When you’re thinking about your next career move don’t think about what you want to ‘do’, think about how you want to feel.

My invitation to you this month is to decide how you want to improve your own leadership skills. If you’re in a role with no direct reports, don’t kid yourself into thinking that you’re not in a leadership role. People are watching and following.

 Self-reflection is FREE tool. You can use it (almost!) anytime, anywhere. Don't ignore the opportunity to self reflect, there’s value in it - I promise.

Before we launch into goal setting for a new year it's important to step back and reflect on 2018. There's learnings in there that will impact what you do this year - some things to repeat and others to avoid. 

As we head towards the holidays it’s worth reflecting on what you’re grateful for. As well as making you feel good, it impacts how you behave too. It’s hard to be annoyed with your other half if you’ve just remembered how much you appreciate them.

You've probably heard the phrase that you're worth (earning) the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. Does that ring true for you?

When we’re wrapped up in our jobs it can feel like they’re all consuming. They’re what you think about 90% of the time (or more?). They interrupt your sleep. They are shrouded with stress.

If you're not careful, you end up going through the motions. Working for years for the same company, in the same field, without really checking in to see if it's what you want. (If you ARE checking in and still love it, excellent work).
