As the workplace and the workforce continue to morph, understanding what people are looking for in and from their work has taken on greater significance. When we understand interests and motivations, we’re able to offer an employee experience that generates engagement, taps discretionary effort, promotes productivity, and ensures the retention of top talent. Our third annual report, Career Development Today: What People Really Want, sheds much-needed light upon what employees prioritized last year and offers organizations and leaders important insights to drive talent-centric strategies and... Continue Reading

Do you ever have one of those blah days? The energy level is simply low. Nothing special that you can put your finger on but just blah.  Having a hard time focusing. Creative juices are simply dried up.  Well, that’s me today. I am in a blah mood and I don’t know why. I called Mom and Pop Joe, and five minutes into the conversation, Mom said, “You sound tired.” I never could fool Mom!   As you know, I love to share personal stories — especially when they are funny. Well today, I don’t see or feel the humor. Yet, I feel compelled to write about this blah day. Why?  Because blah... Continue Reading

Happy New Year, friends! A new year, a fresh start is upon us. But before we jump into 2024, let’s refresh ourselves with the topics that resonated with you this past year.

Shiageto is like this puppy; exhausted after the year we’ve had but excited for our growth next year 😊 It’s the final day of 2023 and it’s at this time of year that people reflect on how their year has panned out. For me, the founder of an innovative consulting firm that specialises on strategic effectiveness, it’ been a hell of a year. Parking for one moment all the ups and downs in my personal life [the conflict in Palestine, getting evicted and a stop-start love-life being some of those “highlights”]; it’s been quite a year for Shiageto Consulting. A year in numbers A... Continue Reading

Just look at our little warrior grandson, Porter! 😂 This shopping spree was a battle of epic proportions — Porter vs the department store. It’s a drama we’ve all starred in!  (CeCe who gets stronger by the store, has driven me to this point on many occasions.)  Porter, like he’s auditioning for a melodrama, showcases the universal ‘I-can’t-take-it-anymore’ stance. We all hit these moments of exhaustion, from work, family, and life’s never-ending favors queue. But hey, what’s a little drama without a silver lining? 🌈 Let’s take a page from Porter’s playbook, folks!... Continue Reading

“Make your cast directly overhead,” says our fishing guide after my feeble side-arm cast was blown back in my face with the 25 mph wind. “I know it’s counterintuitive with the wind blowing, but if you cast directly overhead, your cast will go further and straighter in this wind, and the flies will land softer on the water.” So, there I was, mid-river, grappling with this stubborn bird’s nest of a knot from my side-arm attempt to beat the wind. It is the kind of tangle that only comes with poor fly-casting skills. I glanced over at our guide, hoping he’d take pity on me and offer... Continue Reading
