⁠I've been getting back into Rose tea again. I have no idea why I stopped drinking it. ⁠
⁠
it's refreshing, caffeine-free and super pretty to look at. Plus there's a whiff of the Arabian nights about a cup filled with rose petals. ⁠
⁠
I mean, obviously I'm hunched over m…

So most of us in business - particularly if you've been doing it a while - have some things that are not really working for us.⁠
⁠
But for whatever reason, we love them.⁠

Maybe they were difficult to do and as god is your witness, you WILL make it … https://t.co/9aN9jyzyDi

I go past Nelson's Column fairly regularly on the bus - every time I think it's a very odd way to commemorate someone. ⁠
⁠
A statue's one thing - but a statue on a stick? just plain odd. ⁠

If you're like pretty much everyone ⁠I work with... you're not charging enough.⁠
⁠
It can be hard to up your prices when times are hard. But if you don't charge your worth, you're doing your self-image no good at all.⁠

I'm not talking about giv… https://t.co/PwbAYHKJAA

The tiled court at the V&A - always a delight to glance at over high tea. ⁠
⁠
High culture followed by cake. What’s not to love? ⁠
⁠
Have you been? More importantly, which cake did you choose? https://t.co/D3LDKv5DeC

Why thank you, Alice.⁠
⁠
Being able to help a client with a clear and simple strategy is the thing that lights me up.⁠

Got a really complex issue you need untangling? ⁠

Stuck not sure what your next move should be?⁠

Uncertain why your messa… https://t.co/7ytIG5RKbL

it's a big day for a chap called Charlie over here in London.⁠

Whatever your views on the monarchy, that means a lot of us will see news footage from inside a cathedral today. ⁠

Did I tell you I'm writing a book?⁠���
⁠⁠
It's called 'Think like a film crew' - it's about all the things I learned in film that are helpful for entrepreneurs. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
And that's a lot, as film is all about dealing with what's in front of you - in a… https://t.co/MZSRQM8rL0

Thanks Lauren! Coaching is all about clarity. When you cut right back to the heart of the matter, when you're clear on where you're going it usually becomes fairly straight forward to get there.⁠

Or it does if you're working with a good strategist … https://t.co/ELHtadE57V

Take a moment for yourself today. Meditate if you fancy it - or just take a quick breather with something that brings you joy.⁠

For me, that's not only the delight that is a glazed doughnut, but the lovely 1930s art deco plate it rests on. Filling … https://t.co/jLpHNZcKwb

When you're building your business there are so many things to do - from website to social media presence to client outreach - it all needs doing. ⁠

Lagos is a city with so much energy. When I was there regularly, it was always so filled with it. And every time I see more recent footage from there, the verve and entrepreneurial spirit is only growing stronger. ⁠

'You have lit my spark!⁠'⁠

^this is the best bit about having a coach - you get lit up by new ideas... then actually get on and do them.⁠

Makes all the difference. ⁠ https://t.co/bqaJvyyAtV

Really - you're probably making things too complicated.⁠
⁠
⁠⁠⁠What I do when I work on strategy with clients is work backwards. I know, I know, it sounds too basic.⁠⁠

And with a good strategist - ahem, me - it is. Decide what you want to achiev… https://t.co/fQZ4wi4WuT

Earlier in the week I went to see my fave painting - the little street by Vermeer.

It’s part of the largest Vermeer exhibition since the 90s. Almost all of his small oeuvre is there, all the big names that could travel (thought the girl with the pearl … https://t.co/AkJmQXwelJ

As you can see I was quite spectacularly excited that one of my besties @rontester was in town last week.

The first time we’ve met in the real. And of course… it didn’t feel any different from the hundreds of hours we’ve spent in WhatsApp and on zo… https://t.co/hvWSb959Gg
