Welcome to August’s Updates
Hello Everyone!!
Just a quick share of August’s updates as we say HELLO to September! Who in your house is back to school, college, uni this month!? I quite like the new academic year VIBE!
August has a different pace, I have learned, when in business. Has meant I have been able to get out and about in the SUNSHINE with Ollie the collie, and do some planning. And good job too! I’ve COMPLETED the 15000 Steps a Day Challenge, for the MND Association. So, what comes after a challenge? A Celebration, of course!
I’ve booked the Ancient Oak, Cottam, on Friday 26th September, for a Celebration of completing the Challenge and to help us to SUPPORT the MND Association further! We’ll have some music, chip and sausage butties and a raffle!
To make this event as huge a SUCCESS in raising valuable funds, I‘m reaching out to my network for help with:
Any sort of entertainment that might entertain the wee ones (and the big kids I suppose…)
Raffle prizes – I’m happy to source them if you want to transfer a donation!
Sponsorship of the food, so that the money raised goes to the Charity – £10 is enough! I’ll send you an invoice and receipt and if you’re in business, give you a huge shout out on the socials!
You can buy tickets or make a donation in the link below!
Be GREAT to see you there!
PROGRESS!
What does progress mean to you?
Some of you will know I got a shoulder injury last October, walking Ollie the collie! It’s been a bit on the frustrating side, having to be PATIENT whilst recovering…
Bit by bit though, my range of motion has IMPROVED and weights have increased! PROGRESS!
With my new gym regime and expert advice I’ve been able to make small adjustments and they’ve paid off!
Having the right support, in the right place, at the right time is key! And this is how I see my Strengths Coaching. Looking at what resources you have available to you and how I can help you to tap into and enhance them with my expert Strengths Coaching. Checking out that you are in the right place and it is the right time for you.

SILENCE IS GOLDEN!!
Yes, this is really coming from me!! I shared a post on LinkedIn recently, inviting REFLECTIONS on what we do when things go silent…?
It makes some people feel nervous? As though they aren’t communicating well enough if others are quiet. Or that they want to alleviate how uncomfortable the other person might me when it’s quiet! Some people feel the NEED to fill the silence…
What do you think? What do you do when things go silent…?
I’d invite you to spend 5 minutes thinking about what goes through your mind when things so silent during INTERACTIONS with others. How do you respond? Is this helpful for you? Do you think it’s helpful for the other person?
You can give this thought in all areas of your life. Allowing silence when presenting something at work, during a difficult conversation. In discussions with our partners and family members/children.
What might HAPPEN if you allow for silence. How might others PROCESS what’s going on differently, with that little bit of space to be able to? Will it allow us to listen to HEAR, rather than listen to respond?
Have fun!
THAT’S IT FROM ME!!
I hope you’ve enjoyed this month’s round up!
It will be the September Updates before we know it!
