F**k It: The Ultimate Spiritual Way by John C. Parkin is a game-changer for those seeking a fresh perspective on managing stress. This unconventional yet profound book invites you to let go of the pressures and anxieties that come with high-level decision-making and embrace a mindset of liberation and surrender.

Parkin's philosophy encourages leaders to release control over things beyond their influence, fostering greater clarity and balance 🙌

When the stakes are high, this book serves as a reminder that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is just say “F**k it” and focus on what truly matters.

Are you staying in your own lane? Those who lean over the fence add more value.

Being part of a team and successfully working with others involves collaboration and understanding.

The team coaching I offer improves collaboration and ultimately, adds greater value to the business from the contributions of your people.

When they can work better together, they become much more than the sum of their parts. Get in touch if you'd like to have a conversation!

One phrase guaranteed to create anxiety is "we need to talk." If you plan to have a difficult conversation with someone, try and avoid saying this.

Instead, give them advance notice of the topic you'd like to discuss with them in a clear and neutral tone.

Offer an idea of what questions they might be asked or give them a clue about the nature of the information you'll share with them.

Start your conversation with no grey clouds looming.

This client identified the need, during our coaching sessions, to move on to somewhere new and eliminate things that don’t serve their core values and targets 👏

What is leadership to you? Is it about empowering your teams to succeed?

Observing, asking questions and offering support where it's needed, both professional and personal?

Is it about working together as a unit, leading each other?

Step up and lead. Start by leading yourself.

Closed doors and diversions can prevent you from pursuing something not meant for you, and guide you to better places.

Think of a situation that is a source of frustration for you at the moment. Where is the opportunity or gift?

Personal happiness and professional success are deeply intertwined. The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin is for anyone looking to enhance their well-being and career satisfaction.

Rubin's year-long journey toward greater happiness is filled with practical, actionable strategies to help you cultivate more joy, purpose, and fulfilment in your everyday life - qualities that naturally lead to a more positive and productive career.

What I love most about this book is how Rubin breaks down happiness into achievable monthly goals, proving that small, consistent actions can lead to big changes. The Happiness Project provides a roadmap to boost your energy, productivity, and outlook on both work and life.

It’s an inspiring reminder that when we invest in our own happiness, we can thrive in every area, including our professional lives.

Are you happy? 📖

The moment you decide to take control of your career, everything changes. The search for a new role can be overwhelming, but it’s also an opportunity to find a job that aligns with your true passion and purpose.

The job market is constantly evolving, and so are you. Whether you’re looking for a new role or ready for a complete career transformation, the choice to grow through change is yours.

Are you ready to soar? I'd love to hear from you.

In a world that glorifies hustle culture, it’s a good idea to step back and ask, “What makes me truly happy?”

Work-life balance isn’t about doing it all - it’s about finding time for what matters most to you.

When your work supports your happiness, success follows naturally. What small step can you take today to bring more balance into your life?

Change can feel daunting, especially when you’re searching for a new role and there are so many things still unknown. But what if the unknown holds the key to your next big transformation?

Sometimes, the leap you're afraid to take leads you right where you’re meant to be. Your new beginning is waiting; you just need to trust in the journey.

If you need a coach who can guide you through this process, I'd love to hear from you! Lisa.

As a coach, I often encourage clients to adopt a mindset of continuous growth and transformation. Good to Great by Jim Collins is a valuable guide for anyone seeking to elevate their career from "good" to truly exceptional.

The research-backed insights provide a framework for greatness, emphasising discipline, humility, and focus.

If you're navigating a career transition or striving for leadership roles, the principles of Level 5 Leadership, the Hedgehog Concept, and the Flywheel Effect will resonate. These concepts help you think strategically about where to channel your energy and how to maximise your strengths.

If you can step into empathy, you can resolve almost anything. It is the leadership superpower.

Stepping into empathy requires you to step outside of victim mode. What makes this hard is that a lot of the time, we don't even realize we are in it.

As leaders, it's easy to have empathy for the people we manage. It's harder to have empathy for other leaders and people above us whose actions affect us. Try it out.

What problems do you have with your boss? With a colleague? With someone who is causing problems for others? What would empathy look like? If you imagine this person is trying their hardest, what changes for you?

What other phrases do you hear great leaders say? (via John Castro)

It's not easy being different.
👉 As a female in a male-dominated profession/investment club/golf flight.
👉 As a foreigner in a US Headquartered multinational or a Swiss-based bank.
👉 As a working mother when the social norms in your community make you feel like a “Rabenmutter” and childcare is extremely difficult to obtain or pay for.

It takes courage and perseverance.
Be strong.
Stick to your values.
Work to your strengths.
Be authentic.
Be you.
