Do you get nervous

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…

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) […]

Sharpen Your Life

Happy New Year! I received an invitation to purchase the world’s greatest knife sharpener with a rather splendid tagline. Everyone wants sharp knives. No one wants to sharpen them. Until now. I was intrigued and sure enough a very cool knife sharpener was on offer. For £250! I hardly use knives, but I still wanted […]

What were you doing?

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

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?

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

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…

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 […]

You don’t become better by accident

One of the best things about my job is interviewing highly successful people. And I love to weave in a question or two about how they did it. After 30+ years no one has claimed ‘It just happened’ or occurred ‘by accident’. It’s invariably about intention, focused effort and the magic ingredient… Learning from others. […]
