It releases energy for you to float high on the tides of life, but can just as quickly turn against you…” With burnout being one of the most common byproducts of our always-on society, it shouldn't be taken so lightly. Burnout can have adverse effects on an individual’s mental wellness, employee engagement and on a business&...

If a human being is considered to be just a physical body it equals being a bio-robot. With the change in aspirations (from mere survival to being happy and ...

Everything we do for work directly depends on mental functions. Absolutely everything! Although we work with the “head”, relying dominantly on inner mental functions to get our work done, the approach in workplaces to this vital resource has been of a reactive type – becoming highlighted only when serious mental health problems emerge. The approach to mental wellness needs ...

The superficial culture of ‘seen it, read it, know it ’, runs the real risk of turning us into a human collective of jack of all trades, masters of nothing. Being superficial does not allow you and your team to use your real intrapersonal potential. WHY IS BEING SUPERFICIAL SLOWLY KILLING YOUR BUSINESS / CAREER? There exists a universal skill, that each of us already pos...
