The Coaching Jungle: Who is Protecting the Client?
Coaching has outgrown its Wild West beginnings. Without professional competence, clear boundaries and honest self-audit, a powerful helping practice can become a source of harm. Coaching is no longer the new kid on the block. It has entered boardrooms, leadership programmes, universities and personal development markets around the world. Organisations invest heavily in it.
The Importance of Moral Trust in Leadership
In the second part of their article on moral trust, Simon Dolan and Joy Albrecht explore why some leaders inspire extraordinary loyalty while others merely secure cooperation, arguing that the difference lies in moral trust, the confidence that leaders will act with integrity, fairness, and responsibility, especially when confronted with difficult decisions. Leadership is built on trust. Yet not all trust is the same.
Dolan’s Digest: Can work, won’t work
BRITAIN has developed a dangerous new habit: medicalising hardship. Stress, anxiety and periods of uncertainty, once understood as part of ordinary life, are increasingly being treated as permanent disabilities that justify a lifetime outside the workforce. The result is a welfare system that has become a holding pen for a growing number of young, able-bodied people who have been encouraged to see themselves as permanently unfit for employment.

Dolan’s Digest: Labour’s one incentive to wealth creators is to quit the country Original
RACHEL Reeves will stand up on the 26th and deliver a Budget she thinks will ‘reset Britain’. In reality, it’ll be the same tired formula: tax more, spend more, regulate more, and wonder why things continue to get worse. So instead of waiting for the usual Labour sermon on why you should hand over more of your money for worse services, here’s my Budget.
Dolan’s Digest: No Kings? No Hopers Original
THE ‘NO Kings’ protests – better described as the ‘Hate America Rally’ – have been turning out again this month. To borrow US deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson’s response: ‘Who cares?’ While they decry President Trump’s influence as dangerous or divisive, a closer look at his record reveals an America in many ways stronger, safer and more prosperous than it has been in decades. Let them shout into the wind! They are protesting Trump’s ‘over-zealous’ use of presidential power.
O futuro do trabalho e os cinco megadesafios para o RH
Ao longo de minha carreira, dedicada a compreender as transformações no mundo do trabalho, acompanho mudanças que se aceleram a cada ano. O que vejo se desenhar até 2026 — e certamente além — é um cenário de desafios e oportunidades sem precedentes para a gestão de pessoas. Vivemos numa era VUCA — volátil, incerta, complexa e ambígua —, na qual forças econômicas, sociais, ambientais e tecnológicas se entrelaçam, alterando radicalmente a forma como trabalhamos, lideramos e nos relacionamos.
Dolan’s Digest: High-tax, high-spend Labour ignores the lessons of the past Original
FOR the past 12 months, barely a day has gone past without a Labour Party spokesman mentioning ‘the last 14 years of Conservative rule’. Whether that be in relation to challenges the current government faces, or its woeful record on improving anything since Starmer has taken power, we’ve been regularly reminded of the fact that Labour hasn’t been in charge for the majority of the 21st century. In what was clearly an incredibly calculated strategy, Labour was elected on a plan for ‘growth’.

Dolan’s Digest: Is Trump's unpredictability his strength? Original
LET’S get one thing clear. Donald Trump’s return to the White House came at a time in history where ‘geopolitical uncertainty’ could be described as a gross understatement. Russia’s incursion into Ukraine was continuing apace, with the President starting his second term with a mission to prevent further conflict in Eastern Europe. This crisis deepened as the war between Israel and Palestine raged and competing priorities of various nations threw the world into turmoil.
Dolan’s Digest - lawfare against Trump's policies is a warning to us all - The Conservative Woman
LAWFARE, or legal warfare, is traditionally understood to mean the deployment of judicial power to persecute political opponents: candidates, parties, even entire organisations and social movements. It means using the legal system as a weapon or a tool to achieve political or military goals and as such is a blight on the very foundations of democracy. In the run-up to the US election it was the most dangerous and un-American tool of the left’s political arsenal against Donald Trump.

