Where to even begin with this one?

At best the giver thinks you are great and wants you to believe in yourself.

At worst it shows an astounding lack of insight into the human condition and how learning happens.

I know a big birthday is a rollercoaster but it does remind you: lots of emotions can exist all at once in life because there’s brilliant bits and amazing people and worry and sadness. What on earth made us think they couldn’t at work as well? Work is life.

I’ve got a podcast about that.

My top 5 useless bits of feedback as reported by clients. Tune in to my next videos where I’ll explore each one - what to make of it (other than put it in the bin) and how to avoid giving the same feedback yourself….

Is that one tricky work colleague going to live in your head this holiday, reminding you of what you’ve got to return to?

Not on my watch!

Download From Zoom to Zen - an intro to EFT that will help you let go of the work stuff so you can enjoy your holiday properly, and return genuinely refreshed.

Do you find it hard to stop and relax when it comes to the holidays?

I am MUCH better at pacing myself now, largely because I focus very intentionally on my energy management and because I have some degree of autonomy over my diary because I run my own business (though the energy it takes to parent exists regardless of your job situation!)

This crashing out when the work stops is such a thing, hat I recorded an emotional freedom technique sequence that you can download which helps your body, as well as that brain of yours, to understand it’s ok to take a break, it’s ok to rest, it’s ok to notch down a gear, easy does it.

Emotional Freedom Technique is the first thing I use if I find myself unable to sleep or fretting about things I know deep down don’t matter (like the handwashing when on holiday, or re-reading the guide book 12 times.)

My wish for you is that you have as relaxing, restful and rejuvenating a holiday as is possible for you to have.

so, you can have this download for absolute bargain price of FREE.

That’s right, download that relaxation for nothing, except 40 mins of a space where you can listen, tap and chill.

What’s tapping you ask? Well the cunning thing is, this download also serves as an introduction to that as well, so you’ll be learning a new tool to support your wellbeing as you go.

If you struggle to switch off or you know you spend the first 2 days of any holiday furiously on the go, not sitting still, or you suffer from insomnia, this is for you.

I don’t want to waste precious holiday time gearing down and nor do you, yet here we are! My holiday protocol involves a lot of processing the stress and stuff and to do lists and actions so I can shift my pace to relax.

The responsibility for managing our energy lies with us because only we know what the true priorities are as well as the cost of certain relationships, meetings and other draining things.

So let’s start by saying no to busy and pacy every so often and yes to space to listen.

What’s your little act of rebellion this week?

Most of us spend our time responding to what everyone else needs, wants or expects, especially if you’re a woman. (we live in a patriarchy so unfortunately it’s pretty inevitable.)

Before long, our diary is full, but the things that matter most to us have quietly slipped to the bottom of the list.

No one else can decide where your time and energy are best spent. Only you know what's genuinely important, and only you feel the impact of the conversations, commitments and relationships that leave you running on empty.

Maybe the bravest thing you can do this week isn't to squeeze more in. Maybe it's to leave some space.

Space to think. Space to breathe. Space to hear yourself again.

So here's a question:

What's one thing you're choosing not to do this week so you can make room for something that matters more?

What are you still carrying that’s shaping how you lead today?

Maybe it’s the voice of a former boss telling you that you’re “not strategic enough.” (I hear this one from leaders all the time.)

Many of us are leading through beliefs that were handed to us years ago. Comments made in passing. Outdated feedback. Someone else’s opinion that we’ve quietly accepted as fact.

But those stories aren’t fixed.

You get to decide which messages you keep... and which ones you leave behind.

That’s the work I do with my leadership coaching clients: helping them identify the beliefs that are holding them back so they can lead with more confidence, clarity and authenticity.

If you’re curious about what that could look like for you, send me a DM. I’d love to chat.
