If I'm ever looking for how to be better at leading, Sinek is the first person I would turn to. I've never read his book 'Leaders eat last' but I have heard him talk about leadership and read his daily quotes on leadership. He says and writes some really useful stuff that get you thinking … Continue reading Lessons in leadership

Not every moment defines you
Just because you fail doesn’t make you a failure, if someone doesn’t accept your help doesn’t make you useless and so it goes on. I think sometimes we try so hard to define things and to define who we are that we miss the bigger picture. It’s not about being a winner or a loser. … Continue reading Not every moment defines you
Maybe we should meet our idols
Because cracking the illusion of the super human might be just what you need. So, I don't have anyone I'd consider an idol but I have a bunch of music favourites as well as Seth Godin, Simon Sinek, Gary Vee etc. They're all people that move or inspire me. They're people I think are amazing … Continue reading Maybe we should meet our idols
Politics, voting and uncomfortable conversations
If you live outside of the UK and keep up with global politics then you'll know that on the 12th December there is a UK general election. Although there are various parties running, it's really just a choice between Labour and Conservatives. From the perspective of someone who isn't particularly political, Labour is for 'the … Continue reading Politics, voting and uncomfortable conversations
Things worth passing on
Like books, podcasts, talks etc If someone asks for a recommendation when your interests aren't mainstream, it's easy to hold back. It's easy to be reluctant to share that local band who are heavily influenced by 80s synth pop. You might skip over that book you read a while back by a neurologist purely out … Continue reading Things worth passing on
Don’t look back
...in anger (this has nothing to do with Oasis but I do love that song!). You can spend your whole life working on improving aspects of your life. Imagine you've always struggled with your career and finding something that you like that pays enough that you can live a life you're happy with you. Imagine … Continue reading Don’t look back
Unexpected circumstances
Whether you're stressed, organised or relaxed as you go through life, unexpected circumstances will arise. It isn't necessarily anything good or bad but rather something you haven't planned for, something that you did not anticipate. Often these things knock us for 6 and we find ourselves stuck or setback. I think that comes from the … Continue reading Unexpected circumstances
Comfortable or helpful
You can't always have both. So it turns out that the thing that brings you the most comfort might also be incredibly unhelpful to your personal development. It could even be the main thing holding you back from living your dream life, a life of bliss. But you get so caught up in the comfort … Continue reading Comfortable or helpful
Black Friday: A false sense of urgency
Buy it now, before it's too late! So yesterday was black Friday and I think for the first time ever I noticed how full on it actually is. There are so many things to possibly buy and so many deals and discounts to give into. As I scrolled through sites looking for potential purchases I … Continue reading Black Friday: A false sense of urgency
Managing stress and deadlines
Been there done that, felt awful. So, these are three little things that work for me because sometimes I need to remind myself that putting things off will never be helpful. Start Beginning as soon as possible gives you the most amount of time to work on your thing. I've found that it's often when … Continue reading Managing stress and deadlines