Dolan’s Digest: Trump’s tariffs are a golden opportunity – if only Starmer had a backbone - The Conservative Woman
DONALD Trump was always going to rip up the world economic order when he was elected for a second time. Anyone with a basic understanding of the President appreciates that he has the unique desire and ability to change the global landscape with the stroke of a pen. Recent developments are emblematic of Trump’s psyche.
Dolan’s Digest: Trump wants to do a deal with the UK. Make it happen
THE sheer difference between the styles of leadership in various parts of the Western world has never been as stark in recent years. Over in the US, an economy led by President Trump who, lest we forget only very recently returned for his second period in the White House, is leading the news agenda because of tariffs that have put a sledgehammer through the Establishment’s plans.
A Vision for Tomorrow: Crafting a Compassionate Blueprint for Our Shared Future
The future of work is not just a matter of technology and efficiency; it’s about people. Many of us are navigating uncertainty, stress, and change, yearning for a workplace that understands and supports our diverse needs. Simon L. Dolan puts forward a sympathetic approach to reimagining the world of work.
Dolan’s Digest: Follow Trump’s lead and purge our useless Civil Service
YOU’D be forgiven for thinking that Donald Trump has been in power for years, not weeks, given the speed at which the US President is shifting the dial of domestic and global politics. Given what we witnessed in his first term, it was inevitable that Trump would be dynamic, bold and decisive but perhaps not even the most clairvoyant of political commentators could predict this.

Reimagining the Future: Unleashing the Deep Transformation and its Impact on Business, Society, and the Quality of our Lives
In a world where everything seems to change with increasing frequency, we risk becoming more blasé about every new shift that comes along and failing to appreciate just how huge its consequences may be. That “latest big thing” just might be a transformation. The objective of this article is to describe the magnitude of the transformation that is occurring nowadays around us (business, society, and the world), and to suggest that we are not prepared for this deep transformation.
The Future of Work and the Megachallenges for HR in 2025 and Beyond
In an era characterized by rapid technological advancxements, demographic shifts, and evolving workplace dynamics, the role of Human Resources (HR) is facing unprecedented challenges. As we look toward 2025 and beyond, organizations must prepare to navigate a landscape marked by megachallenges that will reshape the nature of work and employee engagement.

Dolan’s Digest: Will Reeves and Rayner be thrown under the bus?
NOW we are in the second week of January, MPs have returned to Westminster, and we are only a matter of days away from Donald Trump’s second inauguration as President of the United States. It is safe to say that 2025 will pick up where 2024 left off, with political fireworks and unpredictability inevitable wherever you look.
Budget delivers heavily on ‘painful’ promises
There is a saying about buses. You wait ages for one, and two turn up at once. Well under a Labour Government, you might wait ages for one and when it does arrive it will cost more than it used to. As Rachel Reeves stood at the dispatch box to deliver her heavily trailed first Budget as Chancellor, the collective nerves of the nation were palpable.
Dolan’s Digest: What will a Trump victory mean to us?
IT WAS described as one of the biggest political upsets in history when Donald Trump fought off Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio to secure the Republican nomination for the 2016 US Presidential election and eventually romped home. In fact, Trump said following his historic electoral college victory that he didn’t ‘believe the polls any more’ given that they were predicting he would lose comfortably.
Dolan’s Digest: Labour’s slow-motion Budget car crash
RACHEL Reeves’s first fiscal event as Chancellor was anticipated by Labour acolytes as a grand coronation and an opportunity for a new government to put forward its plans for the economy and business. Well, whatever hopes Labour members and voters had of this, prospects have been firmly buried by the period between the election and the Budget. A series of incredibly poorly handled scandals and tedious narcissism has seen the Prime Minister, his Cabinet and his MPs in hot water.
Dolan’s Digest: Starmer’s freebies mustn’t distract us from the nightmare tax-rise agenda
‘FREE Gear’ Starmer has grabbed the headlines in recent weeks and months over his long and drawn-out ability to receive seemingly any free hospitality or gift on offer to him. Whether it be accommodation, suits, designer spectacles, football tickets or an evening at a Taylor Swift concert, the new Prime Minister evidently has a penchant for seeking out a freebie or two. However, in the spirit of fairness, he is not the only one.
The 10 Core Habits of Resilient People: Concept and Tools for Resiliency and Wellness Professionals
Creating or enhancing resilience has become a buzz phrase in recent times. The ubiquity of the term in today’s lexicon stems from a myriad of factors, including the rise of self-help culture, the glorification of struggle and adversity, and the commodification of resilience. In an era marked by constant change and uncertainty, individuals are bombarded with messages emphasizing the importance of resilience in navigating life’s inevitable challenges.
Dolan’s Digest: Sorry, Sir Keir, but the NHS is beyond saving
WHEN Rishi Sunak essentially gave up the ghost and ran one of the most pathetic election campaigns in modern history, it was obvious to the majority that things were likely to get worse before they got better. The notion of any aspect of British life improving in the short term seems like a pipe dream, and in the latest instalment of ‘the Labour Party brings the nation more bad news’ the Prime Minister has laid out his ‘plans’ to reform the NHS.
Dolan’s Digest: After this no-score draw, Trump must go for a replay
THIS was hardly a debate for the ages and frankly felt like two candidates who were both unprepared to speak to the nation ahead of an era-defining US presidential election. The ABC Presidential Debate was, as expected, dominated by tense and fiery exchanges between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, but if the global audience were expecting to learn anything new about the next leader of the free world, they probably felt short-changed.
Unraveling the Neurobiology of Trust and Its Application to Leadership Roles
Trust, a cornerstone of human relationships, is deeply rooted in neurobiology and essential for effective leadership. Here we explore the neuroscience behind trust, focusing on the role of hormones and brain regions, and consider how knowledge of these mechanisms can be useful to business leaders.
Dolan’s Digest: First days of Starmer, last days of the UK
CAST your minds back to Rishi Sunak calling a surprise general election and the enduring memory of the then Prime Minister standing outside No 10 in the rain while protesters blared New Labour’s anthem ‘Things can only get better’. Fast forward a few months and we have a new PM in the form of Sir Keir Starmer, who last week delivered a speech where he conceded that ‘things will get worse before they get better’.
Dolan’s Digest: Underestimate Kamala Harris (and her media stooges) at your peril
REWIND a few weeks and Donald Trump is standing next to a dithering and withering Joe Biden, both behind lecterns as the current President meandered his way through meaningless and nonsensical ramblings while the nation watched on, mouths agape. At that moment, the concept of Trump not returning to the White House in November seemed like a liberal pipe dream.

