A tribute to the fantastic people who gave it their all at the Goals With Purpose workshop this week.

I salute you 🫡

01/05/2025

Thank you to everyone who came to the Goals With Purpose workshop yesterday - I cannot believe how awesome you were (in a VERY hot room!)

I'm blown away by the comments I've been getting. It's a little overwhelming, to be honest. You made this day, and I'm glad to have been a part of helping you get control of the things that matter.

Thank you 🙏🏻

As the video says - don't miss out on this chance, the 30th April is not far off!

Tickets are selling for our FULL Goals With Purpose workshop with Portsmouth Business Exchange, and spaces are limited.

I know that sounds a bit 'salesy' but they sold out last time - and I don't want you to miss out.

Same great content - NEW DATE!

We've decided to move our "Goals with Purpose" workshop in association with Portsmouth Business Exchange to the 30th of April.

The 2nd is proving tricky for people (including a few who came to the 'taster'), and I really want to give as many people as possible the opportunity to benefit from this FULL workshop.

So - if you want to be saying similar things to the reviews you can see in the picture, AND if you'd like to:

✅ Spend more time on the things that really matter to you
✅ Reduce the noise and distractions
✅ Make 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟 progress in your business or whatever you choose to focus on
✅ Come away from the session clear about what you will do today
✅ Have fun learning with a brilliant group of people...
..get your booking in FAST.

The previous session was just a taster - this is the 𝗙𝗨𝗟𝗟 workshop:

💥 Practical, fun, hands-on support crafting your plan
💥 A 36-page workbook you will work on in the session, and then use to act
💥 Half a day to really work out what you want
💥 Breakfast on arrival, tea, coffee and all the naughty treats you can eat 😄

Last time, we 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗗 𝗢𝗨𝗧 - and I reckon it will happen again, so click on the link in the comments to be sure of your seat.

Don't miss out this time; act FAST!

This is critical when designing workshops and learning sessions:

Every second you have learners with you, you're taking away their time to do things that may matter 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 to them than your training.

Design:

✅ Concise
✅ Focused training
✅ With clear outcomes

LESS is often MORE

(And I didn't clutter that post with a load of waffle because I wanted to respect YOUR time too 👍🏻)

🧡 Prepare for presentations, workshops or sessions that matter
🧡 Improve your mind/body relationship
🧡 Set boundaries for your business
🧡 Take time for what matters...
..and so much more.

The breakfast of champions?

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Whether that's true or not, the fact is that if you want your body to perform well, it needs good fuel.

And if you want your team to perform, guess what—they need good fuel, too.

✅ Knowledge
✅ Skills
✅ Attitude

How do we give them this fuel? Consider three options:

1️⃣ Just tell them what to do and hope for the best

2️⃣ Give them 'tick-box' training so you can say you did it - and then hope for the best

3️⃣ Give them nutritious training that nourishes them over a longer time to perform well long after the activity (meal) is finished

We ONLY do 3️⃣ 👋🏻

If you want something to fuel your team long-term (with some joy and chocolate included) - take their development seriously and engage learning suppliers who care and want YOU to be successful.

Or - spend less money on fatty, poor-quality, salty, sugary training that feels nice at the moment - but doesn't have any value at all in the long term.

It's your call - but if you want actual performance - call me for support that's...

🥣 Nourishing – Focused on real skills that drive results.
🥞 Varied – Never "one-size-fits-all"
🍏 Fresh – Regularly updated, relevant, and engaging.
☕ Energising – Something your team actually want to engage with.
🍳 Balanced – A mix of training styles keeping things fresh and effective.
🥐 Consistent – One meal won’t keep you going. Learning must be ongoing.
🍎 Nutritious – Relevant, valuable content building strong skills.
☕ Enjoyable – People want to engage with it!

💥 You can ask the people we work with to tell you why this matters.

I was flicking through my recommendations and remembered these kind words that Emma from Virgin Media O2 shared about my work and the Continue & Begin FAST Coaching® programme I delivered last year.

Brilliant people to work with, thank you Emma for your support 🙏🏻

Am I allowed to make ‘Dad jokes’ on here?

I was gonna say it’s been a ‘sound’ week – but that’s a bit lame

Then I was gonna say I’m giving an (audio)wave to everyone I’ve worked with – nope, still lame.

