Embracing Flaws & Imperfections
Looking into Kintsugi more deeply, you start to realise that the fragility of the vase is why we treat it differently.
Finding Capacity To Grow
Look, let's just have a damn hard talk about your capacity.You are busy; you are not productive.
Keep Your Promises
Why do we keep our promises to others but not to ourselves?
Qualify, Compound, Kill
When we take a moment to understand what's most important, we shed the baggage of what we think we should be.
Monsters In The Grass
Beware the monsters lurk. Ready to pounce at a moment’s notice when you least expect them, ill-prepared and no energy to fight.
Embrace The Fear Of …
So much of what we do is designed to manage our fears and protect our current status. But what if you threw it all away and started over?
Trapped Without Walls.
One of of my weaknesses which I am focusing on turning into a strength, is the ability to observe and accept how far I have come.
Go Back To Basics
With all the chat about AI and our imminent demise as a species, it can be hard to focus.
Quit Your Excuses.
We all have made excuses at some point in our lives, whether to avoid taking responsibility for our actions or to justify our lack of action.
New Beginnings
Beware the monsters lurk. Ready to pounce at a moment’s notice when you least expect them, ill-prepared and no energy to fight.
The Story We Tell Ourselves
Each day we write another chapter, whether we believe it or not.
Train Hard. Race Easy.
A philosophy for life that we choose to ignore.
How Far You’ve Come
There is no doubt that you are further along than you realise. But that voice in your head hounds you, tortures you, that you are not enough, you haven't come far enough.
Step back. Then move forward.
My greatest growth came from when I stopped. Sat staring at a whiteboard for three months asking, what does moving forward look like.
The Goal Is Irrelevant
When it comes to setting goals for yourself or your business, it might be time for a change in thinking.
Half Of The Art Of Living Is Resilience
It is not lost on me that life is hard, damn hard. But we assume that most have it under control. It's a myth.
At War With My Identity
As Lone Leaders we put ourselves under daily pressure fighting an unseeable enemy that we can never win against.
How I Use Trauma To Grow
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. But it comes with pain.
An Anchor In A Storm
It dawned on me this morning that anchoring something can be powerful, queue the boat analogy.
Life Is A Paradox, Get On Board
The Stockdale Paradox was initially brought to life in the Jim Collins Good To Great book on what it takes to make average companies extraordinary.
Walk The Dog – A Lesson For A Rich Life
Forgive me if you are not a dog owner. I assure you this is for you too.
Take the learning from any defeat
No one needs yet another New Years' article about the whys or wherefores of making changes on the strike at midnight each year.
Look for hidden figures
If you have watched the film Hidden Figures, I hope these simple ideas resonate with you; if not, I'll explain.
Live your legacy. Don’t save it for when you are gone
At the ripe old age of 42, but with a hairline of a bald 60yr old, I find myself pondering life just a little more than when I was in my 30s. None more than in 2022.
Do you have a toxic relationship with your business?
Sorry toget all soppy on this business stuff, but sometimes we need to have the conversation. This is not an intervention, but we need to have this talk.
