#63: Fix small things and raise the standard

“Note to self: Fix loose cupboard door” Do you have things around the house that need repairing? Maybe you have some clothes that need adjusting, some cups that are chipped, a light bulb that isn’t working, or taps that need decalcifying? What does this have to do...

#62: Producing pays off

A friend asked me if anyone was reading my blog. He asked if I got many likes or comments. I thought it was a funny question because I know there are people out there reading who don’t hit the like button or comment but they are still reading. What has been super nice...

#61: How often have you wanted to quit?

In my old company,… more than 100 times and I’m not exaggerating. It’s almost a rite of passage being an entrepreneur. Many of you have seen the rollercoaster picture of the ups and downs of an entrepreneur (1). It’s so true, when you are high, nothing can touch you...

#60: Do you struggle with asking for help?

I was completely stuck when organising a big event in my old company. There was so much to do and I couldn’t see how I was going to get it all done. My coach Edson (1) told me to look around me and asked me what I saw. I was on a group coaching call with people who...

#59: “I don’t have time”

Do you find yourself saying “I don’t have time”? I certainly have. We all have the same hours in the day, so how do some people manage to get forward with the work they want to do and others don’t? Instead of saying “I don’t have enough time”, it would be better to...

“Do you have a coach or a therapist?” I sometimes get this question and the answer is a big YES, I work with a lot of different people to work through different challenges and areas I would like to develop. Some people find it strange that a coach would need a coach...

#56: Oh, the places you’ll go!

“Wherever you fly, you’ll be best of the best. Wherever you go, you will top all the rest. Except when you don’t. Because, sometimes you won’t. I’m sorry to say so, but sadly, it’s true, that Bang-ups and Hang-ups can happen to you.” If I had to pick a book to...

#55: Glimpse behind the scenes

It’s Saturday night, it’s 11.13pm and I’m starting (not finishing) to write this blog post. When I worked for a company, I often worked long hours, but it would be unusual for me to be working on a Saturday night. I would more likely be found curled up on the sofa...

#54: Building Goodwill

“Please can I have the macadamia nut chocolate, the champagne truffle and the dark chocolate, thank you” pointing to the tray of chocolate. You know me, I’m a chocolate lover, so I was in heaven. Honold (1) run the “schoggi tram” every year. This year I went twice,...
