A key theme in a recent group coaching call was being Time Poor. We know there are never enough hours in the day to get it all done. However, I invited participants to change their mindset, thinking, and routines because otherwise if we keep saying “we’re time-poor”, guess what? We’ll remain time-poor. Please think about […]
Workshopping the 3P’s
How often do you get your tourism team together? Are the meetings always operational or do you get a chance to be strategic? Do you focus on your tourism product (or service), process, or spend time talking about your people? I love using the 3P’s technique. Product, Process, and People Often many businesses get caught […]
Speed of Recovery
There are many reasons teams are slow at recovering from challenges, and yet SPEED of RECOVERY is one of the most important factors for high-performance teams. At no point, can we ever say it’ll be smooth sailing and clear skies. Every business has its challenges, as every team does, and so it’s not about wishing […]
The Top 10 Tendencies Obstructing Human High Performance
Recently delivered several workshops on this topic, and we discussed specifically the Top 10 Tendencies that are obstructing human high performance. Particularly impacting workplace culture, routines and habits, communication, competitiveness, adherence to process/rules and so much more. Each team that participated was fortunate enough to be in the ‘Pro-Team’ category (a 7-8/10), already a professional […]
Build a Stronger Tourism Team and Grow Their Capabilities
Do you frequently find yourself climbing or falling into the problem box? Suddenly you’re the one in there solving everyone’s problems. Or do you love being the ‘go-to’, the guru answering all the questions? If you’re wanting to build a stronger tourism team and grow capability within others, it’s really important to stay out of […]
Customer Health Check-Up
In my work with tourism businesses lately, we’ve been exploring ALL things customer journey. Are you familiar with your customer’s journey? Have you mapped it recently, taken time to dive in and explore deeply where the customer is at? What their deepest frustrations, fears, wants and aspirations are? Or have you continued to keep selling […]
Presupposing a Team’s Potential
One family holiday we decided to brave it and all go snorkelling. It seemed like a fairly mammoth effort getting everyone kitted out in wetsuits, snorkels and fins. In the back of my mind, I kept thinking it would just be easier to stay on the boat and enjoy the views and the sounds of […]
Retaining, Training or Harnessing Talent
There are a lot of conversations about mass resignations happening in the US. Will Australia face it too? Has it started already? The tourism industry is also currently struggling to find people and fill roles. Some businesses are slicing and dicing to be leaner and meaner than ever before, regardless of longevity, loyalty and commitment […]
Stop Avoiding Difficult Conversations
Whether it’s at work managing a team, leading a business, talking to your superiors, working with clients, at home with a partner, or dealing with children, these types of conversations are around us all day long. Are you needing to have a conversation with someone? It could be a business discussion or something personal. It’s […]
Managing the Whelm
How good are you at doing the ‘Whelm’? My client Sally has been great at it lately. It’s the feeling when it’s all too much, when the to-do list has gotten so big, it’s beyond unmanageable. We call it the Whelm. It starts to take over everything and impacts sleep, focus, energy and productivity. Here’s […]
