What Significant Decision Can You Make Today to Shape Your Legacy?

2023-03-23T09:24:26+00:00

Reading time: <1 minuteThis is an edgy question for me and precisely because of that I am leaning into it. There can be a tendency to make our worlds too small, too tactical and big questions offer perspective. They can also give permission to trim down the to-do list and focus on the essential. The whole idea of legacy puts our lives into perspective and in itself invites bigger questions. Whether we think about it or not we will leave some legacy, so what might it be? I’m not sure it necessarily has to be something grandiose that we leave [...]

What If, Instead of Having a To-Do List, You Had a To-Accomplish List?

2023-03-23T09:24:57+00:00

Reading time: 2 minutesHere is an extract from an email I just sent a colleague in response to some queries around this topic. If you want to explore this further the current episode of the podcast dives deeper. “I find it helpful to think in terms of different timeframes (say today and three months from now at end-June). From a practical perspective, today is the only day we ever get anything done so becoming truly deliberate about everything we do and asking broad questions like "How would I like my day to flow?" or "What are my top priorities today?" [...]

Reflection-Action Cycle

2023-03-23T09:25:42+00:00

Reading time: 1 minuteThe idea behind the reflection-action approach is to break the steady focus on getting things done and focus more on what it is we want to accomplish. To put it into plain English: Take Stock….. ….then….. ….Take Action... and rinse and repeat. It all starts with aspirations - a vision if you like. It can help to break with the present moment by physically placing ourselves in that future. A random opening question might be: "As you think about your ideal future in say 5 years, what images, feelings, or sounds come to mind that inspire and [...]

LinkedIn Posts and AI

2023-03-23T09:07:46+00:00

Reading time: <1 minuteWould you read this if you knew it were written by #ChatGPT? I don't know about you but I love checking out thoughtful posts on LinkedIn. It allows me to see different perspectives and get a sense for how the author views the world and of my own blind spots / potential biases. As a community, it is also a way of building relationships. The dramatic rise of ChatGPT and its cousins raises some real questions. I should say that I use the system on a reasonably regular basis and it does a whole series of tasks [...]

What if You Died Yesterday?

2023-03-23T09:26:19+00:00

Reading time: <1 minuteWhat if you died yesterday and today were the first day of your rebirth? What would you do differently? I ask myself these questions every morning and this morning my response was to make the most of yesterday's rare snowfall in this part of the world. So the kids stayed at home and rambled through the fields making all sorts of constructions and I got one of my hammocks out to lie in during my breaks. We only get one life and we live it one day at a time so let's make the most of each [...]

Tom’s innate ability to listen and empathise enabled me to relax and really explore the issues that were causing me some anxiety. Our sessions provided me with an enhanced sense of self-awareness and a considered plan of action. The benefits in terms of relationships and self-confidence this process has given me are invaluable, in both work and life in general!
Testimonial from Sean, Ireland
I went for coaching with Tom, without knowing what I wanted but knowing that I needed some help after having a number of setbacks with interviews. By the end of the first session, I was beginning to realise my problems. By the end of the second session, I was beginning to realise what I wanted. In our final two sessions, Tom helped me to identify a strategy for achieving my goals.

I thoroughly enjoyed our sessions. Tom listened without judgement, guided without being opinionated and ultimately helped me to help myself. You can’t ask more from a coach.

Testimonial from Paul, Ireland

I didn’t think I had a specific need for a coach, however, having met Tom outside of our professional roles we decided to set up a coaching programme. I’m delighted we did. Tom’s approach is based on taking it slow, listening first and asking questions you won’t have thought of second. The latter always result in positive actions to take away and implement immediately. Now, I’m really looking forward to continuing our working relationship.
