Today is a New Moon, a Planting Day

The perfect opportunity to plant seeds of an idea, to start something new

Small achievable goals

Like committing to drinking more water each day
Going to bed 30 minutes earlier
Reducing screen time

Small acts of kindness that have a significant impact on your energy and well

As a leader, you can’t run on fumes, especially at the end of the week

Nurture watch and wait
A little bit each day

The next full moon is May 31

Be patient
Set your pace for the next 15 days

Align with a natural growth of the moon as a marker to check your progress.

don’t let perfection, get in the way of action.

That Friday feeling…

As we head into the weekend, what’s your ‘win of the week’ been?

And a gentle reminder that rest and recovery is part of the working week

There’s power in the pause.
Take the time to enjoy your coffee

Happy Friday!

‘Think big’ is a popular rallying cry in business. 
Be bigger, better, bolder... 
 
However, it’s often the opposite when it comes to your mental health. 

Work can feel overwhelming, too much to do, too little time.

Left unchecked these feelings develop into the patterns of behaviour that lead to burnout. 
 
Breaking down tasks, taking short pauses are simple ways to reduce the feelings of anxiety. 
 
✨ May is Mental Health Awareness Month. 
 
Check in with individuals in your team. 
 
Instead of asking ‘how are you?’, try ‘how’s your day started?’ 
 
Model positive behaviour by taking regular breaks, especially a screen free lunch. 
 
Take small, actionable steps that enable people to feel seen and heard. 
 
Mondays can feel overwhelming.

Only you know what you’re physically and mentally capable of in the moment. 
 
Be kind to yourself. 
Start small, start simple, just start. 
 
You got this.

Be bold, be kind, be well - it’s the Full Flower Moon.

The name originated from the expression, ‘April showers bring May flowers’, a simple celebration of Springtime.

Enjoy the day and full moon energy! ✨

Monday… 

Where are you investing your time and energy? 
 
Feels like there’s a shift from throwing AI programs at the wall and seeing what sticks, to a more rounded approach that focuses on emotional fluency as well.  
 
Human skills like influence, adaptability and decision-making will have increased value in AI-era leadership; all qualities machines can’t replicate.

These skills have a foundation that’s built on trust and psychological safety, and leading with kindness plays a key role in creating these environments. 
 
My kindness prompt is this:

1. Where will your focus and attention be today?
Solely time based exercises or going deeper into building strong human connection with your team, peers and leadership? 
 
2: Set your intention:  
Think of a word or two to describe how this act of kindness will make you feel.  
Put it on a sticky or send yourself a meeting invite for later today as a reminder.  
 
3: Mondays set the tone for the week.   
Be kind to yourself.   
You got this.

How does kindness help creativity?

it can be hard to share our ideas and creative thinking for fear of being dinged or knocked back

Having a safe environment to share is an essential part of the creative process

I recently sat down with Emily Firth from to discuss the benefits of kindness, including what happens on a hormonal level when we give and receive acts of kindness

Watch the full episode on the TruthWorks YT channel.

Be kind today and give someone a different kind of Friday feeling!
