Lead Decisions

Some help with your New Years resolutions as part of mine

Posted by Stuart Browne

5th of January 2010 and I've made one resolution - to be more generous.

3 years ago, I wrote How to be exceptional'.

Since then, it has helped hundreds of people to become better at what they do. From friends and family, to colleagues, to friends of friends' family and colleagues, to customers - you get the idea - lots of people have found it really useful.

The main feedback I get from people who have read it is - "VERY powerful and REALLY easy to read".

Career – out of control?

Posted by Stuart Browne

A friend of mine called recently and said that he needed some career advice.

He was wondering whether to stay in his corporate job and try and get promoted or bite the bullet and go it alone. His main concern was being in control and not putting his eggs in one basket.

I asked him a simple question: for you, is career a verb or a noun?

“What do you mean?” he asked.

What’s the opposite of comfort zone?

Posted by Stuart Browne

When Clive and I get together and talk about the things we want to do, we tend to find that simply by discussing them and making a few notes, they start to happen – almost automatically.

Because we’re both pretty good at asking challenging questions – we stretch each other’s belief systems a little.

We got together for one of our “what type of stuff do we want to do next” chats last summer.

Keep Calm and Carry On

Watching ‘Dancing on Ice’ this weekend (and rooting for Rugby League legend Ellery Hanley) I couldn’t help thinking what it would be like to fall during a routine in front of 8 Million views.

What are you led to believe?

Posted by Stuart Browne

I was talking to a friend on the phone last night. She’s in the process of introducing one of my friends to one of hers in a professional capacity. Because she doesn’t know my friend, naturally she’s anxious that I don’t introduce somebody who reflects badly on her.

So, when I got home I decided to send a courteous email thanking her and putting her mind at rest that things would be OK.

In her response she wrote something that I have never really noticed in language before but which is a fantastic term.

She said ‘I am less concerned than I led you to believe’

Why you sometimes sound ridiculous

Posted by Stuart Browne

On Mondays, I play touch Rugby in the evening. I play with a bunch of lads (I call them lads despite the fact the oldest is over 60!) who don’t want the knocks and bangs that go with the territory of amateur rugby league and don’t have the time to commit to the expected levels of fitness, skill and socialising afterward.

I want to get you into a right state

Posted by Stuart Browne

My wife went to a speed networking event last week. This is where you get 60 seconds to tell a stranger what you and your business do in the hope that you’ll forge some form of lasting business relationship. Your partner reciprocates before the bell goes and you swap partners.

It’s hard to make a big impact in 60 seconds, especially when you’re competing with 20 other people doing the same to the person you’ve just tried to impress.

The secret ingredient to making decisions

Posted by Stuart Browne

If you cook, you might make a meal. If you play an instrument, you can make music. If you are good at DIY, you could make a wall. In fact, you can make pretty much anything with the right tools and materials.

But can you make a decision?

You see “decision” is an odd word. It’s a member of little recognised group of words called nominalisations.

Nominalisations are things that you talk about as if they are objects (nouns) yet you can’t really touch them as such.
