    Body confidence, working smarter, showing compassion and the importance of self-belief – Key takeaways from the Life Lessons Festival

    17th February 2020 / Comments Off on Body confidence, working smarter, showing compassion and the importance of self-belief – Key takeaways from the Life Lessons Festival

    The Barbican Centre, London – 15-16 February 2020 It was the first time that I had ventured to a festival dedicated solely to the topic of wellbeing and I was bubbling with excitement at the prospect of listening to, and learning from, the array of high-profile speakers that were listed on the Life Lessons Festival programme. Before the start of my sessions I took the opportunity to head over to the Waterstones pop up shop where I picked up my free copy of Philippa Perry’s The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read (and Your Children Will be Glad That You Did). Being a bit of a bookworm it was…

    Beat procrastination and start accomplishing your goals

    6th February 2020 / Comments Off on Beat procrastination and start accomplishing your goals

    Just a few thoughts that run through my mind when I am tackling my task list for the week: I don’t mean to boast but I have become quite skilful in the art of putting things off! At times my goals just don’t seem like a big enough priority (I just know I want to achieve them someday…) or they are taking me out of my comfort zone, requiring that extra bit of effort and confidence on my part.  If you can relate to this then read on to discover what I found out when I attended a session on ‘How to overcome procrastination and boost productivity in order to…

    My day at a Possibility Retreat Note: This post contains no sponsored material or affiliate links and is based on my own opinions, views and experiences of carrying out the personal development activity described below.  Ever since I had heard about Pete Mosley’s work as a writer, speaker and coach who champions introverts I was intrigued to find out what kind of guidance he could provide to me, a self-confessed introvert, who, as far back as I can remember, has always struggled to be heard and has found self-promotion and networking all very daunting.  When Pete announced that he was delivering a Possibility Retreat in Manchester I did not hesitate…

    Ten Tips For Maintaining Progress Towards Your Goals

    24th January 2020 / Comments Off on Ten Tips For Maintaining Progress Towards Your Goals

    The beginning of a new year is typically a time when we start setting out our very best intentions for the year ahead (and beyond).  You may have even set some challenging, life altering goals and are on your journey to accomplishing them.  You really want to keep up the good work but then…life happens! Those routine tasks or chores get in the way, other things seem to take a greater priority or, at the end of a hard day’s graft, you just want to put your feet up and lose yourself in a bingeing session of TV and tasty snacks (you are only human after all and those TV…

    Keeping track of your goals: A step by step plan

    17th January 2020 / Comments Off on Keeping track of your goals: A step by step plan

    Hands up if you ever made a meticulous and well-thought-out list of goals or a personal development plan that you really really wanted to pursue and then months (or even years) down the line you come across it again having not done very much at all…hopefully this is not just me?! Note: This post contains no sponsored material or affiliate links and is based on my own opinions, views and experiences of carrying out the personal development activities described below.  Unfortunately, this was a pattern I fell into all too easily: producing wonderful plans at the end of various development activities I had undertaken and then putting the plans away…
