Welcome to my August update!

What a great time of year for many of us it is! The sun is shining (ok, well some days), schools and colleges are on their long, well deserved break, we’re going on holidays and having fun! This is a photo of my view when I went with my family to Lytham St Annes last week!

 

It’s a lovely time of transition for many of us. Although for some there can be a preoccupation with what’s to come in September. My own daughter is loving the freedom of the holidays, having had a pretty tough time in high school. There are some anxieties about how my gorgeous girl will adjust to college in September, however, she will be doing something that she enjoys, using her strengths and having the opportunity to showcase them in a new environment, dropping the baggage of what was seen to define her when at school!

We saw a couple of her teachers after she left school. Those who saw her potential and valued her for who she is. They were delighted to see how well she looked, complimented her on her glossy highlighted hair, beautiful make up and impeccably manicured nails and she showed them her belly button ring! Expressing herself through her own creativity is important to my girl. She will take her strength in creativity into her beauty course in September!

 

My preferred times of the year are April and September when the seasons start to change. Therefore, I am very proud to have contributed to the Connectiverse debut edition, which focussed on the theme of transition as we prepare for September. I shared the importance of adopting a growth mindset, focussing on our strengths, opportunities and solutions. Strengths Coaching allows us to recognise and celebrate what it is that puts the fire in our belly so that we can do this. Understanding and appreciating what gives us energy is a vital key in overcoming challenges that can at first glance appear overwhelming!

I’d like to invite you to read Connectiverse. It is packed with articles from a wealth of professionals and services who share their nuggets on how we can manage transition with confidence! You can read it here:
