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 […][...]

Do you get nervous
January 18th 2024 by
Do you get nervous? A question that often comes my way, especially concerning my main job: Which is being on stage, facing crowds (that sometimes stretch into the thousands) and keeping them enthralled while I teach them the secrets of How to Be Brilliant. Talk about a keynote title that creates a rod for your […][...]

Self-driving cars are about to do this…
January 11th 2024 by
Imagine a world where cars don’t just drive themselves, but also chat with each other. This isn’t a sci-fi scenario, it’s the imminent future of self-driving technology. These vernacular vehicles promise to revolutionise our roads by optimising routes, scheduling travel times, easing traffic and elevating safety. It’s a thrilling (and yes, a bit scary) […][...]

What were you doing?
December 14th 2023 by
Everyone knows the ‘80s was the best decade. Especially, if like me, you’re in your fifties. Of course, my granddaughter will think the ’30s or ’40s are the best. And that’s weird; thinking that we’re now in the twenties. The new twenties 😳. Anyhoo, I digress. To write this newsletter I thought it […][...]

Tiny Triggers
December 7th 2023 by
Last week I presented a Magic Monday LIVE on Tiny Triggers. We all get triggered. I can deal with the big stuff. It’s the little ones that needle. Like cheese and onion crisps or bagpipes. It’s weird that we/you/me let these small inconveniences affect our demeanor. Like noisy eaters or dog poo. And even though we know […][...]

What’s your thing?
November 30th 2023 by
On September 15th, 2007, after working on ‘his thing’ for 89 days – 16 hours a day, Jeremy Harper achieved his goal of counting aloud from 1 to 1,000,000. He streamed the whole thing. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. He even streamed his sleeping and eating. To celebrate reaching 1,000,000 which of […][...]

All about 17
November 23rd 2023 by
I’m a bit of a numbers fan. I often count the sum of steps on stairs and I’m chuffed when it’s a prime number. Nerd? Maybe. I love playing with numbers and take delight when they do clever stuff. Geek? Probably. And I especially love 17. Here are 17 reasons why 17 is […][...]

I wish I’d recorded that…
November 16th 2023 by
I’d just finished an online meeting with a potential new client about a keynote presentation. Ideas were bouncing and (forgive a moment of ego) I shared some brilliant off-the-cuff ideas. At the end of the meeting, they commented that it sounded perfect, they loved it and wanted to book me. Then I realised… In my […][...]

Don’t fall in love
November 2nd 2023 by
Have you heard of the Ford Edsel? In the 1950s, Ford Motors were on a roll. They believed they had their finger on the pulse of the American driver and the all new ‘Edsel’ was going to be their crowning glory. The Ford Execs were giddy and poured huge resources into the car’s development. They […][...]

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 […][...]
