Try out your options

I had an eye exam the other day. As the optometrist was asking me which lens was better, Option 1 or Option 2, I was reminded of the power that trying offers us. If you’ve had an eye exam yourself recently, you might recall that towards the end of the exam, when the options are […]

Get out in front of it

At the end of last year I collaborated with Jess Clair and released an eBook called Amplify the Introvert. It was a labour of love that we wrote, edited and formatted over Covid. It entertained us both for many hours (for which I’m thankful). The eBook aims to help small business owners fall in love […]

Time Management myths and what are we getting wrong?

Progress in any measure is progress

We’ve been through 10 months of the calendar year. Can you believe it?! It’s easy to fall into the comparison trap around this time of year. To feel like we’ve maybe not done enough. So today I’d like to remind you that a little progress is still progress! Growth Growth doesn’t happen overnight. Nor does […]

Guidelines around email checking

Inevitably when helping people get on top of their email, the question about how often should someone be processing their email comes up. You’ll notice the word ‘processing’ rather than ‘checking’.
