I had a conversation with a client today that stopped both of us in our tracks. It began with a familiar theme, one I’ve heard time and again from people on the brink of stepping into success. She was nervous about putting herself out there more on social media. She had big goals, but the […]
Trust the Boring Process: What Joe Root Can Teach Us About Sustainable Success
Earlier this week, I went to the cricket. England vs. West Indies, the third One Day International. I love cricket. Not just the sunshine, the crowd, the atmosphere. I love the stats, the scorecards. Cricket Is a Game of Stats Cricket isn’t just about runs and wickets, it’s about numbers. Run rates. Overs remaining. Bowling […]
Progress Over Perfection: The Real Measure of Success
A few days ago, I was chatting with one of my clients during a coaching session. We were talking through her journey—where she’s been, what she’s building, and what’s next on the horizon. You know, the usual mix of reflection and planning that every business owner juggles. She’d just finished a SWOT analysis and—like clockwork—the […]
On The Edge Of Glory
We’re only a couple of weeks away from one of sport’s greatest rivalries resuming… As England take on Australia for the Ashes once again. And I wanted to talk about one of cricket’s most infamous moments, which took place in the 1948 Ashes series. Don Bradman, arguably the greatest cricketer ever to […]
Consistency Is King
You’ve probably heard by now that it’s the Coronation this weekend. It’s a slightly strange moment given that, in my mind, a coronation is something that happened in times gone by… Although that’s probably just a thought ingrained due to the footage of Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation being in black and white. […]
Ed Sheeran Is Not An Idiot
Ed Sheeran’s no fool. He’s been in court this week over copyright claims over Marvin Gaye’s famous ‘Let’s Get It On’ – and at one point he told the court that he’s not an idiot. The line really resonated with me for a few reasons… Firstly, it’s a bizarre headline to read. […]
Gareth Southgate Sucks
After England’s Senegalese stroll on Sunday night, I tuned into TalkSPORT to take the nation’s temperature. And I couldn’t believe my ears. Let’s bear in mind that England have just reached the quarter-final of the World Cup. But from the sound of the reaction on the nation’s favourite sports radio station (they said it, not […]
‘Not All Is What It Seems’ — Why Your Own Internal Value Perception Could Be Letting You Down
Have you ever thought about how you perceive your own value? Value is an important concept in business. When you run your own business, you need to be aware of the value you’re offering others. However, if you don’t truly value yourselves and what you offer, too, you can fail. Offering others value starts with […]
Getting What You Are Worth
I love training. There’s something about going to the gym regularly, that energises me and makes me feel good about myself. When I’m training, it does a lot to help manage my low moods. It changes the whole way I approach my lifestyles, such as eating and drinking. It’s good for me. Except that for […]
Looking Back on Your Hidden Success
We’re at that time of the year when many people are starting to reflect over the last twelve months and consider their accomplishments or successes. Given that it’s also the end of a decade, this has started a trend towards sharing accomplishments over the past 10 years. I don’t know about you, but I’ve seen […]
