Ok, so we’ve included an article on Chaos Theory in this month’s edition of our newsletter. We wouldn’t blame you for thinking we’re a bunch of geeks here at Matchett. But it’s time to ‘fess up and publicly admit that Maths wasn’t exactly our favourite subject at school. Calculus, trigonometry, matrices, algebra – just writing those words brings us out in a cold sweat!

Yet, when a friend forwarded a few slides on ‘The Beauty of Mathematics’ (author unknown), we started to see numbers in a whole different light…..far from being scary, they re-inforce the principles we teach every day. Fulfilling your potential and achieving great performance at work, is a function of your Knowledge, Skills and Effort for sure – but what really makes the difference is ATTITUDE.

If you want to persuade your more ‘left brain’ colleagues (perhaps your boss) of the importance of developing a good attitude and behaviours, read on. We’ll give you a secret equation, which will help you prove your argument once and for all. Scientifically.

Perfect symmetry! Now take a moment to consider, from a STRICTLY MATHEMATICAL viewpoint, the following questions:

What is 100%? What does it mean to give 100%? How about achieving 100%? What equals 100% in life?

We already have the answers. Here is our secret equation. Guard the formula well:

We can therefore conclude with mathematical certainty that:
