Our Third Day of Christmas
🎄 On the 3rd day of Christmas, we'd like to gift to you… 3 great quotes ✨
We asked our team about a quote or phrase that’s really stuck with them and they’ve applied during 2024. It was a long list – and we checked it twice – but here’s our 3 favourites from Rob, Rachel and Howard
Howard – "Knowledge speaks, wisdom listens" - Jimi Hendrix
Rachel – “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom” - Aristotle
Rob - “Clear is kind. Unclear is unkind” - Brené Brown
Which of these resonates with you?
Our Second Day of Christmas
🎄 On our second day of Christmas, we’d like to gift to you… 2 coaching top tips
Tip 1 - Control
It can feel like there’s a lot coming at you at this time of year, and it helps to identify what sits with you and what doesn’t. Rachel shares a very useful approach to handing the volume of work in her video on Control
Tip 2 – Flow
Whilst the holidays can be frenetic, they can also be about creating moments when you can do some nourishing thinking. These moments can be a great opportunity to experience “Flow”, as explained by Rachel in her video.
How do you stay balanced during the festive season?
Our First Day of Christmas
🎁 On our first day of Christmas, we’d like to gift to you… One Christmas wish!
Our wish is that you have the happiest of downtimes with your loved ones. Some space to be and to reconnect in whatever way works for you. And within that, a chance to pause and reflect on your experiences this year, recognising your achievements in 2024, and the exciting things to look forward to in 2025.
