Focus can be defined as the centre of activity, attraction or attention for an individual or a group. It’s the ability to stay concentrated on what you’re doing and ignore distractions. It is also the hidden ingredient in excellence. Hidden because we typically don’t notice it. This audio addresses common types of distraction to focus at work.

Inspiration comes from the Latin word for "breath" and is closely linked to what motivates you and others but they are also very different. Inspiration is much more aligned with intrinsic motivation by simply being its own reward rather than attracting external rewards. It is also connected to having the drive to work hard and complete challenging tasks but without a desire to outperform competitors. As you develop your self-awareness of when and how you experience inspiration personally, you can consider how you can extend this in how you can inspire others around you.

In other words, gritty people put in sustained effort over time to achieve a high level of success in their chosen domain. If you're gritty, you attain success through endurance, perseverance, resilience, passion, hard work, and practice, practice, practice. If you persist and face all the obstacles, you may just win, argue those who tout grit as a component of success.

In difficult times where there is uncertainty and stress, finding and demonstrating empathy can feel counterintuitive. Empathy is a skill that we all look for at work. Leaders who demonstrate empathy, by seeking to understand before being understood, obtain all important insight to problems before judging or punishing. Empathetic leaders set a tone that people matter which impacts positively upon individual and team performance.
