Merry Christmas
Welcome

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your support this year and to Starwish you a wonderful Christmas.
 
As Christmas Eve fast approaches and Father Christmas enters the busiest time of his year I have taken a few moments to lightheartedly reflect on the great skills that he demonstrates.
 
Wishing you a happy and peaceful holiday.
 
Warmest wishes

What a guy!

Father Christmas is a world-renowned public figure with a positive image that spans the globe.  He has maintained that image over many centuries coping effortlessly with the changes in our society. 

As we know, he runs a large organisation employing a magical workforce of happy and Santadevoted elves.  They work all year round to help him achieve his goal and deliver presents to all the world's children.  He also manages a loyal and high-performing team of reindeer.
 
So how does he do it and how has he managed to stay so successful?
Individual Effectiveness
Luminate specialises in helping individuals become high performers and there is no better seasonal performer than Father Christmas.
 
Luminate uses a psychometric questionnaire to assess an individual's effectiveness - the combination of skills, attitudes and habits that distinguish superior performance in life and work.  Here's how the man himself would rate on a handful of the measures...
 
  1. Awareness of others - Father Christmas has the ability to know what each and every one of us wants for Christmas.  He also knows if we have been naughty or nice!
  2. Emotional Resilience - He doesn't get disheartened even when people say he doesn't exist!
  3. Goal Directedness - Father Christmas has a clear goal on Christmas Eve and his actions and behaviour all year remain focussed on this.
  4. Flexibility - He is able to adapt his approach to all the different children across the world (and all the different shape and sizes of chimneys he encounters).
  5. Personal Connectedness - Father Christmas has created a significant connection with each and everyone one of us.  We each hold a special place for him in our hearts.
  6. Invitation to Trust - Who else would we welcome into our homes whilst we sleep and leave a little tipple and mince pie for!
 
It is these traits that make Father Christmas the special man that he is.  I hope he brings you everything you wish for this year.
