Self-leadership is the ability to take ownership of one’s role, behaviour, wellbeing and impact. It is about being reflective, not reactive. Proactive, not passive.

Support and supervision are not “extras”. They are what enable professionals to do their best work and make sustained care possible.

Saying no is hard when we care. But every time we say no to something that drains us, we’re saying yes to something that sustains us and gives us more energy to support the work we need and / or want to be carrying out.

Best practice supervision isn’t just about ticking a box. It’s about creating the right conditions for growth, for both supervisors and supervisees.

Our inner dialogue is the foundation of self-leadership…… it influences our confidence, decision-making, and emotional resilience.

Are your workplace norms helping your team thrive—or holding them back? If it’s the latter, what’s one norm you’d like to rewire today?

The development of supervisory skills is an ongoing journey for supervisees, for supervisors and for workplaces, which is why we offer a range of supervision programs and resources to meet this need.

Life is often like the surface of a calm sea—smooth and serene to the outside observer, but beneath, there can be a powerful current of challenges, emotions, and experiences that remain hidden.

As we are starting to gear up for the year ahead, it’s critical to reflect on the habits and practices that support our well-being and capacity to thrive.

As we continue to navigate the ever evolving and demanding landscape of healthcare, the importance of effective supervision cannot be understated.

As we embrace the fresh start that 2025 offers, it’s the perfect moment to reflect on our past experiences and set our sights on the future

When we delight in others’ success, we create an atmosphere where everyone feels valued, safe, and motivated.

It’s a familiar scene, but one that raises an important question: who ensures that leaders feel psychologically safe?

Creating psychological safety in the workplace is more than a “nice-to-have” quality; it’s a foundational necessity for team cohesion, high-quality client care, and retention.

Over the past few months, we have seen a significant rise in stress and overwhelm in many workforces. In this context, there has been an increased need to understand and make sense of what is occurring.

So, how do we decide when perfection is needed and when good enough is just that—good enough?

It’s a strange paradox—we long for feedback because we know it’s crucial for growth, but we also hate hearing it because it often stings, even when it's well-intended.

Self-leadership is about driving your actions, your decisions, and ultimately, your success. It’s not just about having the courage to act (accelerator); it's also about knowing when to pause and reflect (brake).

Think of yourself as a lighthouse. Just as a lighthouse must maintain its light to guide ships safely to shore, a leader must take care of themselves to effectively guide and support their team.

What small steps can we take to create a culture where we see others and ourselves?
