The good, bad and the ugly. Group coaching or 1-2-1? We've experienced them all. Can international coaching work? One of us doesn't like being told what to do or being held accountable, so coaching is more or less a no no... but hiring a consultant who will look at the individual business and the owner's preferences and tailor the service to them may just be the right solution. This podchat is a fantastic summary of business coaching and what to consider before jumping in.

Are you someone who is inspired by everything around you? One of us is. Or do you feel inspiration in certain settings outdoors? Do other people inspire you to do better, or form new ideas for yourself and your business? We're all very different with our inspiration - creativity - ideas... whatever your want to call it and, believe it or not, even an 8 foot tall bear can inspire!

The three of us have all had surgery - some elective and some emergency... In the worst case scenario there's been a complete change of business, but, in the main, surgery has led to slight adjustments to how we work for a short period. Illness can be slightly more disruptive if its sudden - particularly over the last couple of years!. What's your experience been like? (Sorry about the giggling - we do enjoy ourselves recording these podchats for you!)

We all love a good laugh, its good for our health. But why do people make jokes in the darkest moments? If people make fun of themselves is it out of insecurity or self-assurance?

Your age may well define your understanding of climate change. The younger you are the more you are likely to understand. We were once told to use as little electricity as possible - now we're told to power our cars with it. We were once told to buy diesel vehicles, now they're going to be banned. Do we really have the facts around climate change?

People can see you as being confident even when you feel like a nervous wreck! So, the question is... is confidence an inside job or just what others perceive of you?

Do you simply post what you want to on social media without thought, are you either careful because of what someone might think, or are you deliberately disruptive and controversial and not care what anyone thinks? Do you only post positive aspects of your life? Or do you show it 'warts and all'? Does how people perceive you matter?

You hear it a lot don't you. If you love what you do, it doesn't feel like work! And it's very true. But sometimes it's not what you actually do but the outcome for others that's your driver. And, if you're stuck in a job just to pay the bills at the moment, we give you our suggestions for changing your situation.

Jo and her mum have gone through a nightmare with a contractor at their new house. Clare had a nightmare with her caravan. How you handle situations whether business, personal, or material goods, will have a massive impact on your life and sometimes you have to stop punishing yourself because others have caused a situation.

Being in control of our own minds is so much easier than understanding what the latest software update is going to do... so why do we hear so often "its just who I am"... "oh you know what Im like". Well no actually. You decide your every action and so keeping your mind positive, fresh and updated is essential.
