Welcome to 2022 (or beyond).

In this episode of Plan Positive I reveal my own Goal setting process.

I have used this for the past 16 years or so in both my personal life and professional and without exageration, I have seen some remarkable results.

From manifesting a six figure salaried job, through to developing and mentoring hundreds of people.

I know as an absolute FACT, that if you follow this process to the letter, you will have the success your looking for.

Should you have any questions, feel free to email me [email protected] or you can DM me on Instagram by searching for @Plan_Positvive.

Stay Positive.

When it comes to setting goals, universal speaking there are two main methods you can choose from...

1) STRETCH Goals
2) SMART Goals.

Whilst STRETCH Goals have typically been viewed as the gold standard, there is increasing evidence to suggest that SMART goals leads to a more happier and more ethical approach,

SMART being an acronym for:

• S pecific
• M easurable
• A greed upon
• R ealistic
• T ime bound.

But are they better? 

I hope by the end of this episode, you will have a clearer idea.

The Board of Directors (B of D).

If it's good enough for business and corporations, then its good enough for you and me.

We need to create a board of people that we can count on to give us support, guidance and advice.
As the CEO of the board, you have to make the decision as to 'who' will make the cut.

In this episode I touch on the 4 categories I use to make up my board.

1. The Sponsors
2. The Mentors
3. The Supporters
4. Those that stretch you.

Charlie DeGale.

Whenever I see his name, I cannot help but smile.

Charlie is a complete and utter bundle of positive energy and an incredible human being.

As a PT for the MetPolice in London, Charlie is no stranger to exercise, but shortly after turning 50, would notice a persistent cough.

Visits to his Dr and and Hospital would confirm the worst, he was diagnosed with Lung Cancer.
Various treatments and chemotherapy courses would ensue and after months and months of agonising treatment and surgery, would be given the all clear.

So with the news fresh in his mind, would decide to run a marathon (with chemotherapy drugs still in his system and a newly replaced hip).

Charlie has since raised thousands for Childhood Cancer Charities and is living his life to the maximum.

This Is Charlie Degale.

Burnout and stress!

It affects us all!

I recorded this episode around 4 weeks before releasing it and remained almost completely silent on social media during that time.

We have all had it and if you have yet to, at some stage you will!

Thats why I believe so passionately in finding and speaking with people that not only get you, but can also inspire and motivate you.

I was working LONG hours (and I do mean LONG hours) and during this conversation with Francesca, I had a thought…what’s it all for?

1001 miles per hour to nowhere will end up leaving you…in knowehere!

Francesca Blechnar is a coach and author.

On instagram you can find her by searching @wholisitcbodylife.

A delightful human being with a huge open heart and beautiful energy.

Burnout signs, coping with stress, how do we survive stress in the city…all topics we dive into.

This is Plan Positive.

Eating disorders are complex mental illnesses. Anyone, no matter what their age, gender, ethnicity or background, can develop one.

Thankfully help is only ever a phone call away.

In this episode I get to speak with Harriet Frew who is an eating disorder therapist.

Are there warning signs?

What kinds of eating disorders are there?

What help can you offer to people going through it?

All questions we cover in this episode.

Approximately 1BC, that’s one year before Covid.

I embarked on a journey of selfless acts and decided to raise money for charity.

Along the way I managed to interact with quite a few people from all walks of life.

The common theme being that we enjoyed exercise, and liked the idea of helping others.

So I decided to set up a group on Instagram called Plan Positive and invited anyone that appeared to run for anything further then a bus stop.

Every person that joined was completely selfless in their actions and one person was so infectious with her attitude to life and to being happy, that it was only fitting that I invited her on for a chat.

This is Leonie, AKA Pink trainers PT… and this…is Plan Positive.
