Navigate your way through Lockdown 2.0
So here we are again – lockdown round 2 ☹ Just when we were starting to adjust to a new normal World of Work (WOW!) having picked ourselves up and dusted ourselves down, we’re now having to dig deep for yet more RESOLVE; yet more RESILIENCE; yet more RESISTANCE – to giving in and joining […]
I’ve got good news and bad news for you…
Well, you know me – ever the optimist and always one for focusing on the positive, rather than festering on the negative, so I’m starting this week’s FIT Matters with the GOOD NEWS…. Social Media has been an integral part of modern society for many years now – it’s an inseparable element of our daily […]
Are you a Rising Resilient?
It seems RESILIENCE is the buzzword right now. We need shedloads of it, in both business AND life as we continue to navigate our way through this craaazy pandemic. I talked a lot about RESILIENCE in last week’s FIT Matters, when I shared the inspiring story of Trunki Founder Rob Law, who endured an enormous […]
Lessons from Pooh and Piglet!
I’m a big fan of T. Harv Eker, author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, best known for his theories on wealth and motivation, having helped over 2 million people achieve financial freedom and stellar success through his world-renowned, inspirational teachings. Last week’s blog from his son, Jesse, talked about the Habits of Happiness and […]
Are you as resilient as Rob’s Trunki?
I’m entering my 2nd week in quarantine, having spent 10 glorious days at my sister’s place in Spain, lapping up the sun’s rays; enjoying some scrummy tapas; drinking sangria and wandering along the beautiful beaches of Caceres, Sotogrande and Marbella… A-M-A-Z–I-N-G! I had a shed-load of R&R while I was there and David and I […]
Klopp would NEVER put his fans before his players – and neither should YOU!
Putting your customers’ needs before your employees needs is BONKERS, right? I mean, a football manager would NEVER put his fans’ physical or emotional wellbeing ahead of their players, would they? Any half decent football manager knows that their player’s needs and requirements have to take priority, if their players are going to fulfil the […]
You CAN have your cake and eat it too!
I watched a fascinating vodcast on the BBC Ideas site last week, by author & podcaster Bruce Daisley, all about the role of the office moving forward and whether office life, such as that which existed in the classic call centre environment pre-lockdown, would ever be the same again once this pandemic is history and […]
Are you appropriately dressed?
I loved English at school – and I did very well in my O Levels (as they were called back then) in both English Language and English Literature. Perhaps that’s why, when I studied for my NLP Practitioner and then my NLP Masters, my favourite module of both programmes was LANGUAGE. They say WORDS paint […]
Wanna’ know a secret?
Last week I registered to attend an upcoming bitesize learning event, all about how to accelerate performance and development by creating a coaching culture and how to discover new, innovative ways to maintain this success through regular and consistent follow-up. I’m excited to see what the webinar will bring – I mean, I LOVE LOVE […]
Stop staring at the ceiling!
So last week saw our little (and not so little) ones head back to school, for the first time since lockdown back in March – and it’s been a rather emotional, bumpy ride for some of them (and us) hasn’t it? Still, children and chadults (the in-betweeners) are far more resilient than we often give […]
