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

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?"

What if You Died Yesterday?

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 [...]

Our Priorities Are What We Do, Not What We Say!

Tom O'Leary - Moment Maverick2023-03-23T09:11:45+00:00

Reading time: 2 minutes Ever find you say your priorities are one thing and then you do something completely different? We all know that life isn't neat and tidy where we always get to do what we want, even assuming “we” know what that is. So we can have days & weeks or even years where we feel obliged to put aspects of our lives somewhat on hold in service of other areas. This need not be work-related. I have some amazing friends who dedicated years to caring for elderly relatives 💖 That meant not pursuing a whole series of [...]

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.
