The world of ‘Coaching and Mentoring’ can feel like a minefield - especially if it’s something you haven’t looked into before!

So, in some of my calls this week, I decided to ask a few of my clients to describe the difference coaching with me has made to them in one word or phrase.

Here’s what they came up with:

Last week, I met a wonderful client of mine for a coffee! We were chatting about lots of things, but one topic in particular got me thinking… 🤔

We spoke about the ‘What3Words’ global initiative, and I started to wonder, what 3 words could I offer to this client today to help them improve their business? 👏

Why do I procrastinate? How can I stop?

17/6/2024

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❓

How self-aware are you as a leader?

For me, self-awareness is critical. Why?
​

Because whether you’re a CEO, MD, or manager, you’re leading a team of people who will respond to you and your leadership style, communication style, and general way of being! 

So, in order to lead a team built on a foundation of trust, integrity, and positive culture, which in turn will lead to success, productivity, efficiency, and growth, you need to know as much as possible about yourself!

“How can I be more self-aware?!” I hear you cry! 🗣️ 
​

Here are just a few of my tips for improving your self-awareness, to help you improve as a leader…

Are you REALLY using the power of goal setting to your advantage?

18/2/2024

0 Comments

 
We all know we should set goals, right? But you’d be surprised how many organisations just don’t set clear goals!

Goal setting isn't just a buzzword – it's at the core of success for organisations and businesses across the world! In the dynamic landscape of business, setting clear and achievable goals isn't just beneficial… It's essential for growth and sustainability.

For any business or organisation, trying to grow without defined goals is a bit like sailing without a compass! Goals offer direction, focus, and a framework for decision-making – essential components for steering you towards success...

6 lessons from my recent camper van trips that also apply to business!

Lesson 1: What we resist persists!
Especially when it comes to mud. Yep, turns out that wheel spinning my lovely camper will indeed, not get me out of the mud. In fact the opposite seems to be true! 🤣

Thank god for 4 x4's, tow-hooks & helpful field owners!

Biz lesson: Sometimes we've just got to let it go & let things play out. Stop spinning your wheels frantically trying to change things that don't want to be changed. Take a breath, fully except what is here (as it's already here!) and let go. You'll find it will pass\ solve much quicker! ​

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...
