The wrap-up: an open letter from the CEO

At the end of July, we held Peeplcoach’s 2nd Annual Conference. And it is fair to say that there was a lot going on in the lead-up for Peeplcoach, for the team and for me personally. The day before the conference I presented to approximately 100 advisors, potential customers and investors at the Springboard Enterprises […]
10 Things I Learnt From the Accidental Prime Minister

I recently got to meet the ‘accidental’ prime minister, Jacinda Ardern. And before anyone criticises me for being flippant, this is what Jacinda called herself. To receive a handwritten invitation to meet someone you admire so much is definitely a great start to the day. My goal is to be inspired every day and on […]

What I heard at the 2023 AITD Conference!

There is never enough time, is there? We all have too much to do – our inboxes are full and our to-do lists are overwhelming – but we optimistically book that training session or workshop in our diary in a few months thinking that we’ll surely have some more time by that point. Then a […]
When 3 out of 4 isn’t good enough

When it comes to talent retention and career satisfaction, a number of themes have emerged over the last few years, including the following. Whatever your industry, these are all areas that are essential not only for attracting people to your organisation but also for keeping existing employees happy and engaged at work. Strong leadership is […]
We thought WTF so we created WLTF!

WTF! It may be an abbreviation that attempts to lessen the offensiveness of the words it stands for, but the expression ‘WTF’ is strong and emotive language that we, the team here at Peeplcoach, feel is called for when it comes to a particular issue. Older women are the fastest growing group of homeless people. […]
Amplifying Your Learning and Development Dollar

Everyday CFOs, CMOs, COOs, CEOs, boards and shareholders ask the question, ‘What will be the return on this investment?’ The investment might be a new manufacturing plant or piece of machinery, a new person to join the team, a marketing campaign, or a training, development or leadership program.

It’s Time to Celebrate and Congratulate

December is a time to celebrate and congratulate. End-of-year parties around the world will highlight the contribution of individuals and teams.

However, celebrating, acknowledging and […]

‘Vestis virum facit’ (Erasmus, Adagia 3.1.60) is a saying coined by the 15th–century writer Erasmus. Today the quote is better recognised as ‘Clothes maketh the man’. It could perhaps be further refined to ‘Clothes maketh the person’. Up until the beginning of 2020, millions of people began their days by donning ironed shirts, dry-cleaned suits and stylish […]
