TheSportingMind - the way desperation to be successful results in us showing up inauthentically is something that can really rob us of joy and being content!
I felt compelled to be real after a fantastic conversation with a fellow coach this morning. Coaching is not easy. What a blessing to have people better than you to work with.
These views may not be shared by all, and that is cool too!
Apparently, today is #NationalBossesDay. But I believe it is time to expunge the word "boss" from our vocabulary. The word has its roots in slavery (from the Dutch word baas, meaning master). No human deserves to be bossed; we need caring, inspiration, coaching & accountability.
Stuck in a bubble, told by half your country your style is kuk, victim of some appalling reffing calls, and you come back to get a win. That could have easily been 3 from 4. Get those boys back to their families now!!! Well done @jacnienaber@SiyaKolisi_Bear
Denmark’s captain @simonkjaer1989 ensured Eriksen didn't swallow his tongue when he was unconscious, gave him CPR, told the squad to form a protective shield around him, consoled Eriksen’s horrified wife & has now led his team back into the game. You, sir, are a hero.
In seasons of change and uncertainty especially, we learn whether our leaders and organizations really mean it when they say they care about us. May we remain focused on what will always be most important—our values and taking care of those who put their trust in us🧡
I smiled and thought: ‘When will we ever be too qualified to understand the complexities and desires of humans who want to feel fulfilled in their work and their dreams! I am excited to be a part of that meaningful work and helping others feel inspired and loved’
The other day a CA(SA) asked me what I wanted to do with my CA(SA) qualification. I said be a meaningful part of inspiring companies to value their people and invest in those in their spans of care. His response: ‘Don’t you think you will be overqualified for that?’
Massive news for the CA(SA) profession in SA. Loads of trainee’s at KPMG and Nkonki now with idle time AND other firm’s trainees about to do serious overtime! https://t.co/BaXCcXi17B
We trust the person who admits they have faults. We trust the person who asks for help instead of pretending they can do it all on their own. We trust the person who is authentic and honest. Why, then, do we feel the need to be strong, unbreakable, and perfect all the time?
On this day, the greatest leader of our time and eternal optimist addressed the nation displaying invincible hope and not a trace of bitterness #Mandela100
