We find more and more people today are working remotely as companies become global and people are prioritising flexibility. So we thought we’d find out a bit more about this. We’ve had remote meetings which were painful, and we’ve also had ones that were hugely successful, enjoyable and engaging!

It’s a Common Challenge. “You just can’t make up your mind. I really wish that for once, you gave us clear priorities,” Jane said accusingly at the end of the workshop and walked out of the room.

Recently we attended the SUGSA Coaching Day where we presented a session on Coaching Tools. In preparation for this we did a silent brainstorm. When we say ‘tools’ we mean anything that can help you be a better coach. We quickly came up with 33 tools that we think help us be better coaches. We ran the session as an informal sit in a circle and pick a card, then we explained the card and for topics some ran a quick activity for participants to practice.

User acceptance testing (UAT) is the responsibility of the users. By ‘user’, we are typically referring to those stakeholders who will use the system to support their roles in the day to day operation of the business.
