It's Time to Slow Down



In his book, Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman introduced me to a life changing shift.


I lead with Fiery Red Energy, I think fast, I decide fast, I move fast and get things done. When I am focussed on a goal, it is just go go go at full speed. Full throttle, get it done, no time to stop.


Sometimes this is a huge asset. I get things done. I go for things without thinking it fully through, meaning sometimes I take a leap of faith. If I didn't think in this way I would never have learnt to ride a motorbike or setup my own coaching business.


At other times it can lead to mistakes. And, when it has come to my business - it has led to me firing on all cylinders since I launched it in 2019. This has still paid off, I have had a stream of clients, both individuals and organisations. I have worked with many fantastic clients and have been motivated and inspired when I have witnessed how much coaching has helped them to transform.


The crazy thing is that my career is in marketing. I know best practice - yet I was moving so fast when it came to by business, I did not apply the most simple principles.


At the end of last year I decided to invest in my own development, in learning about getting the business strategy right. I have joined the most incredible network through Catherine Watkins' Business From the Heart Programme. And I have truly embodied Daniel Kahneman's ethos, sometimes in life, to go fast you need to go slow.


So for me, 2022, is the Year of Getting it Right. I have slowed down. I have decided to become much more focussed on getting one thing really right. Rather than trying one thing after another, with success, but unpredictable success. I have mapped out my next six months of business planning. I have done tons of market research on my ideal client - and now I choose to speak solely to them, and not to everyone. I have created a fabulous Leadership & Communication Workbook people can download. I have a simple, focussed coaching programme. And my USP is how much I use Insights Discovery and DISC behavioural profiling tools to elevate my client's coaching journey.


I've done well just blindly working towards my goal for the last three years. And, I am so excited to see how I can take this to the next level and achieve consistent results, by being focussed, targeted and strategic in my approach. I'll update you in 2023!