Ok, I’ll stop with the audio puns. Less distortion – more clarity.

Here are the highlights, including the amazing people I’ve been able to connect with this week:

💥 Recording a brand-new podcast conversation at the brilliant SPARK Community Space podcast room, with TWO amazing guests - more to follow in the coming weeks 🤫

💥 Listening to the latest How to Blog podcast from Naomi with Hannah Youell

💥 Producing two more ace podcast episodes for Naomi, ready to go out in the future

💥 Seeing the amazing podcast 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀 from Jules Verne Ltd hitting the UK Top 10 travel podcasts 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗠 💥👊🏻💥 Great work from Caroline Carne Laura Faulkner Melissa and Michelle 🙏🏻

💥 Thank you, Tilly Charlotte and Rebecca at Rooster. for your supportive posts, and helping making that production process 100% slick!

💥 We put out a new 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙁𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙚 newsletter AND podcast episode (link in the comments)

💥 Amazing feedback from the Portsmouth Business Exchange members who came to the 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 workshop – it’s been remarkable seeing your work (one person in particular has blown me away this week 😉)

💥 It was awesome to see International Dance Supplies (IDS) posting this week about the progress their talented team have been making - looking forward to seeing you all again next week 🙌🏻

💥 Coffee and cake with the remarkable Thomas Burgess talking about Save A Warrior - "SAW" UK and his amazing work (I lost the battle with a formidable piece of cake)

💥 Brand new content for CLEAR® created for the course and seven more lovely people in the community

💥 Inspiring, uplifting and supportive posts on here from people like YOU – thank you 🙏🏻

💥 Ending the week on a high with coffee with my daughter. Then a breathwork session with Dan and Vitae Vi - such a brilliant, calm and quiet way to end a working week

I hope your week has been ace and you're heading into a great weekend.

Thank you for making our work such a joy to share with you, and see how you benefit - it makes it all worthwhile 🙏🏻

It's all been about journeys this week:

💥 We launched an incredible new podcast from Jules Verne, showcasing wonderful stories of travel and adventure. The first episode featured Jo Kessel, who shared some brilliant tales. The link is in the comments.

💥 Learning to use CapCut, and doing more stuff on TikTok (not sure it's for me yet), but Dan Hughes very kindly shared my film about why I had taken a detour and NOT done Cold Showers last week. Thanks, Dan 🚿

💥 After travelling to Lexham Insurance last week, it was humbling to read your kind words on Monday about the impact of our work. Thank you 🙏🏻

💥 Over to Gunwharf Quays for the 𝗚𝗢𝗔𝗟𝗦 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗣𝗨𝗥𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗘 workshop for the fantastic folks at Portsmouth Business Exchange. Followed by a demonstration of my awful bowling skills! Great fun; thank you, PBE!

💥 Zipping down to the Queens Hotel in Southsea, it was wonderful to spend time with the inimitable Nick Drake-Knight, discussing all things FAST Coaching® and how we're going to assist even more people with this wonderful tool of Nick's.

💥 The plan to travel to Portsmouth for the face-to-face 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗞𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗡 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 session was scuppered (didn't wanna infect my friends with the lurgy). This meant I helped to maintain the 100% record of Jodie being unable to award that month's prize for good LinkedIn activity. The good news is I did make the online session - 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 '𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗-𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚' 😉

What a cracking week, time spent with amazing people, thank you. As always, YOU inspire and motivate me, and it is fantastic to spend time with you 🙏🏻

Next week - we are recording a podcast with 𝟮 𝗩𝗜𝗣𝘀 - it's all under wraps for now, but watch this space! 😉

All is not lost...

Yesterday the workbooks arrived for my 'Setting Goals with Purpose' workshop.

I was pleased. They look great, and I began setting up a post to promote the event with Portsmouth Business Exchange on the 5th Feb.

𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗡 - I discovered all the tickets had gone. Yikes!

Firstly, well done to all those who booked quickly and secured your place - I can't wait to see you.

Secondly, there may be cancellations between now and the 5th, so please keep an eye on the 𝗣𝗕𝗘 feed just in case.

And, of course, if there is enough demand, I'll be happy to look at running another one afterwards at some point.

(I've even been chatting to Jodie about maybe something in conjunction with the LR community? Watch this space).

In the meantime, I'm looking forward to the whole thing - especially to showing you how awful my bowling is!
