In today’s fast-paced world, many people are becoming more exhausted and frustrated than ever before. They know there is more to life than the treadmill they are finding themselves on, but they aren’t quite sure how to get it.

It’s increasingly easy to overlook the importance of self-awareness and self-care. Yet, both are essential if we want to achieve success and fulfillment in our career and our personal life.

Self-awareness is the foundation of emotional intelligence, which is crucial for effective leadership, collaboration, and personal growth. Understanding your strengths, weaknesses, motivations, and emotions enables you to navigate your career with clarity and purpose. And when we practice and prioritise self-care, we maintain the physical, emotional, and mental energy needed to meet the demands of work and life.

Together, these practices help prevent burnout, reduce stress, and enhance your ability to make informed decisions and build meaningful relationships.

In today's fast-paced and ever-changing workplace, it's becoming increasingly difficult to maintain a healthy balance between work and personal life. So often we find ourselves dealing with high-pressure situations, tight deadlines, and constantly evolving technologies that demand our attention around the clock.

When we have clear boundaries in place, we have a greater sense of being in charge of our life. Not only do our boundaries protect us, but they also allow us to have stronger relationships, greater independence and less stress and conflict.

However, so often we find ourselves saying yes when we want to say no. We want to be polite or seen as a nice person. We want to avoid conflict. We don’t think anyone else will do as good a job. Too often we put up with poor behaviour, and feelings of guilt or obligation rather than risk offending people by saying no.

Communicating with conviction is the cornerstone of trusted leadership.

When we communicate with conviction our leadership shines through and leaves a lasting impact. We are unafraid to be authentic, which earns us loyalty and trust. We communicate with clarity, confidence and compassion, which motivates, educates and inspires.

Conviction creates change, energises individuals and teams, leads to alignment of values and purpose, and achieves greater results.

If you have female staff between the ages of 40 and 55 years, chances are they are going through peri-menopause or menopause.

Symptoms of menopause include brain fog, hot flushes, extreme anxiety, painful periods, mood swings, and fatigue, and almost 60% of women aged 45-55 say their symptoms are having a negative impact on them at work. One in eight women resign from work due to menopause and another two in eight would if they could afford to. This has a huge cost implication, and not only in terms of recruitment.

For many women, menopause is one of the reasons we feel so disconnected at work. However, it doesn’t need to be this way.
