Why do I procrastinate? How can I stop?

17/6/2024

0 Comments

 
Procrastination is common. In fact, many of my clients arrived with their email inbox overflowing and their desks piled high (literally and figuratively!). 

In my experience, leaders that do not keep their focus aligned with their goals are more likely to get lost in work that can be easily delegated, or in tasks that are irrelevant. I would also say that emotional overflow, such as stress or tiredness, as well as not trusting our teams are also common reasons why procrastination takes over!

So, how can you stop procrastinating❓

Managing stress & burnout as a Manager

4/12/2023

0 Comments

 
Let's face it, being a manager comes with its rewards, but it also brings immense responsibility and challenges that can lead to stress and burnout. As leaders, it's crucial to prioritize our well-being while steering our teams to success. Here are some valuable tips to tackle stress head-on:

🔹 Set boundaries: Learn to say no when necessary. This is really difficult for some leaders, especially new managers who feel like they need to be 'everything to everybody'.

🔹 Learn how to delegate effectively: If you find that delegated tasks often land back on your desk - you might want to look at the way you delegate...

It's great for clarifying expectations, exploring likely obstacles, brainstorming potential solutions \ actions, and most importantly , confirming who does what by when.

Does your workday ever feel like a soul-sucking black hole?

29/6/2023

Well, what if I told you there's a way to inject some spirituality into your business practices and make your workplace a happier, more fulfilling place?

Is there really a place for spirituality in business? Now there's a question!

I know what you're thinking – "Spirituality? In business? That sounds like a recipe for disaster."

But hear me out. Practices like meditation, gratitude, and compassion can actually lead to increased focus, reduced stress, and improved teamwork. Plus, it's a great excuse to wear your yoga pants to the office!

Here are some examples of companies that have incorporated spirituality into their workplace culture...

Joy is not a word you hear very often in business, if at all...

The word joy has come up a lot for me over the last few weeks. I felt that there wasn’t enough of it in my life, that I was missing out on it and even that there was something wrong with me because I didn’t feel enough of it!

Then I realised that I needed to redefine my definition of joy.

Previously the word brought up visions of stock images that I’d seen on social media of people jumping up in the air in absolute ecstasy!! Or of women (usually) being swung around laughing, by what I am assuming are strong men (usually) on movies...

let's discuss 'imposter syNdrome'

3/2/2023

🤔 Ever felt a little bit like a fraud? That you are improvising? That everybody is more knowledgeable than you? That you may get found out? Do you ever wonder how you got into the position you're in? Do you worry that you are not good enough? That you've simply been fortunate?

✅ Well here's the thing... Imposter syndrome and these type of thoughts are WAY more common that you'd think!

Since I've been coaching business owners, managers, directors, and team members for 14 years, I can honestly state that almost everyone I've dealt with has experienced imposter syndrome in at least one situation. Even those making 6 and 7 figures...

I absolutely love reading and learning new things. Good job really as I have to keep current for my business!

My vote is for a book that's had an incredible impact on my life - The Inside Out Revolution (The Only Thing You Need to Know to Change Your Life Forever) by Michael Neill.

Totally life changing stuff! It gave me a completely different perspective on life and helped me to really see how success and happiness can be effortless. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Really great guest post from Sarah at Bristol Hypnotherapy.

​Mindset is everything! Whether we’re making changes to our lifestyle, embarking on a new course of study, or starting up a business, our mindset can determine whether we succeed or fail.
 
Carol Dweck, author of Mindset: The Psychology of Success, coined the terms fixed mindset and growth mindset to describe the beliefs people hold about their ability to learn and develop. Her research upon students found that when they believed that they could become smarter, they put extra time and effort into their learning and development. As a result...
