  • In this bonus episode Robert shares his reflections on the six conversations from the second half of the series - in the hope it’s a welcome opportunity for you to reflect too.


    We really do want you to make these ideas your own - to incorporate them into your leadership style or consultancy practice, so they make a difference to the individuals and teams you’re in relationship with.


    Robert's two standout themes are, firstly the enormous importance of paying attention to the PRESENT MOMENT - our very sense of being here, now - with all the possibilities that includes, and secondly the huge impact our MINDSET has on our moment-to-moment experience, our behaviours and our success.
