🫠🫠 Could I be bothered? NO! 🫠🫠

Did I do it anyway? YES! 🔥

The 6am gym sesh this morning was not particularly appealing…

Despite the little voice saying I could stay in bed, have an extra hour, I got myself there, committed and just did it! 💪

And now I feel accomplished! 🙌

Achieved something at the very beginning of my day. My mindset to keep going and crack on has kicked in! 💥

That's the thing. We don't always feel a massive surge of motivation to get stuff done. Having discipline and being able to identify the benefits of doing the stuff that might feel draining for us, can make all the difference.

We nail stuff like this in my Strengths Coaching. Because this Strengths stuff isn't about toxic positivity. It's about being real and doing it anyway! 👏

Fancy a brew to see how we can help you and your team to understand how you can use this Strengths Coaching, to now only get stuff done, to feel the accomplishment once you've smashed it! 🤝

Virtually or in person. DM me or you can see when we're both free in my calendly in my Linktree in bio! 👆

For full disclosure, this photo is not from this morning. It is at my fab EveryBody Fit gym though! ❤️🖤

🤔🤔 "You just do it, don't you?" 🤔🤔

I hear this a lot during Strengths Coaching Sessions. People taking for granted that things they do (including values they have, ways in which they behave), are universal.

The thing is, they're not, are they..?

So when Coachees are talking about what they do, as though everyone does it, they are really devaluing what they offer! 🫠

My response goes along the lines of, "you do. That doesn't mean everyone does it. It's a measure of your standards". 🔥

We delve into what this says about them, how they are positioned to bring something that not everyone else does. 🙌

What value this adds to them. I encourage them to celebrate this. To think about how they can share this with others. 👏

Many people are modest. Might squirm a bit. I let them. Then we come back to it.

What might you be overseeing in the value you offer? Maybe take a pause and have a little think about it.

It might make all the difference! Why not share? I'd love to know! 🤩

😳 I was nervous this morning! 😳

I know! Me! Nervous! 😬

I facilitated what I can only describe as a fantastic workshop with a group of incredible people! And I am feeling so humble!

This was a bit personal for me…

When I came into business, one of the first Charities that I connected to, through the fabulous Kelly Love, was Galloways. Galloways is close to my heart because I remember how well they supported my nanna who was blind. And an absolute do-er! Didn’t let anything stop her! 🔥

So I was nervous this morning as I wanted to make sure it landed right. That my communication style was fully accessible to everyone there…

I can see well. I learn massively through visual means. I write things down and see them to process. Would I resonate with the group when I use lots of visual language? 🤔

Anyway… it would seem the answer is yes! 🙌

The group took what I was sharing and turned into animated discussions about themselves. Using the Brand Me concept they explored what they bring to their roles! How they communicate that! 😁

The shared mission that they want to raise awareness of sight loss and make sure that anyone experiencing sight loss can reach out to them! 👌

I loved one person sharing that they want to leave someone in a better state than they found them! What a way to look at their role! Like be more this! 🫶

There’ll be more to come from this fab bunch I’m sure! 🧡

Thanks for having me Joseph Gardiner! And massive appreciation for your support Kait Leeming (ACIM, MCIOF)! 🥰

🙌🙌 Relaxed, relatable, real! 🙌🙌

This is how I'd describe Sarah Griffin and the Smile Mediation Conference on Friday 😁

Fantastic speakers Diane Nicholson, Hajra Sardar, Rebecca Bryant OBE, Lisa Edge, Dave Scholes and Afrasiab Anwar MBE! 👏

All bringing their stories and learning for you around the theme of connection! 🫶

Particularly huge shout out to Rob Saxon and Alana Jones, Student Governors at Burnley College for sharing what connection means to them! We're in good hands for the future with talent like these two! 🤩

What a great opportunity to make new connections too! Lovely to spend some time getting to know you, Dominic Stanger, Helen Turner and Holly Bonfield! 🤝

And of course, we know I love my scran! The food put on by Burnley Football Club Conference & Events was the best dinner I've had in a loooonnggg time! 😋

Last but by no means least, incredibly well done Ella Regan for pulling all this together. It ran seamlessly! Looking forward to next year already! 😁

