Knowing the impact you want to make in life takes time. It requires clarity and a roadmap. A real strategy that is often much bigger than you. Those that are prepared to pause and be intentionally conscious can now see the fruits of their investment in themselves by being open to what else there is for them. It has become their new beginning and it often means that they will create a shared journey as nothing big can be done alone.

If you are genuine about being an organisation that cares about its people and their wellbeing, then you are leaders who are prepared to invest in long-term solutions and in engaging the right people to deliver the support and guidance that allows your people to thrive.  

Burnout tends to happen slowly and we rarely see it creeping up on us. We live and work in a “chase” cycle of always wanting more, thinking we just need to do just that little bit extra and somehow that small additional thing will make all the difference in the world. Unfortunately, the reality is that when we do that little more, we usually end up adding yet another thing to it with no real end in sight.

Travel has shown me how much more I need to learn about myself, about the world, and about acceptance of myself and of others.

Mentors share their knowledge, skills and/or lived experiences to help others develop and grow. They are readily available and capable of sharing their stories more directive way to help their mentee reach their solutions.

This is not the “great resignation” period that has happened because of Covid, it has been a point of discussion for over a decade, but nobody has been prepared to pause and listen

“Entitled” they have said. Now they are scrambling to point the finger but still there is no ACTION.

Thoughts drive both action and inaction, it holds the universal power for everything we do but we have subconsciously been led to give priority to what we wear and how we look over; of which neither can or does impact personal decisions or global decisions to progress or save society

Have you consciously taken the time to pause so that you better understand the reason why you have crossed paths with someone? I know we pause to say hello and perhaps even have a conversation

Business is simple if you know the basics to get off the ground and grow. It is interesting how people view business and although everyone has the right intentions, there seems to be a vast difference in knowledge on how to set up, manage and exit a business.

People BUY from PEOPLE. We are the story, we are the product so let’s begin with who we are and why we do what we do.

The Poll demonstrates what we need to make business successful.

As much as I encourage everyone to keep thinking about what else there is for them, starting a business is something that needs to be carefully considered. Let’s talk about 4 good reasons you would start your own business so you can reflect on where you are at.

Most people who dream about doing something for themselves are in the same position. However, those who set out to succeed not only start with the right intention to make it succeed but they also seek out people who have done it before for themselves on their own.

Today I am going to share 3 TIPS to be aware of as you start to plan.

For far too long everyone has done what someone else has done. They catch on to a new buzzword or thought and believe they are moving with the change-makers. 

If that is the path you have been following or tempted to follow, take a moment to pause and think about this? Is it achieving the outcome that you want? Have you even considered your desired outcome? 

As a mum, I know you just look at what you do every single day as simply what you need to do so you can get the job done. But, each of these skills that you possess also makes for the best entrepreneur. Yet, we don’t seem to see these skills as transferable skills in business.

We want to show our children there is no fear that comes from failure, only learnings. There is no disappointment only support for trying something new to discover what might be. It is through this interaction that they can find a solution that is yet to be considered let alone discovered.

Creating certainty is about being clear with what you want, just as much as what you don’t want. It is like the “Black & White” discussion. We all know there is a lot of grey in between so this is where I play. I create my “Black and White” – I call this my boundaries, and then I play in the “grey” in between.

The question “When do you think leadership development needs to form part of your career?” is something I am often asked by aspiring young employees who are looking at their career path, or by middle management employees who are in positions of leadership.

I want to create a path that allows our teenagers to be heard, understood, and to develop a new way of stepping forward in life.

If we step in and take control, no matter if it is for a child, a staff, a friend, we take away their opportunity to shine. Worse still we take away their opportunity to learn from what steps they have taken, and then to reflect and try again.

As adults, we are often encouraged through work to seek out personal development, to get involved, to collaborate. What would it be like for you now if these opportunities were provided to you as a young adolescent? As a teenager when you were going through so much change or even as a school leaver still not certain of what you want to be or where you want to go?