Los diez signos de las personas que practican la resiliencia
Vivo Muchos personajes históricos que conocemos por su vida ejemplar comparten un rasgo de carácter como la resiliencia. Quizá uno de los ejemplos más destacables sea el de la estadounidense Helen Keller: el hecho de quedarse sorda y ciega a los pocos meses de nacer no le impidió tener una vida plena. Participó activamente en la sociedad de su tiempo, desde diferentes perspectivas. Su superación de la adversidad es digna de elogio.

Dolan’s Digest: What will Trump’s election mean for Europe?
IF a week is a long time in politics, six months is an eternity. At the start of this year, former President Donald Trump was facing a raft of legal challenges across a multitude of states on differing charges but with the same motivation, to ensure that he would not become President once more. The establishment certainly landed some blows on Trump. The difficulty of facing multiple legal challenges on different issues cannot be understated.
Dolan’s Digest: Back to basics – Sunak’s only chance to dodge Armageddon - The Conservative Woman
THE Conservative Party and, specifically, Rishi Sunak continue to bumble their way through an election campaign that is going from one disaster to another. Whether it be poorly announced policies, defections or gambling commission investigations, this has been a masterclass in how not to narrow a significant gap in the polls. If the surveys are to be believed, the Conservative Party is on the brink of an extinction-level result.
Youth holds the key to Downing Street and White House
IN THE coming weeks and months, both the US and UK face era-defining elections where the incumbent establishment governments look destined for crushing defeats. While the two elections are different when it comes to timelines, systems and wider economic and societal context, they are united by key themes.
Dolan’s Digest: Starmer and the stealth campaign to cancel Brexit - The Conservative Woman
WHEN Rishi Sunak stood outside Downing Street last week in the pouring rain, to the backdrop of a New Labour anthem blaring down Whitehall, it felt that the decision to go to the polls may have been rushed. Indeed, rumours of a ‘snap’ General Election were not even being discussed in hushed tones in the days preceding the announcement; instead a frenzied social media onslaught of the nation’s commentariat on the Wednesday morning was the first the majority had heard of it.
Towards the Building of Organisational Resilience: Uncovering the Key Features
Organisational resilience refers to an organisation’s ability to adapt, respond, and recover from disruptive events and changes in its environment. In a VUCA world, which stands for volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, organisational resilience becomes even more crucial. To become resilient, the organisation needs to develop certain characteristics that were not so crucial in running the business in former years but have become so essential in today’s business.
Dolan’s Digest: Wanted: A Tory leader with charisma and vision
AFTER a crippling set of local election results for the Conservative Party, it is clear that succession planning and damage limitation is now the order of the day. The Tories, traditionally viewed as ‘the party of Government’ by the establishment and public alike, are now anything but. A dearth of ideas, policy and energy has sapped the life out of the party and will inevitably lead to a crushing defeat at the next General Election.
Dolan’s Digest: Is a Trump victory part of the left’s cunning plan?
IN recent days Donald Trump has been the subject of a court case in New York where, it is alleged, he falsified business filings in an attempt to cover up hush-money payments. This case is the latest in a catalogue of politically motivated legal proceedings which will see Trump face another three trials.
Dolan’s Digest: Cameron, Trump and the crumbling Special Relationship
