If you’re managing people and feeling a little frustrated…

Perhaps because they’re not doing it ‘right or don’t seem to ‘care’ enough…

This is just my reminder to you that …sadly… we can’t control other human beings. 

Take it from me. I have tried. ☺

That’s not to say there aren’t MANY things we...

If you’re waiting to feel confident before you do the thing….

STOP WAITING.

Confidence is NOT NECESSARY to take action. 

Confidence is also not necessary to take action that other people perceive as confidence. 

I know that because over the last six years I’ve coached hundreds of high-achieving,...

If you’re struggling with lack of motivation, you’re not alone! 

We all have periods where we feel like we’re just going through the motions. 

We start to ask ourselves why we’re even bothering. 

Isn’t there an easier career out there for us?! 

Maybe it’s got to the stage where the only thing mo...

What’s your tolerance for risk? 

One of the principles I teach, is that to progress in your career, especially if you’re managing other humans, you need to increase your tolerance for risk. 

If you don’t, you won’t be able to prioritise your time, or make decisions, in ways that are required as yo...

Just a reminder that these 3 things are totally unnecessary for career success: 

1. Perfection
2. People being pleased with you 24/7
3. Someone else’s belief in you

• I defi...

I know you probably work in a “fast-paced” environment. 

Where people frequently tell you things are “urgent”. 

They’ll look very serious when they do. 

They’ll 100% believe it. 

But I’m here to remind you, that “urgent” is just a thought. 

It’s not a fact. 

Plenty of people would disagree abo...

Do you believe you’re not a confident person? 

You see people around you who (seem) super confident. 

You compare yourself against them - and make it mean you’re different. 

Not a “confident person”. 

I’m here to tell you you’re wrong.   

The truth is, you feel confident in MANY areas, MANY tim...

Do you ever hear yourself saying:

• I should have done a better job at …
• It was so stupid of me to…

Mean girl central. 

You’re a total bully to your past self. 

No compassion or understanding about what she was going through at the time. 

Maybe she ...

Just a quick reminder that your value is NOT just in:

• working hard
• being organised
• being a team player. 

I’m sure you’ve been praised countless times for those things. 

But they are NOT your only economic value. Not even close. 

My 70-year-old next door neighbour Betty is very hard working...

How do you feel about your salary?

This email is for all of you who think you earn TOO MUCH. 

I know you’re out there. I talk to women all the time who believe this. 

They’ll say to me … with a big dose of embarrassment: 

• I earn SO MUCH money
• It’s ridiculous
• I don’t really deserve it

They...
