A Day of Performance Coaching with Silent Disco King I recently had the pleasure of attending a performance coaching workshop with Silent Disco King in Southampton. It was a sunny Monday morning, and the energy in the room was already buzzing when Ric and I arrived to meet the engaged group of delegates. The atmosphere was relaxed yet focused, and throughout the day, we had an opportunity to dig deep into some really thought-provoking topics, share insights, and have plenty of fun along the way. A Discussion to Kickstart the Day We began the day by diving into the concept [...]

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is often seen as a critical management skill, with 70% of managers acknowledging its importance.

In essence, being able to delegate more and not [...]

This morning I went for a run, I do this two or three times a week (two if I'm being totally honest), I had a guided run on and the coach was talking about endurance in order to go the extra distance.

There is no doubt that the last few years have stretched [...]

When managing issues around employee engagement, productivity or performance in any business; creating a sense of trust is one of the key factors to consider.
