Right Motives For Business

We have all discovered that a compelling vision and highly functional mission statement will launch a successful business. Our motivation for performing business has many facets. As business owners, we desire to develop creative solutions to meet the needs of our specific market. That is a noble pursuit! We must also grasp the crucial concept that we need to make money, and lots of it, to grow a successful business.

Growing our ability to gain wealth in business is an extremely noble facet of our driving motivation to succeed in business. Without cashflow, reserves, investments, profitability, resources, etc. our businesses can not function, not to mention, thrive, expand, multiply, or fulfill the needs of an escalating global market and population. In short, it is “good” for us to aim to make loads of money in business!

Social and Emotional Intelligence the Key for a Healthy Business

- by Mick Torren

Why is self-awareness important?

We need to be aware of what we are feeling in order to be aware of our behavioural responses to those feelings or emotions. Once that is in place we can then take responsibility for our responses and manage that behaviour in order to reduce the impact it has upon others and ultimately ourselves. (This is the essence of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) We need to understand about our own responses to pain, anger, even love and all our other emotions in order to act appropriately towards other people and ourselves.

The truth is that the most successful people in work and in life have the ability to manage themselves and manage their relationships with others.

Social and emotional intelligence encompasses many skill sets, including stress management, resilience, managing conflict productively, powerful influencing skills, catalysing change, teamwork and collaboration, building trust and much more.

Unfortunately, we see it most when it’s not evident – think of the boss who explodes when a deadline is missed, or the worker that isn’t trusted by their colleagues. Their behavioural response to what they are feeling impact on us in just the same way our responses impact on others. These people are limited by their lack of social and emotional skills.

The Health Tech Revolution

The Health Tech Revolution

About 6 months ago I heard a presentation given at Campus London by Daniel Kraft from Singularity University. The talk blew my mind away and opened it up to the amazing possibilities facing the medical world from the exponential growth of several technologies in parallel. The combination of low-cost gene analysis, improved computerised bio-informatics, robotics, increased connectivity and Power BI style data visualisation will revolutionise the way we interact with medicine.

The amazing growth and connectivity of technologies such as connected digital medical records, robotic surgery, nano-medicine and genomics will provide us with a health eco-system that will allow greater emphasis on preventative health and re-direct medical budgets on improving quality of life rather than focusing it on the last few years of a patient’s existence.

Health services the world over struggle to deal with a variety of problems; increasing cost, unfavourable demographics, access variability, fragmentation, waste and the slow adoption of technology.  Technology can have a positive impact in addressing all these issues.

The increasing power of the smartphone alone is providing a new and increasing range of innovations. It is already possible to test for STDs, blood sugar levels and many other symptoms using sensors or patches linked to smartphone apps. Graphene patches will be even smaller and cheaper.  We are seeing a massive increase in the adoption of quantifiable self-solutions. The popularity of wearable wristbands and smart-watches allow us to monitor our health in real-time and take preventative actions. It will not be long before clothing will …
