A Bit Of A Boost

Consistency is the holy grail of habits.   Instead of frustrating cycles of all-or-nothing, actually doing what you say you're going to do without interruption or deviation.   I wanted to return to recording the podcast with this topic because it feels very relevant, given how it's now May and this is the first episode I have published since the start of the year.   I share my own challenges but a...

Welcome to the A Bit Of A Boost Burnout Series!   This is a topic I've explored on the podcast before, and one that comes up regularly in coaching sessions, workshops and conversations with high performing professionals.   What's become clear is that it doesn't just suddenly hit you. It creeps up, gets normalised and isn't always easy to spot until it's too late.   In this series I'm sharing real...

We're kicking off the 2026 podcast episodes with this insight to the 6 different levels of thinking.   When we set goals, most of us consider just the ONE level: what BEHAVIOURS do I need to change?   This is important, but it's not the only level we need to consider if we want more rapid and permanent change.   I first came across the 6 Logical Levels when I was stydying for my NLP practioners co...

I looked at 4 areas: 1) The successes from the 205 2) The setbacks  3) What I need to amplify or release f...

Thanks to a podcast hiatus over the last few months, I never got the chance to share some of the lessons from my latest ultra endurance adventure, another 24 hour ultra marathon in June! I always intended on laying down these lessons, primarily for my own benefit to solidify them in my head, but also I think some of them have relevance to any situation in or outside of endurance sports.  

Returning after a bit of an absence from the podcast but there's been a very good reason... I've written a book! It's a book that's been in the making for over 20 years and I seized the opportunity to write it during a slightly quieter period earlier in the year. I'm delighted to be just a couple of weeks away from publishing it and wanted to share some of the key messages from within the book in...

I hear a lot of people talking about the non-negotiables in their lives, usually habits around exercise or sleep or other areas of wellbeing that make a huge difference in their lives.   And whilst I am clearly an advocate of having these routines, I don't personally have any 'non-negotiables' with any of them.   I was asked what my non-negotiables were in a recent panel discussion at a wellbeing...

Jim Rohn tells us that 'we are the average of the 5 people we spend most of our time with', so are you actively seeking out the 'right' kind of person to be around?   If you have goals that require you to develop different habits, skills, beliefs or even sense of identity, then getting around other people who normalise these behaviours and beliefs is going to make it easier.   People, communities,...

I'm joined on the show today by a senior director of customer success at the software company, ServiceNow, Damien Davis.   I haven't known Damien for long but whenever we have spoken I've come away feeling like I've had a bit of a boost so it just made sense to invite him on the podcast!   Damien shares stories of both triumph and tragedy.   We talk about perspective, impact and workplace culture,...

I'm joined today by the chief operating officer at Genistar - one of the fastest growing financial services companies in the UK - Michael Cody.   But you're not going to hear us talking about financial services, or even his role as a COO, but you are going to hear about his incredible transformation over the last few years.   At the end of 2020 Michael weighed over 32 stone - that's 451 pounds or...
