“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, is not an act, but a habit.”
Communication is LEADERSHIP
Until recently, the body has been the missing link in business, where the main focus has always been on intellectual knowledge and hard skills.
The HR Research Institute found that more than 85% agreed soft skills, such as communication, executive presence, team building and psychological safety, are more important to long-term success, and delivers a higher ROI than hard skills.
Developing an embodied toolkit of skills improves the individuals verbal and non-verbal communication, executive presence, emotional intelligence, personal resilience, develops psychological safety, ability to deal with conflict and adaptable to solve problems.
Investing in training of soft skills offers a greater ROI, driving loyalty as well as employee satisfaction and retention. Wise for long-term business success.

#fridayfounders spotlight is Kathi Hoffmann, founder of THE GOOD RUN.
A curator of sustainable and socially responsible sport brands big on ethical values of fairness, accountability, inclusion and diversity. Kathi means business! She is in motion - it’s hard to hold her back.
When I caught up with Kathi a few weeks back about International Women's Day (IWD), she looked me straight in the eye and passionately sparked about ACTION! While an advocate for equality for all, she is an feminist activist within her running.

For this week’s Friday founders spotlight we go a little deeper with Sales Copy expert Elena Connolly. As the owner of 23wisewords, I decided to call her up and find out what her secret sauce is.
As soon as you meet El, as she prefers to be called - it’s less formal - you are welcomed with both professional wisdom and warmth. El is the real deal. She is organised, professional and savvy in this fascinating text realm. Plus being really fun to hang out with - not to mention a mum to two young boys and a loving wife.

In a time of massive cultural and societal change we need leaders to speak openly and honestly. In fact, Rebecca through her Institute for Tech Life Balance speaks freely regarding topics around education, politics, economy and technology. Believing it is beyond this binary narrative of ‘profit or planet’ we move into a sustainable system that puts people plus planet alongside prosperity, for all.
