After 22 years, today is my last day of parenting children. Youngest is 18 tomorrow!

As someone's manager at work, you are one of the most influential people in their life. You have the potential to encourage, enable and empower them TODAY. It's a great privelege and great responsibility. #management #leadership

For most of us, most of the time, our results are enhanced by doing fewer hours of higher quality - bringing our very best abilities to the task.

Harness the power of VSRs in the work day (FSWs work just as well when you can't change out of your work gear) youtube.com/shorts/7GqDi...

When it comes to personal productivity, especially when we have some deep work to do that requires us to be at our best, we know that the 'head-down, keep going, do more' approach is hugely flawed (there are 1001 studies illustrating exactly this).

Imagine 52 meaningful accomplishments, week-by-week across the entire year? One simple, exciting and frankly transformational element of the LMI leadership programmes is the practice of setting weekly business and personal goals. This was mine this week! youtu.be/pZ7D87ZrtAU

YouTube video by Nick Howes Don't foget the toilet roll!

No more running out of loo roll thanks to Alexa / OK Google / Hey Siri! The key to any challenge is to find a solution - there's always something out there - and create the structure needed so that you can systemise getting the result you want.
