Actions speak louder than words. Day 1 already delivers concrete results.

How about that

This quote beautifully captures the essence of stepping out of one's comfort zone and embracing challenges. Ships are designed to sail the vast expanse of the sea, facing storms and uncertainties. Similarly, humans are meant to explore, learn, and grow by venturing into the unknown, even if it involves risks. Staying within the confines of safety might offer comfort, but it often leads to stagnation and missed opportunities for growth and fulfillment. #EmbraceTheUnknown #CourageToExplore #DiscoverYourPotential #ChallengeYourLimits #VentureBoldly #GrowthMindset #TuesdayThoughts

If we compare our present day situation with the world a century ago, we are actually living in a much better world (even considering climate change issues, conflicts etc). However, majority of us still tend to be unhappy about something in our lives. Negative emotions are important as they signal us there's room for improvement. But at the same time, it is essential to stay positive and happy in order to make those improvements. Check this video that gives few simple tools to be happier.

Do you work on your own a lot of the time. Do you find that it can be thankless work? Does it feel like people only really pay attention when things go wrong? But do you keep trucking on? You’re bloody resilient then. Kudos. And people are probably used to relying on you being tough. That was the message I got loud and clear from the people that organised #Scribefest in September. Because it IS easy to take resilience for granted and that’s exactly why it’s so important, firstly, to recognise and pay tribute to those people working away quietly in the background. And why it’s important to put a little bit back in. The video below is my contribution. Here I share some tips on how to stay strong, keep going and keep a smile on your face. Spoiler alert: it involves superhero pants. Please share with all the tough and resilient people you know - they might need it more than they (or you) realise. 😘 https://lnkd.in/d79qigRC #ceo #personalgrowth #leader #mindfulness #keynotespeaker #executivecoach #resilience #video

Breathe life into your organization with Inspiration and the AIR Element of nature! Inspiration energizes people and drives ideas. Unfortunately, many businesses still view inspiration as unimportant to the overall culture and profitability of an organization. Nothing could be further from the truth. In today’s world there is an oppressive apathy, some call it ‘quiet quitting’, that is chaining people to old ways or simply phoning it in without any passion whatsoever. Lack of enthusiasm can result in missed deadlines, stifled innovation, and inferior customer service. Poor service can quickly sever relationships you may have spent years cultivating. A negative culture can perpetuate a cycle of disengagement, making it challenging to attract and retain high performing employees. This all obviously impacts the bottom line! 💲 Infuse and embrace Inspiration as the necessity it truly is and create space for new ideas, solutions, and opportunities for your people and company. Creating an environment of inspired adventure liberates next-level thinking that can exceed all expectations. I recently started sharing these short videos to introduce you to the power of the elements. You’ve seen Earth and Water, and today’s is on Air. These clips are meant: 😁 To introduce a quick personal connection to me- who I am and what I value. 🍃 This one includes a couple brief clips of where you’ll see the AIR element in my keynote presentations. 🎈 And to suggest ways on how to incorporate the air element into the overall experience of your event. But remember the best way to figure that out is to hop on a complimentary zoom call to brainstorm!   I LOVE helping leaders cultivate flow in their own energy, within their team & company, and in ways that foster client connection and loyalty. If you are a leader interested in professional development and wondering how the elements of nature can guide you...check out our upcoming leadership retreat.

In the world of change and transformation, one fundamental rule reigns supreme: communication is vital. Before setting sail on any change initiative, it’s like navigating uncharted waters without a compass – we need to communicate the purpose and reasoning behind it loud and clear. When people understand the “why” behind the change, a spark of ambition ignites, and they eagerly jump on board, fully embracing the journey ahead. With a shared sense of purpose, the winds of change become favourable, and the crew steers confidently toward new horizons of success. #ChangeAndTransformation #CommunicationIsKey #NavigatingChange #ClearPurpose #ChangeInitiative #UnderstandingTheWhy Stellar Search LimeLitt

Inspiring TED talk from a fellow #StubbornOptimist- on painful meetings, love, control and how we can drive sustained and dedicated action for climate change. It's from 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, and it reminded me of that time, as the current UK Covid Inquiry is too, with such mixed emotions. What should have been done better, quicker, differently, and also the feeling of shared purpose, strengthened community and determined action to keep vulnerable people safe. Using hindsight to give us foresight - how do you find courage and calm resolve in the face of fear? The future is coming to meet us; how do we change the story? https://lnkd.in/gGEesAaP

Wilderness immersion and tribal wisdom can be powerful tools for facilitating shadow work and self-inquiry for leaders and their teams.

Our collective inaction to climate change or planet destruction is clearly grounded in economic reasons (think of the big powerful industries lobbying and bribing governments). However, there is even a deeper cause: the collective alienation, fragmentation, and disconnection with ourselves (in the first place) and the environment that we temporarily inhabit. As long as we do not become collectively aware of the psychic wounds that cause this disconnection - our collective and intergenerational trauma, our climate will not be an issue any longer, the survival of the planet will. #inaction #climate #alienation #disconnection #collectivetrauma #awareness #wakingup #sustainability #innerwork #innerdevelopment #destruction #selfdestruction
