July 12, 2012 by Admin Leave a Comment

A big thank you for the response I have received through personal messages following my last article. I really appreciate your ideas, thoughts and interaction. I was not surprised by the number of people who expressed that they are confused by the word mentor, and a shift that may be occurring in the perception and marketing of mentoring. In this article I want to explore want mentoring is further. Let’s cut through what we think we know, and look at some definitions. Now these definitions … [Read more...]

Why would I need a mentor? Part 1

June 21, 2012 by Admin Leave a Comment

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to stop by and read this article. This is a great question which was yet again posed to me recently; Why would I need a mentor? As you may be aware I have been providing formal mentoring services since 2009. And through that time, I’ve had many people, including allied health professionals, ask me to explain what a mentor is, and how to effectively work with a mentor. As allied health professionals, we are more familiar with supervision, especially clinical … [Read more...]

Stress And The Effects On The Mind

March 25, 2012 by Admin Leave a Comment

In my career, I have had plenty of opportunities to think about and react to what I consider to be stress. The concept of stress is an interesting one, especially for those of us who work in a compensable environment where the word was removed and replaced by “psychological injury”. We all know that a certain amount of stress in our daily lives is perfectly normal and somewhat necessary to ensure we perform optimally at work, especially when we are faced with the decision making process. But … [Read more...]

How to get clients jobs

February 8, 2012 by Admin Leave a Comment

One of the least favourite tasks of a Rehabilitation Consultant don't you think? Wow! Before I published this article, a heated discussion about the subject started after I shared it with a group of Consultants on Facebook. (to join the conversation go to https://www.facebook.com/PurpleCo). There are some strong opinions about this message. Well, I am guessing you already know that the best way NOT to help a client get a job is to treat job seeking as 'compliance management'. I guess … [Read more...]

Vision. Focus. Drive – What have you done for me lately

December 12, 2011 by Admin Leave a Comment

Are you a bit like me and spend December in a state of reflection? What did the past year bring? Have I achieved what I wanted? Did I set out to do the things I had planned? One of my biggest lessons during 2011, has been that nothing makes sense without VISION. I have to admit Stephen Covey's well known quote " start with the end in mind" really does bring success. I have learned that VISION brings the end picture, the end result into focus as the DESTINATION. VISION brings everything … [Read more...]

My technology does not own me!

December 9, 2011 by Admin Leave a Comment

When did I become slaves to the tools and equipment that were supposed to be serving me? It’s been an interesting experiment again this week, where I have given myself permission to NOT look at a phone or be online while I have been en route somewhere. It’s been really really hard! Sitting still for 10 – 30 minutes without looking at my phone, checking emails, reviewing FaceBook, Linked In or blog post comments. Sitting still for 10-30 minutes and not talking on the phone. Sitting still … [Read more...]

Are you Talkin’ to me?

December 9, 2011 by Admin Leave a Comment

A previous post focused on the power of our words and communication. It exposed some of the simple things we can do to ensure that we communicate with the people around us in a way that is not only powerful, but effective. An interesting discussion then commenced between my husband and I about the power of our ‘self talk’. Now I have heard this phrase so many times; it’s a ‘coach/mentor/self help’ kind of phrase. In my reading, listening and seeking advice from mentors I have learned that my … [Read more...]
