Loving Learning
April 25th 2024 by
What a week. Three major keynotes in 6 days to over 1,750 people. A Leadership Conference in a theatre. A Business Conference in an arena. A Managers Conference in a hotel. Although the situations, venues and themes were quite different. All three screamed something to me. Everyone had chosen to be there. The leadership conference […][...]

The 4 Sets
April 4th 2024 by
I believe there are four sets which are essential to personal success: Mindset Toolset Skillset Peopleset Mindset is the foundation – I would say that I’m a motivational speaker. But it is. I know plenty of people who have incredible opportunities and maybe even the other sets but without the right mindset it’s difficult to […][...]

Are you superstitious?
March 28th 2024 by
Have you ever paused to ponder the significance you attach to situations, items, or even superstitions in your life? I find it fascinating how we fill them with meaning. Sometimes, that can lead you down a rabbit hole of misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Take superstitions; those curious beliefs ingrained in cultures worldwide. They’re fascinating and full […][...]

Not a flat white
March 21st 2024 by
To give my brain a break and my creativity, some input, I decided to take a walk in a park. Not my local park – a new one. Heaton Park. It’s one of those hidden spots which gives a beautiful lift to the East Newcastle community. I like supporting local businesses, so I ignored the […][...]

Positively Influencing 1,000,000 Lives
March 14th 2024 by
In 1999 I created a company vision. For two reasons: 1) Everyone was banging on about company visions. 2) I had nothing to lose. My business was stumbling and I was thinking about throwing in the towel. So, I created a vision to Positively Influence 1,000,000 Lives. And everything changed. I rediscovered why I was […][...]

Is there anything worse?
March 7th 2024 by
On Monday I made my regular live broadcast about the pros and cons of waiting. I’ll write about it in a few weeks. In the middle of my broadcast Mrs H called my mobile. She knows I’ve been doing theses lives, at 12 noon, every week, for the past 4 years, so there must have […][...]

February 29th and I had to
February 29th 2024 by
It would be remiss of me to not write about a Leap Year when the 29th lands on one of my regular newsletter days. The next time a Leap Day is on a Thursday will be in 2052. I’ll be 85 and unsure if I’ll still be sending you a weekly message. Here are a […][...]

If you think education is expensive, try…
February 8th 2024 by
“If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.” That’s a great quote. Attributed to Ann Landers (Eppie Lederer), Derek Bok and a bunch of other chancers who wish they’d said it. Everyone claims they’re ‘always learning’. And to a point, yes. But the truth is most have lowered their learning to a leisurely stroll. Why? […][...]

Do you PP?
January 25th 2024 by
I’ve found myself being a PP. Have you? A PP here. PP there. Here a P. There a P. You get it. It’s… People Pleasing. And gosh, it’s tiring. Attempting to reply to every comment. Answer every question. Having a ‘yes’ attitude. Accepting too much. Taking on other people’s problems. The worst is when […][...]

Social Shocker
February 1st 2024 by Michael Heppell
The best business minds… are not on LinkedIn. The best video makers… are not on TikTok. The best socialisers… are not on Facebook. And brace yourself. The best photographers are not on Snapchat. And no one is on Threads 😂 Time to stop beating yourself up if your Instagram following isn’t flourishing or your […][...]
