3 NOV 2024 · Be curious - it'll give you power.Â
I’m a level beyond curious - I’m inquisitive. I’ll keep asking questions because I want to know everything. The more information you have, the more opportunites there are to ethically increase your knowledge and power to grow and transform - increasing your 'operating envelope....'
That’s true inside and outside public and private life....

27 OCT 2024 · You'e probably hearf the expression "fake it until you make it!" Yes, it can sort off work in the short term - in my expereince, not in the long term.
People waste a lot of time thinking about their body language when they should be working on how they really feel on the inside and then their body language will reflect that.
It’s tempting to pretend to yourself and to others that you’re OK. You don’t want to admit that anything is wrong because you see that as a weakness or a failing, as if going through a hard time somehow makes you less of a person.
Showing vulnerability doesn’t reveal weakness. Actually, it’s the opposite. It’s a sign of strength. You need to have a certain level of confidence to show vulnerability.

20 OCT 2024 · How do you prepare for the punches that are going to come your way in life? Like anything, it takes practice.
If you’re going to succeed at anything, you have to practise, and you have to practise how you want to perform. That means bringing the same level of intensity and focus to your preparations that you’re going to want when you’re performing.

13 OCT 2024 · Whatever you’re doing, try to use fear as a positive force in your life. It can be the fuel that makes you work harder than ever before.
When you’re preparing, feel scared that you’re not going to achieve your dreams. But when the day comes, you mustn’t allow fear to cloud your judgement as you can’t think clearly when you’re afraid.
If you’ve done enough preparation, you don’t need to be afraid.

6 OCT 2024 · Positive energy goes a long way: everyone responds better to positive energy than to negativity, and to being around optimists rather than pessimists. In life, having a sunny outlook goes a long way. I would like to think I’m an upbeat person. I’m happy with who I am and what I’m doing with my life and that allows me to have a positive energy.
Have a think about how you might come across to other people, and whether they view you as positive or not. Consider the language you use and how you express yourself. Let's explore....

29 SEP 2024 · If you want to change your life, and push yourself to new heights, you're going to have to take some risks.
Playing it safe gets you nowhere in life. At best, you’ll stay where you are today. More likely, you’ll drift backwards as others will rush past you.Â
Ultimately, if you don’t take any risks, you can’t expect to enjoy different results and new, bigger rewards. If you only stick to what you know and what you’ve done before, you might also end up regretting why you limited your chances.

22 SEP 2024 · Whatever you’re trying to accomplish in your life, it's a good idea to have 'numbers' that allow you to track your progress. This is the era of data – you should be able to find a way, maybe even an app, of quantifying the progress you’re making.
I've founf, over the years, that it's preferable to have targets that are measurable. Numbers put everything in black and white. Numbers mean you can’t lie to yourself. If you have a target that’s measurable, you’ll know when you’re on track...

15 SEP 2024 · You’ve figured out how you want to transform your life - now you need to start thinking about how you’re going to create that change. You can’t rely on luck – you can be sure you won’t get far without a strategy and without having measurable goals to work towards.
When someone calls you lucky, it devalues all the hard work and sacrifice that have gone into achieving your dreams.

8 SEP 2024 · Can impatience be a Dream Killer?
People today are more impatient than ever. Our celebrity culture is damaging because it creates the impression that overnight success is most people’s experience, that you usually don’t have to be patient and persevere. We understand people don’t want to work for years. They want to go directly to being successful, skipping out the tough part in-between. But that’s not how the world works.

1 SEP 2024 · Problem Solving by Writing it Down
Over the years I've discovered,that sometimes, there's nothing more powerful than a pen and paper. When I’m going through a hard time, or feeling low, I’ve learned that one way to deal with my problems is to write them down. Often the best and the quickest therapy is scribbling my concerns on a piece of paper. Getting it out of my 'scrambled brain' and connecting with my gut for a solution. Yes, logic also has a 'part to play'. Let's explore....
