YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO…

Mar 02 2025 2 mins

This week, I want to talk to you about how, contrary to the old adage, you actually *can* have your cake and eat it too these days and, if you really think about it, the saying, "You can’t have your cake and eat it too," is perhaps now not as right as it once was! How can you simultaneously have and eat a cake too. It's just not physically possible, as it’s a cont

DON'T PUT 2 AND 2 TOGETHER AND MAKE 5....

Mar 02 2025 2 mins

This week, I want to talk to you about why it’s so important not to make assumptions about anything or anyone and not to put 2 and 2 together sometimes and make 5! Making assumptions without sufficient evidence can lead to misunderstandings and unnecessary complications. We’ve often seen ourselves or other people make assumptions about things and connect imaginary dots where th

This week I want to talk to you about why you must always try to avoid obstacles, including obstacles that you even sometimes unconsciously put in your own way! We have the power to redefine things ahead of us.It's really fascinating how life always throws obstacles our way. Obstacles in life are inevitable, but how we approach them makes a real difference. We often see obstacl

WE’RE ALL GENIUSES IN HINDSIGHT…

Mar 02 2025 2 mins

This week I want to talk to you about how we are all geniuses in hindsight. It seems so obvious, doesn’t it? But that’s because it's so true, as it's a very common experience for people to think like this.Think about it, have you ever found yourself reflecting on past events that have happened to you and then thinking, or saying, something like: “*Perhaps, I should ha

HOPE IS STILL IMPORTANT…

Mar 02 2025 2 mins

This week I want to talk to you about how, although I am well known for saying that hope is not a strategy, it is also very important for me to stress that hope is still important. Hope isn't just a passive feeling; it can be a strategic tool too. Hope is also contagious. It sometimes feels like the world is closing in, but hope is still important; it keeps us moving forward, e

WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES SOMETIMES…

Feb 02 2025 2 mins

This week I want to talk to you about how we all make mistakes sometimes. Who hasn’t, none of us are perfect. I’ve come to realise over the years that, not only are mistakes just part of being human, but they’re actually also the moments that teach us the most. Do you remember a time when you made a gigantic mistake in public? It felt like the world stopped, didn’t it? Bu

TWO BRAINS ARE BETTER THAN ONE...

Feb 02 2025 2 mins

This week, I want to tell you why two brains are always better than one, as when we collaborate with others, our combined thoughts and different perspectives always help us to create better things, including finding solutions to problems we face. When you team up with another person, whether personally or professionally, your diverse experiences and perspectives blend together, r

IF IT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS…

Feb 02 2025 2 mins

This week, I want to talk to you about how, as the saying goes, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is! It seems such common sense when we say this to ourselves afterwards, but we need to remind ourselves of this, before parting with our money. Have you ever had a lingering doubt about an offer that seems too good to be true? Maybe it was something you really wante

PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE...

Feb 02 2025 2 mins

This week, I want to talk about why it’s so important to put a smile on your face. I know it probably sounds a cliché, but smiling genuinely makes a difference. When you smile, your mood instantly lifts, and everything around you seems brighter and life a little lighter. Life usually throws challenges our way, like we’re just lurching from crisis to crisis. It's easy to f

DO MORE THAN YOU NEED TO....

Jan 05 2025 2 mins

This week, I want to talk to you about why you should always try to do more than you need to, if you want to achieve anything. Sometimes, you really have to challenge yourself and push yourself beyond what is strictly necessary. if you really want to succeed at something. We are often so naturally programmed to do just enough to meet the minimum requirements for anything, so that
