Why You Should Use Motivational Maps in Your Recruitment Process
Motivational Maps can make a very big difference when it comes down to the the final selection interview, and there are, say, only 2 or 3 candidates left in the field. Often, because of the rigorous process organisations have gone through to pare the short list down to such a small number, the quality of the candidates is high, and it is difficult to differentiate between them. Who, in fact, will be the best fit?

Motivation and the wild wild sea
Finally, I launch myself in – into the gentle waves and I am immersed in the freezing cold. My hands especially feel it – my core tries to resist. But what joy as the current takes me, and as I flip and flop and attempt this stroke and then that, and know I am back.

All decisions have consequences, so this blog is not minimising the importance of carefully considering any choice you have to make. But in the scheme of things the Pareto Principle applies: 80% of decisions are pretty low grade, and on 20% of our decisions big outcomes depend.
Why Leaders Need Personal Development
What is leadership? As Dr Johnson observed about light, it’s easy to see what light is, but not so easy to say what it is; so with leadership – we can easily see its positive presence – and the dire consequence of its absence – but to say what it is proves more tricky.
Healing Dreams
When I first went into hospital I was in for six days. For the first four of those I didn’t eat, and for the first five I couldn’t sleep. Then, on the fifth night, exhausted, I fell into a profound sleep, and received a vision – I believe from God – about my illness, showingContinue reading “Healing Dreams”
The Motivation of Memories
I have been in hospital now for several weeks. Recently a major development occurred – I was allowed home for 4 hour stretches mid-afternoon. Imagine that: weeks in an institution and being institutionalised, and then 4 hours of home. It has been wonderful – rediscovering my old home again – going through the door, sittingContinue reading “The Motivation of Memories”
Small Joys
Quoting Blake from memory – being on a hospital bed in a hospital: To see a world in a grain of sand, A heaven in a wild flower; To hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. is to remind myself of the glory that is everywhere around us inContinue reading “Small Joys”
