How To Get Back On Track
I’m starting to get a little nervous. In less than 11 weeks I’ll be running my first marathon, and my training hasn’t been going to plan recently. I derailed over Easter, and with a injury that’s making it hard to walk at times, I’m starting to panic. But this morning I did what I do best, and now I feel back on track. Regardless of whether it’s an exercise goal, or a change you want to make in your career or business, it’s important to have a strategy to get on top of things when your best laid plans have gone to pot – here’s what I do…
Drop Your Expectations

If you’re building a career or business it’s important to know how to keep yourself moving forward despite the bumps in the road – here’s one strategy to help you on your way…

What can you do when you’ve run out of steam mid-week but still have a hefty to-do list to trawl through? Your energy levels are critical when it comes to completing complex tasks well and working productively, so knowing how to manage your get-up-and-go is really important. If you’ve hit a slump make sure you swot up on these simple tips to help lift your day….
Postive Thinking Is Out Of Fashion
We all know we need to quash negative thinking and be as positive as possible. It’s a nice idea, but often easier said than done. Being positive has huge benefits but when the proverbial hits the fan it can be really tough to remain upbeat, and even trickier to still get the important stuff done when you’re feeling down. So instead of trying to be more positive more of the time, I want to introduce you to the new kid on the block when it comes to thinking, and one you’d be wise to make your friend if you want to remain productive even when you mood tries to dictate otherwise…
Silence Is Power
We live in a noisy world which we’re plugged in to most of the time, from headphones and music to mobiles ringing and general chit chat. We’re used to the buzz, and experience comparatively very little silence, so when it comes to communication there can be a tendency to fill any gaps with more noise rather than deal with a possibly awkward lull. That’s OK if you’re just having a general conversation, but if you’re in the middle of salary or price negotiation it’s important to know when to stop…
Say Goodbye To Avoidance
How many tasks have you avoided doing this week? Dodging the things you don’t want to do can feel great at the time, but just like many bad habits, avoidance soon catches up with you and the results aren’t always pretty…
Sit On It
We live in an urgency addicted world. With text messages, social media updates, voicemails, and good old fashioned phone calls bouncing into our lives every other second most of us are constantly plugged in, and used to responding to requests at the drop of a hat. And that’s where one very big problem lies…

There are many elements that go into the mix to make a great career and life, but there’s one special ingredient that’s critical to success regardless of what you’re striving to achieve. Unfortunately for me, that key ingredient was missing last week and I didn’t like the outcome – here’s what happened…
How To Reboot Your Career
It can be really unsettling to feel as though you’re in the wrong job or career, but what’s worse is staying put and doing nothing about it. Whether you work full or part-time, work is a big part of most people’s lives and you definitely shouldn’t ‘make do’ if you feel unhappy. But what are the options if you’re not ready to make a move just yet?
Are You Guilty Of Groupthink?
Having the ability to be creative and courageous in the work place are attributes admired by many. Being able to stand up for what you think and go against the grain can be challenging, which is why it’s so easy to fall into the trap of being a group thinker, agreeing with the majority just to save the peace or keep the important people happy. But if you want to get ahead in your career or business it’s important to be able to challenge the status quo and have the balls to speak up, as well as being able to generate fresh, innovative ideas…
