December is a strange time of year.
On the upside, you might be starting a new job in January, or making a splash on #smallbizsatUK
On the downside, you might feel you are getting nowhere in life.
Whatever the next few weeks have in store, remember:
You
Are
Good
Enough
Don’t let anyone say otherwise as you get ready to change!

Welcome to Men’s Health Month and a focus on getting better outcomes for men everywhere
Why is this attention necessary?
Because, often in growing up men learn to ignore important health and wellbeing issues – Big boys don’t cry, remember
However, without examination these issues can be deadly. That’s why it is important to focus on open health and wellbeing conversations in #movember and beyond
So, let’s do that, shall we?
November is almost here again, so Movember must be close by.
Movember is the point in the year where men’s physical and mental wellbeing is centre stage.
We should remember that men are a diverse group and some men have more physical and mental challenges than others.
This fact means November is a great time to reach out and get the support to which you are entitled. That is especially true if you were told to man up as a child (because men don’t talk about what is going on behind their eyes).
What is your next priority requiring support?
This #WorldMentalHealthDay advocates for positive action in crisis situations.
Doing the right thing in everyday situations also matters.
What does that mean?
Prioritising our own wellbeing.
Supporting others’ health.
Embracing mindfulness

3 Benefits From Being Coached
Summer is over. Now we can focus on our goals for the rest of the year.
If our focus is our job, what do we want to accomplish next? When we succeed what will that feel like?
If we are studying, how will we get the support we deserve to achieve our results?
Here’s a question, if it is time for a change. What problems will our skills need to solve if we want to earn our income in a new way?
Whatever our situation, coaching support can help us with work, study, or entrepreneurship goals. Follow the link to start thinking about your support needs.
An idea for International Friendship Day and beyond
Friends are great sources of information when it comes to trying new products and services.
They help us know what is available and if it is any good.
We get to Trust new experiences, in part, because our friends know what we Like.
So, it is always worth asking friends for suggestions before spending time and money trying to fix a problem.
Inequality gets in the way of wellbeing.
Especially wellbeing in the lives of unpaid carers, people who choose to make time to look after others.
More equality makes carers’ communication easier; delivering care more straightforward; and life more balanced.
In #carersweek those goals matter.
Stay tuned for more content about carers week.
Every Aspect of A Coachee’s Experience Is Welcome
The most powerful part of coaching relationships is how they support the coachee’s progress regardless of any #intersectional factors which could hold them back otherwise. All of the client’s life experience is welcome during those conversations.
For instance, in May mental health awareness is topical, so is opposing discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation. Coaching the whole person means putting everything on the table and deciding what helps or hinders growth.
Feel free to find out what coaching support is available for you at the 23rd of May event in London shown via this link https://tinyurl.com/4mf3jfwb – see you there!

Nearly all of us serve someone else, in our 9 to 5, or as boss of our own side project.
Whatever we do adds value to our clients’ day and hopefully means we feel our day has been a #success .
What else contributes to that feeling of success?
To paraphrase Arnold #Schwarzenegger In his book ‘Be Useful: Seven Tools For Life’, the key to a happy and successful life includes
Knowing where you want to go
And how you are going to get there
As well as having the willingness to do the work along the way.
These sound like the principles of a SMART goal which would help any business or personal journey. The principles wouldn’t be set in stone, but adaptable to the changing circumstances we run into along the way.
When we reach our destination we might not win an award, but we should feel good about having got there.
