🎧 NEW COACHING CORNER IS LIVE: 3 Things I’d Tell My Younger Self
If I could sit down with my younger self, fresh into the world of work, there are three things I’d want her to know.

✨ Build relationships before you need them
Most opportunities come through people and trust, often from conversations that happened years earlier.

✨ Don’t wait for permission
Nobody is coming along to tell you you’re ready. You have to decide that for yourself.

✨ Reinvent yourself regularly
The world changes. Industries change. We change. The people who thrive are the ones willing to adapt.
Looking back, every reinvention in my career opened doors I couldn’t have imagined when I was starting out.

I’d love to know: What advice would you give your younger self?

Throwback to a video I did last year.....
I'm learning British Sign Language (BSL) and one of my favourite signs so far is for Confidence

It’s not just a sign — it actually makes you feel more confident too.

Try it: start with a 'C' at your chest and lift it up… feel the shift?

A Plan B is not about failure, it's about options

Here are 5 powerful steps to start creating yours:

✨ 1. Accept you probably need one
The world is changing, pretending otherwise does not help

✨ 2. Take a balcony view
Zoom out and look at what is happening around you

✨ 3. Take a dip in “Lake You”
What genuinely brings you joy, energy, and meaning?

✨ 4. Have more conversations and listen
Get curious about the problems people need solving

✨ 5. Percolate and process
Plan Bs rarely arrive fully formed, they evolve over time

The people adapting best right now are not always the people with certainty.

They are the people willing to evolve.

💬 Which of these 5 steps do you most need right now?

The problem is not you, it’s the marketplace.
So many talented, experienced, hardworking people are:
👉 Exhausted
👉 Burning out
👉 Taking rejection personally
👉 Wondering why what used to work no longer works

But industries are changing.
Buying behaviour is changing.
Budgets are tighter.
Decision-making is slower.

And forcing the old model harder is not always the answer.

💡 Career confidence today is not about endlessly proving yourself, it’s about adaptability.

The people surviving and thriving right now are often the people willing to:
✨ Pivot
✨ Reposition
✨ Rethink
✨ Repackage what they do

Not because they failed, but because they evolved.

The question is no longer:
❌ “Why don’t they want me?”

The better question is:
👉 “Where else could my skills create value?”

That question changes everything.

💬 Have you noticed the marketplace changing in your industry too?

Think like a dinosaur.
Sounds strange? Stay with me...

In this clip from Fast Track to Fearless, Tracy Forsyth shares an unexpected lesson from Jurassic Park's velociraptors. They didn't succeed on the first attempt. Or the second. They kept learning, adapting, and trying new approaches until they got the result they wanted.

💡 The lesson? If you're hungry for something in your career or life, don't give up when one approach doesn't work.

Pivot.
Learn.
Adapt.
Keep going.

Because success often belongs to those who are willing to try again—just a little differently.
