On the 27th of July, CoCo attended the Imperium Experts ‘Net Zero for Leaders’ training course delivered by Net Zero International. It was a one-day programme that provided us with an insight into what Net Zero is and how it can be achieved. When we embarked on the course, we had very little understanding of...Continue reading
Let’s admit, we’ve all begrudgingly said ‘yes’ to something we may not agree with. Though, more often than not, reckless yeses can result in a hoard of missed commitments and unachievable expectations. The good thing is, we can clean up the workplace with one simple word: no. By sweeping the yes-man under the carpet, you...Continue reading
Curiosity killed the cat is so 1598. The curiosity skilled the cat is hot off the press. The World Economic Forum predict, that by 2025, the top skills in demand will include creativity, originality and initiative; analytical thinking and innovation; active learning and learning strategies. All of which lean on an inquisitive mind. What would...

Just like bread, proofing copy is an essential stage that provides consistency and elevation. If copywriting hasn’t gone through the proofing...Continue reading
Presenting in front of an audience can be a daunting experience for the best of us. Glossophobia, the fear of public speaking, is the most common phobia in the world ahead of creepy crawlies, vertiginous heights, and even death. While some of us would sooner die than deliver a presentation at work, we have a...Continue reading
This month, we’re celebrating (a lot!). Not only are we turning six, but we’re merging with Cognition Coaching. In other words, a psychometric colour profiling and leadership specialist with over seven years of experience in the learning and development industry. Sounds impressive, right?!

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to teamwork. In fact, it’s surprisingly easy to make a mess of your team event. Bonding activities can range from downright weird to inherently wonderful. Managers with a wild side (or Hunger Games fascination) can easily take their team-building exercise a bit too far… and we have proof!...Continue reading

While, unfortunately, we cannot control the climate, we can control the implementation of organisational change.
