Ten Life Lessons That Can Be Applied to the Workplace

I’ve been gathering my thoughts over my holiday in the Middle East and I hope this collection may be useful for you.

⏱ there are five forms of wealth - money, mental health, physical health, social (ie your relationships) and TIME.

😴 cycling has taught me that rest and kindness to yourself can sometimes be what you need rather than more grit.

🍳taking time to think every day gives your brain the chance to let you know what it’s been working on while you’re using the conscious part of it. (My thinking breakfasts have been a game changer and I share a couple of ways I’ve made them work!)

✅ make a “done” as well as a “to do” list at the end of the day to truly switch off and feel the impact of the day.

⚖️ take good care of your struggle/satisfaction balance. Observe it in yourself and look around the world to see what happens when it’s out of kilter.

💪I’ve (finally!) found exercise that works for me: cycling (because I can have the chats!) and a subscription to an online dance gym (because I have to focus on the steps).

⛱ before going on holiday, block out some time and spend it with your own staff/team so they’re empowered as much as possible in your absence.

🙋‍♀️ we always tell young people to take every opportunity and enjoy the journey along the way. We need to take our own advice and live it.

😌 don’t assume things will be the same in the future. I thought the longest time I would ever be off a plane was when I broke my foot… but the pandemic taught my differently. Now I enjoy my travel more (and do less) and appreciate it wholeheartedly.

📓curiosity will lead you to learning wherever you go - wherever that’s down the road or across the sky.
