A Bit Of A Boost

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 conversations with people who’ve experienced burnout firsthand.   Not the theories or frameworks, but the personal stories of what happened.   How it felt, what...

6 Levels of Thinking - a framework for more rapid and permanent change show art 6 Levels of Thinking - a framework for more rapid and permanent change

A Bit Of A Boost

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 course, and have used it regularly since then.   In this short episode I will walk you through all 6 levels - environment, behaviours, capabilities, beliefs & values, identity...

16 end-of-year questions to ask yourself show art 16 end-of-year questions to ask yourself

A Bit Of A Boost

In this final episode of 2025 I share 16 questions that will help you extract more of the lessons from the last 12 months, and get clear on what is most important for the next 12. These are the exact questions I sat down to answer a couple of weeks ago as part of my traditional annual review. I looked at 4 areas: 1) The successes from the 205 2) The setbacks  3) What I need to amplify or release for 2026 4) The goals, mission and objectives for the year ahead Whether you just think through your answers to these 16 questions as you listen to this episode, or spend some time writing them...

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 event, and figured why not share my thoughts on the topic here as well :)

 

In this short episode I talk / ramble about:

  • Why I don't have non-negotiables
  • The difference between a STANDARD and a non-negotiable
  • The importance of TOLERANCE
  • Why our habits should SERVE you and not ENSLAVE you
  • Why it's better to be DELAYED with your progress rather than DERAILED
