Have you heard of the Kübler’s Change Curve? It’s a model that describes the stages of emotional reactions people go through when faced with change. As CoCo’s journey continues, we’re excited about the changes to our brand, structure and service offering. This got us thinking about change, and the relevance the change curve has in...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.

I thought this couldn’t possibly be true, but to my dismay it might not be the ‘fake news’ I hoped for a fairy tale ending. If...Continue reading
I’m not a very kind person. Don’t worry, if we ever meet, I’ll be a little ray of sunshine to encourage, support and motivate you, but recently I’ve been asking myself why this rainbow doesn’t extend to me and I find myself under a dark cloud. I’m not talking about depression or anxiety, just...Continue reading
Late last year I met Jo Macsween, the famous haggis pioneer and now chairs a Vistage peer advisory group for business owners and CEOS in Central Scotland.
