Write down your to do list each morning and arrange them into the most important/most urgent/best left until later. Start your day with movement & incorporate it throughout your day. Keep an idea journal and develop an action plan from it once a week. Recognise your successes and don’t disqualify them. If you are feeling [...]
Remember that an efficient and focused eight-hour day will always produce better outcomes than an inefficient and unfocused twelve-hour day. Busyness doesn’t always equate to effectiveness. Audit your time and consider where you are getting the return for your efforts. Consider too your personal environment and how it effects your performance. Your environment can in [...]
I'm extremely fortunate to work with great people! Business owners, global executives, start-ups, SMEs and multi-national organisations. So too, all sorts of teams in both business and sport.

Most individuals, teams and organisations gravitate towards staying in their comfort zones. Sure why not? It’s easier, it’s non-confrontational, its…safe! But that’s why most individuals, teams and organisations are average in terms of their level of performance. Excuses for not achieving more are normally attributed for them to external factors with little sense of self [...]
Do you have dreams? In truth, most of us do and aspire to be more than we are today. But in order to make progress in fulfilling these dreams, goal setting is crucial. Goal setting and achievement is one of the most common themes that I come across when providing coaching to individuals and teams. [...]
Long before I formally studied leadership, coaching and performance, as a sports obsessed child I would instinctively break down the different components of my game each week and carry out a self-assessment after each match. Handling 7 out of 10, kicking 6 out of 10 etc. I would then work obsessively each and every day [...]
