Self-doubt and the bullying boss

24 October 2009

The BPS Digest reports that Self-doubt turns bosses into bullies. If power corrupts it may not corrupt equally.

Coaching

20 February 2008

I’ve been doing more coaching work lately and I’d quite like some more. I also find it quite hard to descibe my approach and feel wary of some of the supposed coaching models I read about online. Most of the time when I try to describe it I become self-conscious
