He asked if I thought I would be someone that provided shade, where my children or people reporting to me would feel nurtured and could grow their creativity and sense of purpose or might I be someone who would, through a subtle change of angle become a shadow over them? The shadow that might stifle the sense of creativity and freedom to grow and develop. Where it might turn from nurture to suffocation. Well, I...2021-04-1913 minMidlife EnterpriserEnterprisers tolerate risk they do not take risksThis episode is based on research that compared senior managers with serial entrepreneurs for their risk taking and decision making. Published in Nature in 2008 I was delighted to be part of the research and gained an important insight from it and the numerous entrepreneurs I have met over the 30 years.

They know how far to push their comfort zones.To find out more about y...2021-04-0705 minMidlife EnterpriserWhere the Mind is without fearThe short poem I have recited here from Tagore, an Indian Poet from the early 20th Century is a wonderful metaphor for what a typical enterpriser grapples with. The poem was written at the time of India gaining independence from British rule. Tagore talks about being able to speak without fear, of not being blocked in by narrow domestic walls, where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way! And he says so much more in a few short and powerful stanzas. I hope you find the poem inspirational. I like it because it captures the sentiment b...2021-03-2306 minMidlife EnterpriserDealing with the inner imposter to find happinessThis episode is based on a chat with Vicky Steenkamp who began a journey of seeking balance in her life, to manage administrative duties at a University, loving her family and friends and taking care of herself.
