I'm starting to love Anger I always loved that shot of adrenaline that anger gives me. That powerful kick that shoots me up to the stars. But I never liked the consequences much. Now, the last time I got angry, I felt all that energy in motion, and I said: I'm surfing this wave. And that’s how I achieved something I have kept trying for the last 6 years, in one week. What have you gained from anger? #Leadership #LeasershipDevelopment #Coaching

They know that to be the best at what they do, they need guidance, accountability, and support. Behind every medal, there’s a coach who helped shape that journey, pushing them through challenges and celebrating their victories. Contrast this with many amateur athletes in various sports - they often go it alone, without the guidance of a coach.

So, the question is: do you want to be a middle-of-the-road, amateur business person? Or do you want to reach the pinnacle of your industry and be the best you possibly can? Success doesn’t happen in isolation. Just like Olympians, we all need someone to push us, challenge us, and help us see our blind spots.

Gavin Weeks has written a wonderful piece about the journey to mastery. Watching the Olympics with his son made him think about his own sporting dreams, and reflect on the joy that we can all find in growth.    Mastery isn’t an achievement but a process, or journey, and one that is vital throughout our lifespan. Our focus might change but our love of learning need not wane.    See the full article in the link below. #leadershipdevelopment #thriving Tracey Camilleri, Samantha Rockey, Elly Kennedy, Debbie Risk

Although coaching isn't my primary job, I love making time to pursue my passion for it. There's something special about being on the field, working with players of all abilities, and seeing their growth and enjoyment. Moments like these remind me why I continue to stay involved—it's not just about football; it's about making a positive impact. Small gestures like this are the best kind of reward. #Coaching #Passion #Football #YouthDevelopment #PositiveImpact

Will this make the boat go faster? 🚣♂️ It's a question I’ve used with several clients this month, each in their own context. The phrase, borrowed from Olympic rower Ben Hunt-Davis and the crew on their quest for gold at the 2000 Games, became their decision-making filter. 🥇 Every action was measured by this one simple question. Does this 70-minute rowing session make the boat go faster? "Unfortunately yes"—then do it. 💪 Does going to the pub for drinks help the boat go faster? "Unfortunately" no—then skip it. 🍻 This clear focus aligned their actions with their ultimate goal. For my clients, it works in a similar way. The question becomes: Does this serve me and my goals? It's a powerful lens to keep them aligned with their next action step, no matter how small. What about you? What question can you ask yourself to ensure your actions are aligned with your goals? If you’re ready to make your boat go faster and achieve more, let’s have a conversation. Message me to explore how coaching can help you accelerate your progress. _______________________________________________________ Unlike rowing, beer does help banger cars go faster. At least that is the impression I had from seeing a few of the drivers between heats. #compassion #courage #resilience #leadership #performance