✨✨ Be a realistic optimist! ✨✨

Wow! Action for Happiness, today's Optimistic October task could not be made any more for me than this is! 🤩

Life has some hideously tough s**z going on at the moment! As someone who is very much energised by Optimism, I'm in some uncomfortable territory. 😔

Being optimistic, doesn't mean ignoring the dark stuff. It means being able to focus on the good stuff too. There is always a glimmer somewhere. 🕯️

For me, it's being grateful for the things that I do have in this moment.I have an incredible gorgeous girl, amazing brothers and sisters who I love like a lioness with her cubs, brilliant friends who are here for the crap! 🫶

What can you be realistically optimistic about today? 🤔

Come on, do share, make me smile! 😁

It'll help get me through! 🙌

Oh and go take a look at Action for Happiness's page for their Optimistic October Calendar! ❤️

✨ This music def reflects yesterday’s tempo! ✨

We’re an energetic bunch us Preston Growth Business Hubbers. Yesterday seemed to invite us to be much more reflective on our energy! 😊

We spent a bit more time getting to know what makes us tick, with question cards. The added layers we get to see really do help us know who we’re doing business with! 🤝

Our ‘fireside chat’ guest (no expense spared with our graphics) was Julie McAvoy. One half of the duo that makes up Unity PEOLC💜

Julie stole everyone’s hearts. Still working full time as a District Nurse and Paramedic, Julie and Ruth provide transport to allow end of life wishes to be granted. Started by seeing a gap in end of life care and having the passion to fill it, what they do is exceptional! Reuniting a terminally ill mother and daughter in different hospices, to allow them to say goodbye. Taking a football fan to their last Liverpool match. A mother to get son’s wedding! 🥹

It’s no wonder they’ve been presented national awards by Ben Shepherd and Kate Garroway! 🤩

The CIC is new and there’s lots of business stuff that Julie and Ruth need to get their heads round. Funding, how to get a new specialist converted vehicle, having the time to develop the service alongside full time work…

If you can think of ways in which you might be able to help Unity PEOLC to develop their business, please do reach out to them! Bear with, if it takes a bit of time for them to respond! This is currently a passion project on the side of demanding jobs! 🫠

And def give them a follow and share this post to get the word out! 🔥

🦓🦓 What do zebras symbolise? 🦓🦓

I love the zebra. Stunning animal. Striking. Really stands out. Ironic really, when their stripes actually help them to camouflage!

My friend Kim Antrobus, gave a fab talk about standing out as ourselves last week, dressed in a zebra onesie! Loads of fun, humour, warmth and some singing. Really cracked me up! Yet such a serious point about how we show up unapologetically as ourselves. Her reference to how we can sand down the bits of us that people can’t tolerate, really struck a chord… 💭

I decided to ask the t’internet a bit more about zebras.

One search engine tells me they symbolise ‘balance, duality, individuality and community unity’. Oh how I love a contradiction. Balance and duality together. Doesn’t work on paper does it? Yet it does! 🙌

I have lots of conversations that explore this very concept. I use the Strengthscope tool in my work. Highlights the amount of energy we got from 24 Strengths on a wheel. They are in 4 separate areas, Emotional, Relational, Ex*****on and Thinking. You are not defined by any of these quadrants, you will have energy in each. Individual Strengths in each quadrant might also look massively different. So whilst one of the Emotional Strengths, Optimism might give you bags of energy, Courage, might feel as though it sucks the life out of you! The Thinking Strength Efficiency might set you alight, Self Improvement might feel as though it puts you to sleep! 🫠

What’s key, is how we understand our Strengths show up for us and what they mean for how we do life, so that we can achieve balance, just like the stunning zebra! 🤩

It’s ok for us to be contradictory. We’re human beings. Simple yet complex. Having space to explore this stuff helps us feel confident with the nuances. Being more zebra!

And just to share, there’s another reason I love the zebra. They are the symbol for ‘rare diseases’ and associated with Myhrer Syndrome, which my nephew Blake has. He’s a stunner too! 🥰

If you’d like to explore the balance and duality of your Strengths then please do get in touch and we can get a brew! 🫖

Just fire me a DM to sort! 📲
