It’s nearly September! And I cannot resist the urge to sing along with Earth, Wind and Fire at every opportunity!

I LOVE this month. For nerds like me, who geek out on learning, productivity and personal growth, September brings so much positive “back to school” energy and a real impetus to Get Sh*t Done before the inevitable crawl towards the end of the year.

And with my kid back in school (your mileage may vary here), it’s also a chance to focus on ME again, after a wonderful but messy summer spent doing the juggle.

So this month you’ll find me mostly:

  • Easing back into exercise

  • FINALLY getting my hair done (IYKYK)

  • Getting some essential but boring repairs done at home (my least favourite way to spend my time and money!)

  • Working ON my coaching business, not just in it!

  • Launching the next cohort of my group coaching programme The Confident Leader (more details here if you are interested in joining us)

  • Supporting my one to one clients who want to finish the year strong

  • Making plans for this newsletter! As we build the community, I want to do more events that will really benefit you in your career and on that note…

If one of your blockers at work is our old friend imposter syndrome, then join me for a free workshop on Friday Sept 6th at 11:00am GMT.

Here’s the sign-up link: Free Workshop on Overcoming Self-Limiting Beliefs

In approx 40 minutes, I’ll take you through some practical tips and some essential mindset shifts if you want to overcome these feelings and move past any self-limiting beliefs that may be holding you back in your career. Sounds a bit “woo” I know, but it’s amazing how powerful these thoughts and feelings can be and how much they impact our leadership behaviour and performance at work.

I hope to see you there, and please do forward to anyone else in your circle who may benefit.

Now. back to business.

Below is part one of your September Career Reset. This is a paid post, but from now on I will be sharing free posts on a more regular basis too, once a month. So you’ll never miss out, but you WILL miss some of the most valuable and practical leadership and career advice I can give you, as a qualified coach and corporate leader of more than 20 years (yes, I’m old…)
