I‘d hoped this week to be able to share with you The Manifesto for New Work Pioneers as a PDF download. And I do have a document sitting here on my Mac with that title. But, I ain’t going to be putting it up here today. First, I haven’t figured out the technology required to…

Five Things That Help New Work Pioneers Make Real Change
So, I’ve introduced you to the (not so) silent rise of the New Work Pioneer; I’ve shared how New Work Pioneers use times of crisis as catalysts for change; and indeed how New Work Pioneers come into being. Today I want to share some practical thoughts about how to set off on the New Work…

The Silent Rise of the New Work Pioneer
Did you see Get Ready to be a Change Maker by Bill Drayton and Valeria Budinich over at the Harvard Business Review this week? The article talks about recent economic history, how we’ve cycled through agricultural, industrial and technological revolutions and are now on the cusp of another change again. In their words: “We are…
How to make sure you never get ahead
If you’ve been surfing the web you’ll have seen there are a number of blogs and bloggers around that want to make you believe you can be successful on your own terms at work. Here’s how to avoid their pernicious influence: Remember what your parents told you about work being a necessary evil. They were…
10+1 steps to make coaching work for you
I spent some time this weekend revamping my coaching page. It made me think that it’s all very well for me to write about what coaching is from my perspective. But if you’re someone who’s forking out for coaching, how do you make sure that it does what it says on the tin? Make sure…
