  • HOW WALKING CAN IMPROVE YOUR BRAIN’S HEALTH

    I’m feeling very virtuous, right now, so I’m simply confessing from the outset that this post is more about me than it is about you!!

    We’re blessed with some incredible parks in the town where I live – literally an embarrassment of riches. A few of them are listed among the UK’s best parks.

    So, as we can’t as easily sit & natter in coffee shops in a pandemic, I’ve been doing my networking walking & talking, hot beverage of choice in hand, in our town’s most majestic park, just yards from my town centre office.

    I had another wander & natter with one of my oldest suppliers earlier today.

    Stunning. We connected over design for print many, many moons ago (she buys print) but today we were talking about my new resilience coaching/speaking business, philosophy, psychology, marxism, racism, capitalism, trauma, & more!

    In all the years I’ve known her, I had no i…

  • HOW TO GET HARD THINGS DONE – & NOT QUIT

    Ever felt resistance doing anything hard?

    I used to be very overweight as a very young kid. My mother was from the school of thought that a well-fed child was a healthy child!!

    So when my Dad asked me if I wanted a bike & I said no, he couldn’t get his head around it & started to give me some real grief.

    I eventually pushed past that fear & learnt.

    But such self-limiting beliefs – sometimes running on a loop in our subconscious – often shoulder charge us away from things we can actually do, & trip us up as we reach for things we actually want.

    Everything worthwhile we want is usually on the other side of hard things.

    So if you want to get out of your own way & get some hard things done, do join my ’WE ARE GIANT’ Clubhouse today.

    You’ll get…

    • I run a weekly conversation on the social audio app Clubhouse every Thursday, 8pm UK time (3pm EST) where I talk about how we can be more GIANT when facing tough times.

      To be more GIANT (to be bigger inside than life is outside) takes resilience – the promise of the human spirit to be able to face down change, challenge & complexity & still move forward faithfully & optimistically.

      And GIANT exists to help you make good on that promise by helping you to harness some key emoti…

    • Hi Rob, I think it’s easy to let things that you’re not as confident in limit you if you’re not being proactive in unlearning certain thoughts- definitely something I’m working on!

      • Too right, Ella. It’s why I have coaches, accountability partners & am in mentoring groups. As an independent creative, I’ve spent so much of my career processing my thoughts in silent solitude, I never discovered the benefits of doing it out loud in company, & gleaning the benefits of different perspectives & insights…

        • Completely agree, I think that’s why it’s important to have a good community support system around you, especially as a portfolio professional or independent creative where you may often be working alone!
