I’ll try to…
I’m sure you’ve said this to someone. “I’ll try to make it to your party”. “I’ll try to be there”. “I’ll try to dial into the meeting”. You’ve probably said this with every good intention. But on some level when you say, “I’ll try to”, you are actually experiencing a little benefit of feeling good […]
Where does your value lie?
Value is created through three different sources: positional, personal and proficiency. During your working life, it’s really important to understand the source of your value, because there are pros and cons to each. Positional value comes from your role or your environment.

A Repeated Mistake is a Decision
It’s good to make mistakes. Growth can’t happen without them. But when we do something which we label a ‘mistake’, and then we keep doing that ‘mistake’, it has then become something we are deciding to do. It helps to reframe your mindset here. If you have found yourself saying, “I keep making the same […]

The notebooks began before he was an All Black, were maintained while he was an All Black, and have continued beyond his playing career. Every game day, Richie would write ‘Start Again’.

The Egg
Life is all about perspective. Something which this video does a very good job at providing. I wonder if after watching it you sit back and go…. “wow, I hadn’t thought of life in that way before….”.
