Who else has spotted these memes all over social media about how January is such an endless month? Are you feeling the same way? Or are you wondering what they’re complaining about, because January is flying by in a flash and you’ve still got things you want to get done before January 31st? I posted […]

Fear of Visibility?
Have you ever wondered what is holding you back from really going all out and playing massively big with your business? Could a fear of visibility be a part of the problem? I’m sure it does also affect men, but it is women I hear talking about it. The fear of being too visible and […]
International Men’s Day 2019
I spent most of today at Plymouth’s first International Men’s Day Conference. To say I felt energised by the end of it would be an understatement – I actually felt a little bit high!

Our Lives In Their Hands

These are two wonderful things that should be celebrated without needing to overlap. They each deserve their own day, preferably at least a month […]
Procrastinators, Leaders of Tomorrow
September 6 is apparently Fight Procrastination Day. I love that such an awareness day exists, and not just because I have a T shirt with Procrastinators: Rulers of Tomorrow proudly emblazoned across the chest. The very same T shirt in this 7 year old photo, that I wore that day in August 2012 and haven’t fitted […]
