Yes, yes, yes. I can sense the eye-rolling as people see the title here. I can hear the ‘oh, here we go again – he’s banging on about needing to change AGAIN… Yawn, yawn – we’ve heard it all before’. And I absolutely get that. But this time, it’s serious. Let me explain why. I’m …

It is easy to feel reduced by life. Please don’t let that happen.
There is a quote I’m currently obsessed with. It comes from the promotional tour the cast of the movie The Life of Chuck did recently (it’s one of my favourite films of recent years – I referenced it in a post last month (link here) and will no doubt devote an entire post to it …
Why books and reading are hugely important
I’ve been intending to write a post on books for some time now and today seemed an appropriate day, with World Book Day taking place last Thursday. In my humble opinion, books are the most important learning tool we have. I learned way more from them than any teacher I ever encountered. I loved them …
Don’t crave feedback or responses from people. IT DOESN’T MATTER!
Recently, I’ve been trying to change my entire viewpoint on craving feedback / responses from people. It’s working to a degree, primarily as I keep telling myself that, fundamentally, IT REALLY DOESN’T MATTER! (I don’t normally like using capitals in sentences, though the emphasis is certainly needed here…) Why has this become ‘a thing’ for …
What could we achieve if we just believe in ourselves a little more?
Prior to becoming a Project Manager, I worked in Quality Management. The aspect of that role which I loved was continuous/process improvement – looking at ways of working and determining how things could be made better. Something about that must have stuck with me as I’ve always been interested in how we can make things …
Eight life lessons we can all learn from The Traitors
Like many people within the UK right now, I’m addicted to The Traitors. It’s compelling, addictive, brilliant television. The recent third series certainly didn’t disappoint, with many twists, turns, and jaw-dropping moments to enjoy. The pure entertainment value aside though, I noticed this year that there are many life lessons we can learn from the …
Why 2025 is my year of doing less, but more of what is important
I’m writing this post a few weeks after what was a fantastic Christmas and New Year break, though that came at a price. I overcommitted to things, and whilst most of them were truly amazing, I know I returned to work still feeling like I needed a break. But before I upset anyone close to …
Why men desperately need each other, but will rarely admit it…
It was International Men’s Day on Tuesday (19th Nov). The annual event aims to provide a way of celebrating the male role models in our lives and to shine a light on the issues that males face day in and day out. To me, the latter is more prominent these days, and that’s no bad …
As a species, the human race is screwed…
I’m hoping someone will be able to convince me otherwise, but I genuinely do believe this to be true, at least in the western world (the UK, western Europe, the US etc). And much of it is down to phone addiction… I’ve thought this for a while, though some things I observed during a couple …
Felt unfulfilled for a long time? Change things – it’s the only way
I can’t be the only person around feeling unfulfilled with life? I’ve written about this previously, yet the feeling remains. Hopefully this won’t be seen as another whiny ‘woe is me’ post – as always, I aim to write these posts with honesty and openness, and this is something which has been bothering me for …
