Manage Process…..Lead People As someone who works closely with many law firms, both big and small, I am in no way surprised to see the results of the recent ALPMA survey that defines “Developing Organisational Leadership Capabilities” as one of the top 3 issues legal practices face in 2013 and beyond.

As we all celebrate the landmark that is 12/12/12, let’s stop and reflect on what and who defines us. Many have chosen this day to mark the occasion of their wedding, to buy a house or other such milestones; defining moments in their lives. Whilst all this is a bit of fun, what makes [...]

As we start a brand new season of Spring here in Australia, it is a great time to refocus on what’s most important moving forward and reject any un-resourceful mindsets and behaviours that have taken root during the winter. When we all do this, we will be prepared to welcome new opportunities that bring fresh [...]

One month down, eleven to go! How quickly does the year get away from us? What has the first month given us and what did we learn? As a part of my yearly plan for Twenty 12, I have signed up for the Tough Mudder Challenge in September with my best friend. The purpose for [...]

As we finish strong in 2011, and prepare for a bigger and brighter 2012, it is for most people a time of reflection on the year that has passed. Whilst this can be a great strategy to prepare for what lies ahead, for some it can be a time of unresourceful comparison and self-assessment. “What [...]

Self Worth Is More Important Than Net Worth

Grant Herbert-The People Builder — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 01:40:14 +0000

The size of your bank balance does not determine your worth….you do! Losing my mum and father in law over the last 3 months has really prompted me to focus on what is really important in life. Whilst I already have a healthy self image and mindset, I am just as susceptible as the next [...]

Putting More Horsepower into Goal Setting

Grant Herbert-The People Builder — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 06:21:13 +0000

Are you tired of setting goals only to feel powerless to reach them? Do you get distracted by “stuff” along the way and find your goals become a distant memory? Recently I had the privilege to go to Adelaide with one of my business coaching clients to pick up his shiny red Ferrari 360 Spyder [...]

Self – Praise is no recommendation

Grant Herbert-The People Builder — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 08:56:42 +0000

In a day and age of more and more self professed gurus, it is important to keep in perspective how we see ourselves as compared to others. I am a self professed “ordinary guy with an outstanding wife and kids”. Anything beyond that has come from the lips those around me. Human Behavior Expert, inspirational [...]

Leading with a Servant Hand

Grant Herbert-The People Builder — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 05:14:02 +0000

As I write this edition, Aussies are faced with the aftermath of floods in our eastern states. My heart goes out to everyone involved, and I feel a sense of pride about the way people have rolled up their sleeves and got stuck into helping their mate, whether they know them or not. Crisis often [...]
