Ever wondered what motivation is and how to increase it?

This episode looks at areas that are within your control to improve your own motivation and to motivate others.

 Why you should be careful with incentives. 

The art of reflection to work out when you’re at you’re best. 

We are often so tough on ourselves that we don’t give ourselves a break - it is about recognising a setback and then making a course correction.

We are able to say to ourselves when thinking about other people’s behaviour, “tomorrow is another day.” We can extend that to ourselves and improve our self-care.

It is completely okay to allow yourself to regroup. 

Hear John Cleese’s method of getting your subconscious to solve your problem. 

Hear also about what Bob is learning from his training to become a Samaritan and how that’s got him really motivated.

Listen, comment, share, what is your method to motivate and self-motivate?

New Managers – what do they need? 

There are 55,000 plus vacancies for managers in the UK. Some people want to advance, but many don’t. Many managers have left their professions so new ones could feasibly be pretty clueless and unsure what to do. Most managers have had no training. We talk about received behaviour. 
How does ‘stepping into management’ really work? We look at how you manage people, work processes and clients. Can you be a coaching manager? Are you simply a manager or are you a leader? What’s the difference? Can you run a meeting? Can you present? Here are some top tips that help you begin successfully. Time to reset.

With the cost-of-living crisis continuing and prices increasing faster than wages who we employ and how we employ them is important.

It is also urgent for many industries and sectors. 


The great resignation has meant lots of people in their 50s have chosen to stop working, 1.5 million in the UK.  With that knowledge and experience disappearing, what are your options as an employer?

We look at people, character types, age versus experience and help you consider who should be joining you and your team, large or small.

We also consider the huge effect of Covid 19 and share some examples of people who no longer want to be ‘going into work’.

Is your organisation, Office first, Hybrid or Remote First? The answer to that also informs who and how you can replace or expand your workforce.

Tune in and come away with some ideas and at the very least some more angles to take into discussion with your colleagues, fellow owners or directors over who should be joining you right now.
