⭐It's tomorrow! The next Mental Fitness webinar is ready for you to book your slot! ⭐

Join the free Mental Fitness webinar to find out more: 12:30-13:30 Tue 7th Oct (UK time).

Lots of connecting and learning this week!

Wednesday's event was the Oxford B2B Expo where I ran into old friends and chatted with new people too.

As an introvert, I really have to force myself to go to these things sometimes, but I'm almost always happy when I do, and I use that reminder to encourage me to keep showing up.

You see, the Saboteur in me will create all sorts of reasons why not to go, justifying keeping myself hidden and small. But when I quieten that voice and instead listen to the Sage in me, I find the courage, positivity and even joy in getting out there.

Then, guess what? It becomes a little easier each time. I'm creating new neural pathways with thoughts and beliefs that serve me rather than shrink me.

Big thanks to Emma Rundle and Lisa-Marie Mallier for reconnecting me with my marketing roots and giving me a great reminder of the importance of valuable, targeted messaging.

And if you want to create thoughts and beliefs that serve you, why not pop along to the next free Mental Fitness webinar: Tue 7th Oct at 12.30-1.30pm. Sign up here:

Yesterday, Bicester Vision hosted a session on AI for Business.

Cecile Hemery shared some insights on how leaders can be thinking about and integrating AI, and Steve Nicholls walked us through some impressive case studies of how organisations are pivoting to optimise processes and achieve success through the power of AI.

The thing that resonated with me most was to keep remembering that we need to know what we want first. What's the strategy? As a leader? As an organisation? Then, and only then, should we explore how AI can help get us there.

First strategy, then tools.

🌞 Side note: as I walked home in the glorious, warm, September sunshine, I felt huge gratitude that I was experiencing something no robot will ever truly feel - the warm sun on my skin, the buzz of new insights in my brain, the peace and gratitude in my heart. Hooray for being human!💛

I have loads of work to do, but I just wanna read! 📙☕

Anyone else ever feel like this? 🙂

It's times like this when I do well to tune in to my intuition. In this case - slow down, take a breather, find what feels good.

And, balance that with time-blocking. So, I'm gifting myself half an hour this morning with my cuppa and my latest read. Then, I'm picking back up on the work that needs doing.

Hoping this will send me into the weekend feeling a sense of completion for the working week, and like it wasn't all work work work. 👏

How do you like to close out your working week?

This week, I ran a Mental Fitness session for a group of entrpreneurs at the Perch Eco StartUp Club.

The session introduced particpants to the concept of inner Saboteurs - the voices of negativity that hold you back. Whether that's being too harsh on yourself, getting frustrated at others, or blaming circumstances for your lot in life. We all do it so some extent, building patterns of thinking that may or may not serve us.

We practiced a mindfulness technique to quieten the saboteurs. And we viewed a current business challenge through the lens of our inner Sage - that part of the brain associated with positve thoughts, calm presence, and clear-headed action.

The group left with increased awareness of what might get in the way of their business vision, and an opportunity to explore further in a one-to-one Saboteur Discovery Session.

If you would like to explore this for yourself, take the free, online Saboteur Assessment (positiveintelligence.com/saboteurs/) and then book in here for your Saboteur Discovery Session on Zoom: https://calendly.com/happinessexpress/saboteur-discovery.

Last week, I had the absolute joy of connecting with 16 fellow coaches at the first ever ICF UK MCC Retreat.

We were a representation of Master Certified Coaches, a credential held by only about 100 coaches in the UK.

Many of us shared the feeling that we'd worked hard to reach this mastery in our coaching career and sort of wondered, now what?!

Being the avid learners that we are, we've continued to grow our capabilities, taking new courses, and sharpening our skills. Yet, we continue to ask questions about the future of coaching, the role of AI, our guardianship of the profession. This retreat provided us the space to explore these topics and much more.

A huge thank you to Morris for hosting us so artfully, to Dent for all the hard work behind the scenes, and to the UK for making this happen.

🎉Do you take time to celebrate your successes?🎉

Or are you quick to rush on to the next task on your list?

As a leadership coach, I help clients go from 'I wish I was...' to 'I am...' and I encourage them to pause at key milestones on their journey to recognise the effort they've invested and the progress they've made. 🙌

We need to enjoy the ride, right? Otherwise what are we really doing here?

Last month, a 20-week leadership coaching programme wrapped up, during which I supported an EdTech Founder in her mission to boost GCSE Maths students' confidence, helping them unleash their best potential, while also focusing on their wellbeing.

At our final coaching session we had a smoothie party! 🍓🍌🍹

We toasted to the victories and reflected on the lessons learned, with the founder expressing, "It's been absolutely transformative, and I am looking forward to applying my learnings after the programme."

What a fantastic springboard for her next phase!
