You don’t need me to tell you the world around us is going through huge change: technological advancements, digital disruption, climate change, social norms and values of yesteryear no longer being the norm, expectations about working and quality of life.
The pace of that change will only get faster, I think,what with advancements in AI. Rapid change canbe bewildering and it’s tempting to cling on to what we know and hope that it all goes back to normal. It’s unlikely it will. It will be a new normal.
Change is going to happen whether we like it or not, so how do we help ourselves and put ourselves in a position to be most responsive and adaptable?

At the time of speaking to you, here in the UK we’ve just had Storm Isha and are about to have Storm Jocelyn.
Many people around the country with trees blown over, roof tiles flying off and disruption to travel caused by the windy, rainy weather.
Frankly, the stormy weather is a great metaphor for life in the 2020s! We are living in turbulent times, often feeling buffeted and blown by one thing happening after the other.
Thoughts are whirling about the present, anxiety about what’s to come, and difficulty seeing a clear path forward with any certainty.
More than ever, I think, it’s important to stay grounded, tethered to the ground, so to speak - mentally, physically and spiritually.
Listen to the episode to find out some useful practices to become grounded.

How much does empathy play a role in your leadership style? Are you ‘old school’ and think anything like that is a bit too soft to merit serious consideration? Were you brought up with leaders who were definitely more ‘tell don’t ask’ rather than ‘ask don’t tell? For you, is any discussion of feelings awkward?
Well, you might be interested in the business book of the year is called ‘Leader as Healer’ and I’ve been luckyenough to study with the author Nicholas Janni via Coaches Rising.
If you are going to develop one leadership skill, I wholeheartedly recommend empathy.

When my husband and I went to pick up our daughter from university, the weather was awful, and the motorway was busy. My husband is a confident driver, but I am not a good passenger.
If I’m not driving, I often feel car sick for starters. I don’t like going too fast or too near. Plus I’m hyper-alert for any dangers. Which means I’m very vocal with the shrieks and the imaginary slamming of the brakes.
When we got back from the round trip, I was feeling a bit sick and frazzled, and my husband said sympathetically, ‘You’re not a good passenger’. And I agreed.
And then - boom!
It suddenly became a metaphor that translated to other aspects of my life. Am I a good passenger elsewhere or am I happier being in the driving seat? What about being a backseat driver always telling others what to do? Am I ever like that?
So, what does this have to do with you?
Well, I think it’s an interesting thing for you to ponder. Have a listen and find out the questions youshould be asking yourself.

Do you have a strong sense of who you are, how you operate best, what you stand for and what really makes you thrive? If not, I really recommend taking the time to develop it.
I think having a strong sense of self is really the foundation of true confidence and internal validation. If you rely on external validation and approval of others for your sense of worth, it can be a precarious way to exist. The stronger the sense of self, the less you rely on external validation.
Listen to the episode where I share the concept of the Pancha Kosha , which says we have 5 layers from outside to in that make up who we are. Thinking about yourself in this way and examining each layer can help you deepen your sense of self from the outside in. It’s sort of like having a map to help you explore your own being.

Do you often feel like you are a bit of a wallflower in meetings?
What I mean is, rarely saying anything, being scaredto ask a question or raise a point in case you are wrong?
Are you held back by a fear of looking stupid?
Do you then feel stupid for not saying anything?
Well, fear not, you are most definitely not alone! Thistopic comes up so much in coaching.
Why does it matter? Well, if you, like most people, want to create a positive impact, be heard, be seen, and be recognised for the good you do, then you can’t be that wallflower.
You have to be seen and heard and contributing to the conversation, the debate, and the discussion in meetings is an important part of delivering and showing value.
So if you find it hard, listen to the episode where I sharesome ideas that I encourage you to try.

I work mainly with people in the creative industries and from what I can see this is the toughest year yet in the 30 years that I worked.
Fluctuations in the market, disruption, strikes, you name it, it’s been incredibly tough. The knock-on effect of that is a lack of jobs or fear of losing roles or too many qualified people for the amount of vacancies out there.
So how do you keep your self-belief in an industry with lots of knock-backs? Where following your passion and purpose sometimes feels like a mission impossible?
Listen to this week’s episodes for the 2 crucial things youneed to help you through and keep your self-belief.

2024 is upon us and it is that time of year when people startthinking about what they want to be different.
One tool I think is absolutely brilliant at this time of year is the Wheel of Life. It can help you work out how to go from mediocre to memorable (in a good way) in terms of your year ahead.
You can click here to get the version I use with clients from the Co-Active Training Institute with instructions from me. Basically, it’s a template like this.... Your life is divided into 8 different segments for different parts of your life for you to consider.
First, you take a look at each segment and rate it on a scale of 1-10how you are doing - how happy, how fulfilled, etc. Then, you join up all the parts and see what your current wheel looks like. Most people end up with a jagged wheel.
Now, for a wheel to run smoothly, ideally, there need to be no big, jagged bits. Have a listen to the podcast for the next steps and how to smooth out that wheel.

Last year, I think I told you how much I turn into a Bah Humbug Scrooge at Christmas, what with the extra expense, consumerism, buying, wrapping, clearing up, cooking, buying, cleaning etc. I won’t go on.
Of course, there is so much I love about the holidays, namely, being with the family and having quality time. But no-one can tell me it’s a relaxing time of year - unless maybe you are one of those people who flies away to the Caribbean!
Anyway, if you are like me and find the holiday season somewhat daunting and draining then here are some tips I have found that have worked.
