Solo Episode: Life Update, Personal Development Update and 2021 Planning Session (Episode 30). I always love the freshness that comes with a New Year. It is no secret that 2020 was a demanding, challenging and disruptive year for many of us. We were presented with more challenges than we have previously experienced, and there was a real level of uncertainty in the air. I took some much needed time off over Christmas and New Years to destress, decompress and get organised for 2021. I am so happy that I allowed myself the extra time and space to really be able to think – and to not be in my default […]

3 Steps To Crush It in 2021. “The only impossible journey is the one you never begin.” – Tony Robbins. Without a doubt, 2020 has been a challenging year for many of us. I am yet to come across anyone who has been left completely unscathed, or without having their life impacted in some way. However, with adversity there comes opportunity. Some of the greatest businesses we know today (IBM, General Motors, HP, Hyatt, Fedex to name a few), were born during a recession or other tumultuous circumstance. 2020 could be the year that destroyed you, or the year that made you. I don’t know about you, but I am […]

Personal Development Update: August 2020. “Investing in yourself is the best investment you will ever make. It will not only improve your life, it will improve the lives of all those around you.” – Robin Sharma. 2020 has certainly been an unusual, challenging and difficult period for many of us. Events, plans and celebrations have been put on hold, and there is still a lot of uncertainty in the air. One of the things I try to do as much as possible, is to focus on the things that are within my control, and to let go of what isn’t. There are two things which I try my best to […]

To be calm is the highest achievement of the self.” – Zen Proverb. We are living in an extraordinarily challenging, uncertain and difficult time of our lives. Coronavirus, or COVID-19, has taken the world by storm. What initially started as an outbreak in Wuhan, China has now taken over our the world, impacting our schools, workplaces, communities and lives. Whilst I am no expert on this matter and certainly don’t claim to be one, it has been fascinating to observe the spectrum of which people are handling this situation. On one end, you have those have not even batted an eyelid, and are incredibly nonchalant about the whole thing. And then […]

How I Organise My Life For The Week Ahead. “For every minute spent organising, an hour is earned” – Benjamin Franklin. There is nothing worse than waking up on Monday morning feeling overwhelmed and stressed. I’ve always found myself to be a naturally organised person, however it’s taken quite a bit of work for me to get to a place where I truly feel on top of my personal and professional life. There are a few simple practices I’ve put in place to rid myself of Sunday night anxiety and to organise my week up for success: 1. CHECK YOUR DIARY & WRITE A TO-DO LIST Preparation is a critical […]

“Entitlement and lack of patience are the frameworks as to why people aren’t successful.”- Gary Vaynerchuck  “1% of things should be so hard that 99% of people don’t want it or have the stomach or talent for it.”- Gary Vaynerchuck Last week I attended Success Squared, an event run by and for next level entrepreneurs. Led by the uncontested pioneer in the digital marketing space, Gary Vaynerchuck, this event was packed full of knowledge and information shared by leading entrepreneurs. The day finished with me sneaking in a selfie with Gary Vee himself, which sealed the deal for what was already an incredible and inspirational day. In this blog post, I share […]

5 Steps to Design a Remarkable Life “If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.”- Jim Rohn. We spend a significant portion of our time designing. We design our homes, we design our work schedules, and we even design our feeds for the gram. But how much time do we really invest when it comes to designing our own lives? Up until recently, I spent much of my time doing, and not really questioning. Were the decisions I made in my life carefully considered, or was I simply making decisions based on […]

The Questions That Changed My Life. “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to not stop questioning.”- Albert Einstein “There are years that ask questions and years that answer”- Nora Neale Hurston. Over the years, I’ve started to become more conscious and aware of my actions and decisions. Much of our lives are pre-programmed for us. Graduate from high school, complete a degree at university, get a well paid job, take out a mortgage and spend the next 30 years working to pay it off. And only when we retire, do we have the money and resources to be able to travel and life […]
