Do you feel like you are being pulled down into the day-to-day and can’t find the time for the bigger picture strategic thinking and planning?

Do you feel exhausted, tired & overwhelmed, but also feel like you can’t leave your desk or take a break?

Everyone is extremely busy at the moment, but as a business leader you need to be super conscious of your own energy levels and your own priorities in order to balance the demands that are being placed on you.

In today’s video I explore the importance of building in regular ‘resets’ into your day in order to take a break, rest and recharge.

You need to be focused on filling your own cup up first. Otherwise, if you fall down or burnout – who is going to lead and guide those around you?

If you want to be able to function at your best, grow a successful team and business - then it is critical to create regular ‘resets’ in your day.

I hope you’re having an amazing week! 

With everything being so hectic and so busy at the moment, today I want to talk to you about the importance of leveraging your time. 

The reality is that you can’t do everything. And as a leader or business owner, you need to have your attention across all areas of your team or your business. 

That means you need to be across winning work, new business, client relationships, team performance, an aspect of project delivery, as well as the strategic direction and growth of your team or your business. 

You get it, “all of the things”. 

If you try to be deeply across all of the areas of your team or your business that I’ve just mentioned above and you try to take responsibility for all of these areas, you’ll simply blow up and burn out. 

So, if you want to be successful and grow a really profitable team and business, you have to get really good at leveraging your time.

Leveraging your time works in a number of different ways. Firstly it’s deleg...

Are you feeling incredibly frustrated that when you delegate something to your team, they just don't get it? 

Do you feel that no matter how much you try your best to explain things, it seems like you are not being heard?

Did you know that human beings need to see, hear, or do something 7 to 10 times before they actually get it and are able do it by themselves? 

So, if you are expecting that your team or the people around you will understand everything after explaining it once or twice, you will end up being VERY disappointed and frustrated. 

As a business leader, it is important for you to understand that human behaviour will play a big part in the growth of your business.

Having a mindset and an awareness that it will take you 7 to 10 times to explain something before your team actually gets it, will help you immensely. 

If you want to free yourself from some of your daily tasks, become a confident leader and grow a successful team & business – then it is so important that you ...

With the market as busy as it is right now, as well as there still being levels of uncertainty in our economy, building resilience is such a key skill for you to master. 

Now resilience is absolutely a skill that can be developed and learnt, but it requires a level of self-awareness, self-reflection, a willingness to get a bit uncomfortable and to take consistent action to build this skill over time.

You see, resilience is essentially the way at which you view life circumstances, life situations and what is happening to you or around you. Resilience is also then the action that you choose to take in response to adversity and ‘negative’ things happening to you. 

Let me tell you - if you get flustered, or overwhelmed, or want to bury your head in the sand and hide every time something doesn’t go your way, or a negative situation occurs in your day - then you aren’t going to be an effective leader and you aren’t going to be able to achieve the levels of success that you are aiming for....

Today I want to talk to you about a growth mindset concept called - If You’re Not Winning, You’re Learning. 

If you haven’t read it yet - Mindset by Carol Dweck - then I highly recommend this book as it’s all about adopting a growth mindset for yourself. 

A lot of us have learnt and have adopted a story within us that tells us that if we fail, then we are not good enough. We unfortunately tend to beat ourselves up when things don’t go to plan, we get hard on ourselves and down on ourselves, and this serves to reinforce a core or underlying belief that I’m no good when I fail or when things don’t go to plan. 

There is however, a completely different way to look at our failures.

And that is to look at these failures through the lens of - I’m either winning or I’m learning. 

And instead of beating ourselves up and getting down on ourselves when things don’t go to plan or things don’t work out for us, we instead choose to get excited that we are learning and growing. 

If we can shift...

I hope you’re having an amazing day.

Today I want to talk about why understanding your unique personality style matters.

Let me explain.

Recently I ran a training program for my clients in my Boardroom program. We are exploring at the moment how to motivate, inspire and influence their team around them to lead to greater levels of success for their team & business.

In this training, we explored the four different personality styles, what motivates each personality style, what drives and inspires each personality style as well as what demotivates each style.

The reason we are exploring this topic & concept is that so many leaders and business owners fall into the trap of assuming that they can lead everyone on their team, and everyone around them the same way in order to get the same results.

This is simply not true.

As I was walking everyone in the training through the four main personality styles, I made a comment that one particular personality style, called the Stabiliser per...

Welcome to the start of a new year! 

I’m sure you’ve got a million things running through your head in terms of what you’d like to achieve this year! And it’s awesome to have heaps of goals to work towards and it’s fantastic to have entered a new year with a level of energy and excitement towards what you’re wanting to achieve. 

A trap that many fall into so easily at the start of a new year is getting excited, writing down a massive list of goals and things that you want to achieve this year, making a start on everything and taking massive amounts of action, then getting super overwhelmed and burnt out and by March they’re not taking any action towards their goals and they’re back to doing the same old thing that they did last year. 

Today I want to talk to you about an amazing concept that’s been pivotal in my life and it’s helped my clients achieve the results and the success that they are looking for. 

It’s a concept called Simplify, Prioritise, then Execute. 

The reality is t...

I hope you’re having an amazing day. 

I’ve just finished reading Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink & Leif Babin, it’s an incredible read and I highly recommend it. 

In their book, they talk about a concept which is that there are no bad teams, only bad leaders.

This is a super interesting concept for me, and one that I want to explore with you a little bit more in today’s post. 

This teaching element is based on the premise that every leader and every business owner needs to take absolute and extreme ownership for everything that is in their life and for everything that occurs and happens around them. 

So, if a team member or an entire team is performing poorly or fails to hit a deadline or gets a terrible outcome on a project, it is actually not the team’s fault, but the leader or business owner’s fault. 

Instead of blaming or berating the team for what went wrong, we need to stop, pause and ask ourselves “how did I let my team down here”? Or “as the leader or business owner wh...

A topic that has come up a lot recently in my group coaching programs is how do you influence, motivate and inspire those around you to perform at their best. 

It’s a super interesting topic and one that has a number of angles to it. Today I want to explore with you one element or angle that makes a significant difference to being able to motivate, inspire and get the most out of your team and the people around you which is - Create A Community. 

You see many leaders and business owners fall into the trap or the assumption that just because their team and the people around them are working and have a job, that they’re automatically inspired and motivated to perform at their best all the time. This simply isn’t true. 

It is the role of every leader and every business owner to be looking for ways to constantly inspire and motivate those around them to continue to push themselves, to get outside of their comfort zone, and to perform at their best. 

This requires that you change your p...
