Change is Scary, but it is also an Opportunity. Major change impacts our lives in three ways. The first two are the change itself and the effect on our circumstances. The biggest impact, and the part we so often neglect, is the process of psychological adaptation to the change. You may not like the change, but there are always new possibilities.

We are in an age where what has been called a 'crisis of masculinity' threatens men's sense of identity, as expectations of behaviour are shifting and traditional roles are eroded. In this engaging conversation, strategic coach and author Purdeep Sangha talks about how this could spell danger for the future of men's relationships, and the shifts that confuse the idea of masculinity. He lists the five top challenges men are facing today, how these impact men's lives, and wider costs for their wellbeing and in their relationships.

Older Entrepreneurs Have More Success – a Conversation with Suzanne Mountain

We tend to think of startups being the province of younger people, but older entrepreneurs have a higher success rate.
Though a small set of exceptional individuals may have built amazing companies while young, the fact is that most successful entrepreneurs are older, often in their forties, fifties, or even later in life. This is the domain chosen by business coach Suzanne Mountain.

"It is what it is", "You can't win 'em all"... When a challenge stumps us, or we find ourselves with a dilemma for which we have no immediate explanation or answer, we tend to resort to platitudes that allow us to set the problem aside. Handy though this is, there is a more sinister side-effect of these 'though-stopping clichés'.
