TEN MVP (MOST VALUABLE PERSONAL) TRAITS OF SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENUERS
Since beginning my own entrepreneurial ventures in 1982, I have observed much and learned much about what is behind the success of entrepreneurs. I have selected a number of those traits and call them Ten MVP, or Most Valuable Personal, traits of successful entrepreneurs. The selected traits shown below reflect my opinion from personal observation and are not listed in priority order.

Accountability, An Essential Element for High Performance
I recently learned a new method for making myself and others more accountable. It is called behavioural contracting and was taught to me by Bob Davies, a trainer and coach based in the U.S. I tried his method and found it highly effective. To make this work you need to have someone, a coach or friend to work with you to form a behavioural contract. Take a look at your one key goal you set for yourself this year, or set one now. My experience is that if we set and focus on one wildly important goal and take action towards achieving it, other areas of our lives or business improve as well.

Behavior Based Safety - fact or fable
What is BBS and how is it different to behavioural safety? How does behavioural safety evolve within an organisation? How can you know if BBS or behavioural safety will work in your environment?

Culture Fit
What is Culture Fit? Well the first place you are likely to hear about Culture Fit is when you are recruiting for new staff or being recruited yourself. For instance, Culture Fit Interviews differ from Behavioural Interviews, in that the Behavioural Interview attempts to find out about the candidate’s behaviour, skills, knowledge and experience. Culture Fit Interviews generally do not try to determine the individual’s capability, but rather considers the candidate’s ‘cultural fit’ with the organisation, their values and motivators.

Behavioural Intelligence – Noticing What Goes on in Meetings
Behaviour is what you say or do. It's not about what you think or feel. As human beings we have a unique brain structure which allows us to separate our behaviour from our feelings. Meetings and interactions at work are one of the places where this behavioural skill is most important and relevant. Behavioural Intelligence is about raising awareness, so that you notice your own and others' behaviour, and make conscious decisions about it.

Behavioural Intelligence – The Subtle Art of Controlling the Conversation
Practising the skills and disciplines of Behavioural Intelligence will give you an almost unfair advantage in meetings, interactions and negotiations. Making a conscious decision on your next behaviour rather than just reacting is the heart of Behavioural Intelligence. Controlling a conversation or meeting with Behavioural Intelligence is a subtle art. It’s not about being dominating and demanding, it’s about noticing what’s happening (or not happening) and choosing a behaviour to advance towards your chosen objectives - and it's very important to recognise the difference between Push and Pull behaviours.

Personal Impact and Influence – Push and Pull on The Conversation Control Map
Behavioural Intelligence is the art of noticing what behaviours are operating in an interaction or conversation, deciding and then choosing the most useful and appropriate behaviour to do next - and you can Push or Pull. Either option could be right or wrong. Behavioural Intelligence means considering the context within which you are operating and making the behavioural choice based on what would best achieve your objectives or desired outcomes.

Behavioural Intelligence – Attack Defend Behaviour in Negotiating
Learning the art of negotiating includes examining in detail your own behaviour and being able to make conscious, informed choices about what to do or say next. Behavioural Intelligence is about self regulation or self control - particularly in the face of conflict, disagreement or even attack by the other side. The golden rule for the professional is not to get into the Attack/Defend game or spiral. In Behavioural Intelligence we are very clear; you can control your own behaviour if you choose to. It is never true that others make you say or do something - you make that choice.

Behavioural Intelligence – The Secrets of the Most Successful Negotiators
There’s not a magic formula to being a great negotiator. Years on the road and round the table have taught me that Behavioural Intelligence is the essential tool for you to get the results you want and maintain a working relationship that allows you work together again in the future, two elements that you need to constantly manage in negotiations. Two distinct skills or techniques employed by negotiators and leaders trained in Behavioural Intelligence are part of the tool kit and not only help you to operate mindfully but actually improve your relationship and increase your trust and openness “scores”.

Top 10 Things - The First Minute of a Sales Candidate Interview
in addition to a candidate's sales ability, clients want the candidates to possess certain traits that appeal to the clients. Most of those traits are unnecessary. Many of those traits only serve to make the clients happy. Most of those traits don't help the salespeople sell more effectively. So they aren't necessarily the things you should look for in the first minute. I have problems with candidates who exhibit any of the following 10 behaviors:
