“A Lot of People Think Coming Up with a High-Converting Challenge Topic Is, Well… a Challenge.” It doesn’t have to be. In my 5-Day Challenge, starting this Monday, I’ll show you exactly how to create your own irresistible challenge topic—and you’ll be surprised at just how simple it is when you know what to focus on. Here’s the key: ✅ Meet your audience where they’re at. When you truly understand their struggles and enter the conversation already happening in their heads, they’ll jump at the chance to join. ✅ Solve a real problem. We’ll work together to make sure your challenge delivers something your audience actually needs, so they’re excited to show up every day. ✅ Keep it simple. With over 7 years of experience, I’ve got the process down to a science—no overwhelm, no overthinking. Most people have their “lightbulb moment” by day two: “Wait, this is actually so straightforward. I already know what my challenge will be and what I’m going to teach!” That’s the first big hurdle, and it’s where most people get stuck. But in my challenge, you’ll move past it fast. By the end of the week, you’ll have a complete blueprint for your challenge—ready to engage your audience and drive results. 👉 The best time to run your first (or next) challenge? January to March 2025. It’s the perfect way to kickstart the year and build momentum. Join us this Monday. Click here to register: https://lnkd.in/eRsj-b5W. Let’s create a challenge topic that works!

When was the last time you allowed yourself to think about work? Actually zooming out - taking a breath above the swirling everyday demands of your to-do list, short term goals, how you’ll make ends meet - and reflect on just how much things have changed in the last few years? I thought I thought about work a lot. I sit and write some mornings, ordering my thoughts on the page, thinking about the day of work ahead. I draw a weekly ‘map’ to see my bigger goals. We schedule quarterly one to ones with the team, to make space for reflection, and see emerging rhythms. I read books about work. Listen to podcasts about work. It therefore makes sense I was attracted to a set of free online workshops promising to explore the world of work (especially as they are run by long trusted friends and colleagues). I have been delighted to find in these ‘Curious People’ sessions a new approach. A gentle and thoughtful space, putting ourselves as people back at the heart of the conversation, and alongside others. Hosted by The Curiosity Society, they make this look easy. Seemingly simple themes and questions actually carry great weight and meaning. For example during last Thursday’s session we were encouraged to share what we want to do more of. Such a simple question, but one I’ve not be able to think about for a long, long time. Supported to pinpoint that sweet spot of what we are well placed to develop, what we want to develop, and then to name it, we then cheered each other on to get stuck in. And so here I am, having a go. I unexpectedly found I would quite like to write more and share thoughts on my own learnings and experiences. This post might not be perfect, but it is done, and my thanks go to the Curious People. The next session, on September 12th, is about “Working with other people”. See you there? P.S. If you’ve got this far and you have any recommendations on books, podcasts or other content about work, I’d love to hear them…

The last few years have seen the 💼 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑟𝑎𝑝𝑖𝑑𝑙𝑦 💼 for many of us. We were, of course, ridiculously curious about this and wanted to explore the impact this can have on our personal and organisational lives. The upcoming series of 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 is open to everyone who wants to change, improve and reflect on how we can make work work for everyone.  Please join us and share with anyone you think would benefit from a little bit of time to meet new people and spend some time ON your work rather than IN it. 👇 All events descriptions and registration here 👇 https://lnkd.in/d5KbFKpu 👀 Sneak preview 👀 August 1 - CURIOUS PEOPLE: Seeing ourselves clearly September 12 - CURIOUS PEOPLE: Working with other people October 24 - CURIOUS PEOPLE: Building Bridges - Complexity and Conflict December 5 - CURIOUS PEOPLE: Self care and working from rest January 30 - CURIOUS PEOPLE: Procrastination Special February 27 - CURIOUS PEOPLE: Leading with Kindness

What would it be like if we 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 and stop pretending when we do not want to share? I believe that it would be useful for all of us to be better equipped at dealing with lack of trust and defensiveness in our environments. Starting to notice your own behaviour and the behaviour of those around you, do you 𝗼𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 that you; Sometimes 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱 that you agree, when you don`t? Sometimes 𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 to give honest and direct feedback? Sometimes 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 on offering your ideas? 🔹 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼 is to observe your own responses and if it is useful for the situation, share a little bit more than what you normally would do of what happens inside of you. 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴💭: "I don't agree with this but I don't want to be a troublemaker and say it." 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳🗣: "I notice that I actually do not agree with this and I want to discuss our opinions in this situation."

A brand new week is here, bringing with it fresh challenges and exciting opportunities! It’s tempting to want deliverance from whatever feels hard—at work, in your relationships, or in life itself. But remember, every challenge carries a hidden purpose waiting to be discovered. That’s where intentional clarity comes into play! 🔥 Instead of ASKING for DELIVERANCE FROM the problem, ACCEPT the DEVELOPMENT OF your purpose. 🤚🏽 Welcome to Intentional Clarity, one of the 9 Accelerators of the Momentum Mindset®️. This is all about reframing your challenges. Instead of asking, “Why is this happening to me?” flip the script and consider: 👉🏽 “What valuable lessons is this challenge teaching me?” 👉🏽 “How is this experience shaping me for my next opportunity?” Intentional clarity means seeing your challenges not as obstacles but as invitations to grow. It’s about retraining your mind to seek purpose in everything that is hard. 💡 Remember Romans 12:2: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Let’s practice that renewal this week by embracing the clarity instead of the chaos. This is how we can transform our challenges into stepping stones to our next level. ✨ To jumpstart your week, take a moment and reflect on the following: 🔑 Identify one challenge you’re currently facing? 🔑 How can you shift your mindset from chaos and frustration to clarity and focus? 💬 If you’re ready to tackle this week with purpose and clarity, drop a comment saying, “I’m starting with intentional clarity!” Let’s inspire and uplift each other! #MomentumMindsetbook #IntentionalClarity #NewWeekNewGrowth #Romans12:2 #PurposeThroughChallenges

As the week comes to a close, it’s a good time to step back and reflect. Whether this week was full of wins or brought some unexpected challenges, remember that progress isn’t always about giant leaps. It’s about the small steps, the lessons learned, and the relationships built along the way. Take some time to recharge and appreciate how far you’ve come. The journey is just as important as the destination. #EndOfWeekReflection #KeepGrowing #RechargeAndReflect
