When I was about 16 I went to school in Yorkshire and we went to London on a history trip. And the great excitement about that trip was not the history lectures we were going to but the fact that a small group of us were going to cut loose (sorry, school) and go to the Hard Rock Cafe in Piccadilly.

What really sticks in my mind was a badge or pin that she was wearing with the Hard Rock logo. It said: LOVE ALL, SERVE ALL

Now I am older, and probably because I am a coach, it comes to mind often. Love all, serve all.

Listen to this week’s episode to find out what how I now interpret Love All Serve All and how I try to live by it

Did you watch the HBO show “Succession”? Don’t worry, no spoilers here if you haven’t yet watched the grand finale but suffice to say, I thought it was fantastic!

For those who haven’t watched it, it’s a series about a big media mogul, Logan Roy, and his grown-up kids and it charts their battle to succeed him as CEO of the company Waystar RoyCo.

The series shows kids who have grown up to believe and follow their father’s purpose - build a company and make money - rather than ever getting a chance to figure out what their own purpose is. The kid's measure of success is who gets the top spot in this company. No matter if they’d enjoy it or find it fulfilling. 

So, what does this have to do with you?

Well, I’d invite you to think about your own purpose: “the reason for which you exist”.

If you are not clear on this, listen to this week’s episode to find out what questions to ask yourself to find your purpose.​

I saw this quote the other day as I was scrolling and loved it:

“A diamond won’t shine at the bottom of a cave.”

Along with it was a story about an old car that was valued differently by other different sets of people. If the car was to be pawned, it was practically worthless because it was old and rusted, but if the car were taken to a vintage car rally, it would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars because they could see and appreciate its true value.

Sometimes we are that diamond and find ourselves in an environment where no-one sees our worth. It doesn’t mean

Are you a ‘people pleaser’? And if so, what’s wrong with pleasing others?

I often hear people say, ‘I’ve got to stop being such a people pleaser’ like it’s a problem.

And I think it can be.

There’s a difference between helping others and making them happy as a result and being a people pleaser, running around doing everyone’s bidding all the time and furiously nodding along to whatever they say (I exaggerate for effect!)

Listen to this week’s episode to find out what to do if you recognise yourself as a ‘people pleaser’.

In this episode I explore ‘Purpose’ - Purpose is the reason for which something (or someone) exists or the reason you do things.

For my dog Purdey nothing makes her happier than retrieving a ball and for Fiver, he loves scampering about the undergrowth or woods searching for stuff. You never see either of those dogs wagging their tails as furiously as when they are doing those two activities.

So what about you -

What makes your metaphorical tail wag furiously?

What do you most love doing? And is it in your life? If not,

·      Fear of disagreeing with the crowd and being ostracised;

you to think about ‘feeling the fear and doing it anyway’

I’ve been humming Sinatra’s song ‘My Way’ especially that line...

‘Regrets, I’ve had a few, but then again, too few to mention.’

And it got me thinking about regrets. Regrets are something we all have.

Let’s face it, it’s hard to go through life always making the right decisions, never putting a foot wrong, always doing the right thing and making the right choices.

·       Regrets can be wistful about what could have happened.

·       Regrets can be painful about what should have happened.

·       Regrets can be a thorn in your side if they involve choices that didn’t end well.

​If you have regrets that haunt you, listen to this episode on tips on how to deal with it

How good are you at taking a compliment? Terrible?

Do you bat it off, push it away, deny the truth of whatever is being said or go to great lengths to explain exactly why you are actually undeserving?

I think people equate accepting a compliment as being self-congratulatory and not many people want to be perceived as a show-off or big-headed.

But there is a difference between being a show-off and being proud and acknowledging your achievements.

It’s something that comes up a lot in coaching - people want and need to be able to sell themselves but don’t want to feel like they are showing off.
