4 factors that contributed to winning large & complex sales deals

Have you ever completed a profiling questionnaire or test and wondered why you bothered? If so, you’re not alone. That’s because most tests today attempt to categorise us, slotting us into neat little ‘boxes’ as though we are fixed objects, not human beings with the capacity to transform. Is it any wonder people are left disillusioned with such tools? In this article, Lucy Faulconer, who is the General Manager – Being Profile®, a leadership coach and an organisational psychologist, sh...

How to deal with running out of time as a sales leader

It is natural to want to understand why you are the way you are. But once you have that insight, what can you do about it if you discover areas that aren’t serving you?

How the Being Profile facilitates our ability to transform

Modern society has provided an opportunity to redefine the traditional male and female roles that have been passed down from father to son and mother to daughter for millennia. However, rather than treat each other as humans and appoint the best person for the job, we seem to be caught up in the need to balance the power between the sexes, for example, by electing women just because there are too many men at the top. In this article, John Williams discusses why healthy masculinity is no threat t...

Why healthy masculinity is no threat to feminine empowerment, and “real men” are not afraid of women having power

It's easy to feel isolated, different, alone and excluded when dealing with a disbaility that impacts you 24/7.

Many people choose to keep their hidden disability a secret, often not realising the toll that decision can take until things start spiralling out of control. In this article, Wayne Stickel, a wellbeing and effec...
