Turn Adversity On Its Head

Turn Adversity On Its Head

Adversity… it is one of those words, isn’t it? One that we hope we will not ever face, or deal with; mostly, because we fear adversity, it scares us.

And, yet, adversity is part of our life, our business, our organisation. It happens to all of us, and in this article, I want to focus on how to overcome it, taking a look at a series of factors, from beliefs to passion! Read the rest of this entry »

7 Strategies To Control Your Thoughts (and not the other way around!)

7 Strategies To Control Your Thoughts (and not the other way around!)

Our mind does not often switch off (and, by the way, that is a good thing!) We think, and we think a lot. This is something we do naturally, and I want to focus on this as it is critical for you to learn how to control your thoughts as opposed to your thoughts controlling you.

What happens when something happens? You start thinking, right?, and when that something is bad, you start thinking bad, right? Read the rest of this entry »

4 Steps To Push Through Your Fears

4 Steps To Push Through Your Fears

I have fears.
You have fears.

Simply put, we all have fears.

I wanted to start by sharing this truth, because, there seems to be this misconception that successful people, successful business owners, successful executives, successful leaders, do not have fears. This is false. We do, but (yes, there is a but), an important distinction: it is not that we do not have fears, it is that we’ve learned how to face and embrace them!

Every time you aim towards reaching new heights, you will encounter fear. Reaching that next level requires you to take a leap of faith: whether it is leading your own business, leading your team, or leading yourself. Read the rest of this entry »

Tackle Your “Why Me” Moments in 5 Strategies

Tackle Your “Why Me” Moments in 5 Strategies

Have you ever asked yourself these questions?
“Why me?”
“Why does this happen to me?”
“Why does this always happen to me?”
“Oh Why, Oh Why me?”

You have, right?
Come on, be honest, I have.

I believe we all have. I also believe that some people do it a lot more than others (and that’s where this blog comes in handy!) We mostly ask ourselves these types of questions when things happen, when things go wrong. And, here is the thing: things happen all the time; they happen to you, they happen to me, they happen to everybody; always have, always will. So, where does it leave us? In a very powerful place, if you leverage these things, the stuff, the s… (!) to the best. Read the rest of this entry »

Lights, Camera, Action!

Lights, Camera, Action!

Have you loaded your clapperboard yet?

This is a critical question, and only you, as the clapper loader, have the answer and power to make it happen, so, have you?

Last week, as I stood on stage, and thought to myself, “That’s a wrap” (I had just led my last live event of the year), I got inspired and wanted to share this with you this week. Before being able to say “That’s a wrap”, there is a very important step, and whether you have been on a movie set or not, you know about it; that step is accomplished by the clapper loader, who both marks and operates the clapper board, and says “Action!”.

And, let me start by defining what I am talking about ;-)
