Every year, IWD rolls around, and we talk aspirationally about what we want to achieve. This year I’d like to do something different.

Anneli Blundell
17 February 2015

Sometimes it’s hard to get through to someone. We feel like they are not listening, and it’s almost as if there is a huge physical barrier between us.

Bring on conflict! What?!

Anneli Blundell
17 February 2015

Apparently 46% of people would rather find another job than face a troubling situation at work*. This tells me the trouble with conflict is not that we have conflict but that we hate conflict and will go to great lengths to avoid it

Should’s are a toxic part of our vocabulary. Generally the more we ‘should’ (and then ‘don’t’) the worse we feel about ourselves. I ‘should’ finish that project today. I ‘should’ have prepared more for that meeting. I ‘should’ spend more time doing real work.

The problem with incompetence is not what we think

Anneli Blundell
17 February 2015

Incompetence at work is a necessary part of any developmental journey. A new skill, a new role, a new culture will all spark a fresh set of incompetencies.

Stop pushing my buttons!

Anneli Blundell
17 February 2015

Do people sometimes get up your nose? Do you your clients, partners, friends or staff know just what to say to get under your skin?

Mood makers and mood takers

Anneli Blundell
17 February 2015

Our emotional states are contagious. How you feel in any given moment leaks out into the atmosphere and infects other people.

How judgments drive our behaviour

Anneli Blundell
4 February 2013

One of the ways we can begin to improve our social intelligence and our ability to read people is to firstly understand the mechanics of judgment.
