We can’t become who we want to be by remaining who we are. It’s a funny old thing ‘change’, isn’t it? It can be uncomfortable, unwelcome, unwanted even, but we all instinctively know that we can’t live without it. There’s no life without change. So let today be the day we stop railing against it and, instead of using our energy to fight with the old ways, we channel that same energy into building the new. Join us in this episode of The Ripple Effect podcast to find out more.We would love to hear from you!

It’s nice isn’t it, when someone tells you how proud they are of you for what you’ve done, or for who you have become.And it’s interesting too that despite knowing the wonderful gift that this short phrase is to people, we rarely bestow it on others - in either a personal or professional context.Perhaps they already know.  Or perhaps they don’t.

Listening to the undertones, that’s the challenge. We all know that we should listen more and speak less. Not just to the words that are being spoken, but why they are being spoken.

Things don’t always go exactly to plan, but that’s OK. In fact, it’s more than ‘OK’, it’s essential.  If we don’t try, we’ll never win. Some of the greatest minds in innovation are unphased by failure, thinking of it rather as ‘learning a way that [something] doesn’t work’.  It might sound convenient, trite even, but it’s true. It’s an unbelievably empowering mindset, a resourceful strategy for this new VUCA world.  Join us in this episode of The Ripple Effect podcast to find out more.We would love to hear from you!

Win-lose, a tough, unrelenting strategy for life right? And win-win just seems like a cliché. This episode explores an alternative; a different way of thinking that gives you access to a different way of living. Life should never be about winning or losing, but rather winning or learning how to win the next time.  A tiny difference, but one that can make a huge impact on the way in which you can live your best life.We would love to hear from you!
