Every journey begins with the first step!  We are three weeks into January 2025.  Did you make a New Years resolution?  Have you stuck to it? Here’s the thing with resolutions, just because it is a new day in a new year, it doesn’t mean that what went before will magically disappear and you can automatically become a different and better version of yourself or achieve automatically.  This type of work, only happens with a consistent approach for betterment.

My secret, I stopped doing new year resolutions decades ago.  My new year started whenever I wanted it to start.  As a former teacher, the school academic year ran from September to July.  I typically took the summer holidays to have a rethink and restart for every September. 

In my line of work – bridging the gap between industry and education, I have a portfolio career which has seen me become a role model and inspiration for many, along with coaching activity.  I have reflected on this for quite sometime and in answer to one of the questions I get asked a lot – “What tips can you offer me, to succeed?”, I decided to collate these in a book.

Let me introduced you to my first coaching title – 30 TIPS for Self-Development:Transform your life and career today, These tips can be started at anytime that you wish to press the reset button, and work through for 30 days.  In fact it doesn’t have to be thirty consecutive days, you can do a tip a week or whatever format you require.  The key however is consistency.  This is one of the biggest ways to achieve.  Success doesn’t happen by chance, it’s a result of commitment, self-development, self-reflection and continuous improvement.
