15 Principles of Person Growth I Have Learned During My 15 Years of Working With Leaders

⭕️ You will never fully convince someone they are wrong, only reality can. Support them to expose their reality

⭕️ The place you most need to go is hidden where you least want to look. Get a coach, board, mentor and give them freedom to challenge you.

⭕️ There is no evolution without skin in the game. Evolution is often dependent upon facing your fears.

How to build a business that owns YOU

Whether you’re building to sell or building for profit or BOTH suffering your way to success is a process that has a lot of victims. You SUFFER because when you’re living a life you loath you experience the EXACT life you didn’t want for yourself along with your health, energy, mood, and relationships all suffering.

Your loved ones suffer as they get the worse of you as they get the tail end of your energy, the worst of your mood, the guilt of your suffering for them and the least of your time. Even your colleagues and the business suffer as the energy, enthusiasm and inspiration required to both operate and sell a business can’t be faked for long.

10 things that STOP people getting what they want that my clients don’t experience anymore

I absolutely LOVE working with leaders who are inspired to build something amazing while also uniting a group of people behind that cause. The truth is that they are highly competent individuals BUT in MOST cases the skills that got them to where they are are the exact same skills that are causing their struggles in health, energy, communication and relationship.

Through my REINVENTION programme I support them to adopt the skills of understanding and embracing their brain to use it more to their advantage. Using prediction and response to create calm in themselves and others and using curiosity to give themselves and others the clarity they need to become autonomous and happy.

The best way to make behaviour change impossible

It notices hormonal, postural, tonal and pitch changes in others and then changes how we feel in order to guide us towards making decisions that might save ours or even our children’s lives all without us being consciously aware of it.

Again, I won’t go into detail here but the important question I think is,

Is it more likely that this incredible piece of equipment is broken in some way, that we somehow have to contend with a lazy, demotivated, angry, shy, anxious, overwhelmed, depressed or stressed model?

There is No Such Thing As Negative People

There have long been stories from practitioners working in mental health clinics of anxious or depressed people carrying a particular sweet odour.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget we are animals.

Our senses are constantly on high alert for changes in the environment.

Detecting a subtle rise in testosterone in the group (smell) you are in could be the difference between a good and bad night today, years ago it might have saved a life or two I can imagine.

600 Coffee is in Copenhagen

Christina made this off hand comment to me while were skiing in France over Christmas

We were having that, are you going to make any New Years resolution conversation.

It sort of means, what would make next year better than this year when you think about it and I like that.

I had decided that I wanted to start growing my business in Denmark rather than just the Uk and I was unsure how I wanted to do it.

What I love about a crisis or the 5 things we need now more than EVER

Okay, first and foremost I am not making light here. I’m not suggesting that I am happy about what has happened. Neither am I suggesting that no businesses have fallen victim to the current or future side effects or what’s happening at the moment.

However, there were 5 things that were important before this that have now significantly increased in importance and that I believe is a good thing.

In fact they were ALWAYS the most important things but now and going forward their consequences will result in more rapid and undesirable feedback.

How I walked away from £60,000 with a smile on my face

A big part of the process of moving to Denmark was to sell our gym and health care business in the Uk.

I had no idea how to go about it so I contacted a couple of business sellers.

They all asked to see the last few years accounts as well as have all of my equipment valued.

They each came back with the same figure.

“We believe we can get you £180,000 cash within the next 6 month Sir.”