WE ARE in a pivotal election year on both sides of the Atlantic. A year that looks increasingly likely to see Sir Keir Starmer in Downing Street and Donald Trump back in the White House, yet at a time when it should be important to strengthen the relationship between two great nations, we are seeing it crumble before our very eyes.
Dolan’s Digest: We need to talk about China
DESPITE Rishi Sunak’s claims that the UK’s response to the increasingly malicious and democracy-threatening Chinese regime is ‘more robust’ than many allies, recent weeks have shown the grave threat posed by the CCP. In the Commons, Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden blamed Chinese ‘state-affiliated actors’ for cyber-attacks at the heart of British democracy, which targeted the Electoral Commission in 2021 and a group of China-sceptic Members of Parliament.
Trust-Me: A Concept and Metric to Embed in Leaders, Enhancing their Effectiveness
Every leader needs to inspire trust in their followers, employees, and stakeholders. Trust is one concept that binds all efforts at relationship-building together, leading to business success. In this article, three experts in business management discuss how leaders can build trust. Trust is the foundation of any successful relationship, whether it be personal or professional. Building trust requires effort and time, but the benefits of a trustworthy relationship are immeasurable.
Dolan’s Digest: We can’t have a workforce that refuses to work
THE UK economy remains on its knees, and day after day you see reports that don’t just make slightly grim reading but should fill the public with dread for the state we find ourselves in. Is unemployment on the rise still? Yes. Are wages falling again? Yes. While it is easy to lament the lack of entrepreneurial spirit, the news that over a fifth of adults in the UK are deemed not to be seeking work is a far darker reality.
Dolan’s Digest: Operation Stop Trump isn’t working
DONALD Trump’s return to the White House can be halted by only one thing – the establishment. One impediment was dramatically lifted yesterday when the US Supreme Court cleared him to run for President. The ruling means he will appear on the ballot in the Colorado primary on ‘Super Tuesday’ today and is expected to secure the Republican party nomination. It will set a precedent for other states, including Illinois and Maine, which also barred Mr Trump from primary ballots.
Dolan’s Digest: Don’t bring back Boris, Rishi!
WHEN Rishi Sunak awoke last week to the news of two potentially catastrophic by-election defeats, he must have asked himself where it all went wrong. Aside from his woeful immigration policies, failure to double down on tax cuts announced by the Truss Government and disastrous party management, there is one thing that will ensure the PM’s ultimate failure at the ballot box – he is not a campaigner, and not somebody the country will get behind.
Dolan’s Digest: It’s the immigrants, stupid
WHETHER a general election comes in the summer or later in the year, Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party now face a herculean task to avoid anything but obliteration. With predictions ranging from a hung parliament to a ’97-style landslide for the Labour Party, it is clear that the Tories have pursued a course of action and inaction which has done irreparable harm to the country and the public’s trust in its stewardship. Where did it all go wrong?
Dolan's Digest: Suddenly Trump is in the driving seat
DONALD Trump rode a tidal wave of support last week to romp to victory in the Republican Party’s Iowa caucus. He secured more than 50 per cent of the vote, smashing his nearest rivals Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley. While it might have been expected, the sheer scale of Trump’s victory sent shockwaves through the American establishment and set up perfectly the prospect of a rematch between the former President and the incumbent, Joe Biden.
Revisiting HR Challenges at the Dawn of 2024
A new year is always an appropriate time to stop and evaluate progress in any given endeavour and, moreover, to consider any new factors that may have entered into the equation. In HR, as in almost every other sector of business, such factors abound.
