My Favourite Life Hacks
|
Hello friends 👋🏻 On Friday I gave a talk on my favourite life hacks to my coaching clients. Every week I run a group session and that was the topic for this week.

Over the next few days I am going to share my top 3 tips from each of these. Every single one has been tested by me and shown to be effective. Tomorrow I'll start with sleep.

See you tomorrow, Stephen -- If you’re curious whether coaching could help you find more clarity or direction, book a free 15-minute Clarity Call and we’ll explore it together. If you want help to think about where problems might be arising in your organisation, try my Complexity Pressure Check. For anything else, hit reply. I answer every email personally. |

But a real version, on a park bench. You shouldn't wait to spend your time doing the things you enjoy, just...
If you are new here, you may not know that I wasn't always a beloved, superstar global influencer (tongue in cheek, promise 😗). No I used to have a "proper job" (thanks brother). And so, in the last few years I have been on a bit of an adventure to reinvent myself. This is something that lots of us dream of doing at some point in our lives. It's not easy, but it is worth it. So here are some of the big lessons I have learned that might help you: Your friends and family may not support you to...
