What do you say to someone who’s applied for hundreds of jobs… and feels invisible?

Over the past few months, I’ve watched people in my network - people with decades of experience, deep expertise, and huge value - struggle through long, painful job searches. One friend told me the silence was harder than the rejection. Another was told he was “over‑qualified”, which somehow hurt even more.

It made me realise how lonely this journey can be. How much confidence it quietly erodes. And how modern AI systems often filter out CVs before a human ever gets the chance to see the person behind them.

So I created Keeping the Faith in You - a gentle, practical, and free course to help people navigate the emotional ups and downs, rebuild structure and confidence, and learn how to get past AI application sifters.

If you know someone who’s feeling lost or worn down by the search, please share this with them.
They deserve to feel seen again.

Wellbeing leadership isn’t a “nice to have”. It’s how we protect our people, our culture, and our organisation’s future.

That’s why the new Wellbeing Leadership & Burnout Prevention course grew far beyond the micro‑course I originally planned.

It’s now a full modular programme packed with practical tools leaders can use straight away. And it's live and free right now. https://www.businesspotential.com/courses/wellbeing-leadership/content/index.html #/

We promised, and now we deliver!
Our new People Leader Briefing is now live — a short, practical course to help managers prevent sexual harassment and create a safer, more supportive team culture.

It covers early intervention, empathy‑first conversations, documentation, and how to protect employees from retaliation.

If you manage people, this is an important update for October’s new legislation. https://www.businesspotential.com/courses/UK_HR_Changes_October26_People-Leader-Briefing/content/index.html #/

Time management training has become the “500‑page book about seven bullet points”… and honestly, most people are bored of it. Even worse, nothing changes. People come back from a full‑day course with a colour‑coded calendar and a shiny new notebook — and by Wednesday they’re drowning again.

So we decided to do something completely different.

Short. Fun. Practical. Behaviour‑changing.
A micro‑course that actually sticks — and it’s completely free: https://www.businesspotential.com/courses/work-smarter/content/index.html #/

No fluff. No clichés. No mystical time‑management theories.
Just the real skills people need: workload clarity, negotiation, focus protection and confidence.

And the best part? It takes around 20 minutes — about the time it takes your potatoes to boil.

You’ll get more value from this than any full day spent in a stuffy classroom! So, if you want to work smarter (not harder), this one’s for you!

I’ve just launched a brand‑new 12‑week health course — and it’s completely different from anything I’ve created before.

Instead of long lessons and detailed modules, this one is made up of 73 short videos, each around 30 seconds, covering six simple themes to help you build healthier habits in real life.

It’s gentle, practical and designed to feel easy — even on busy days.

I’ve poured a lot into this, and I’m really proud of how it’s turned out.
If you’d like to take a look, it’s now live at https://www.businesspotential.com/courses/healthier-you/content/index.html

I hope it helps someone who needs a fresh start. And I’d love to hear what you think!
