Loved every minute this week of delivering the 2 day transformational 'Becoming More Significant' programme and seeing the light bulb moments and the visible increases in self-esteem and confidence as the days progressed.
I feel so fortunate to love what I do and to get wonderful feedback like this -
"Hi Sylvia,
I just wanted to say a big thank you for the last two days we spent with you,
I found it incredibly motivating and uplifting. It has completely changed my mindset and made me believe I am valued and that I do bring value to the business and my personal life.
I’ve come away telling everyone how brilliant and eye opening it was and how much I’ve learnt!
Also, I’ve made a conscious effort today to choose a healthy energising lunch and it’s made me feel great!"

How much of your working time are you doing the work you love and the work where you are most on flow? That's where you will add most value, have the greatest impact and be truly significant in the world, starting a ripple effect of transformation and change wherever you go!!

Loving the Wisdom and Insights from 6 incredible guests & expansion on the learnings with practical actions to become a more empowered, impactful & significant version of yourself.

Leanne “By speaking about it, it’s empowering others to speak about their difficulties and the more I speak about it, the more other people say ‘I too am one in four! That has happened to me!’

Joe Foster “Take the risk, doesn’t matter if it fails. I failed at least 6 times to get into America, I could’ve given up – ‘no’ – every time there’s a lesson there and it’s how to handle it”.

Angela Burton “Being able to do that is realizing a dream that I never knew I had, but it’s probably & inherently, my path in life. I believe that we have a path in life & we are lucky if we find it.”
Feet to the Fire Writers' Workshops
Dr Poonam Malik “This is the year when we have to make the world leaders agree to something that keeps that world temperature down to 1.5 degrees., It’s not someone else’s backyard problem, it’s reaching everywhere, so now is the time to take action”

Russell Wardrop “You are never more alive than when you are challenged, when all your chips are in the middle & you await the turn of the last card, when there is everything to play for.”
Kissing With Confidence Ltd
Courtney Lawrence “We want to make sure that everyone at some point gets on this path because it is a path of healing, it is a path of community, it is a path of support & we want people to carry that on.”

Loved re-listening to these key insights from my incredible guests, expanding on the learnings from each one with practical actions we can take right now to become a more empowered, impactful & significant version of ourselves.

Lis Cashin – ‘It was a car crash that gave me a wake-up call. I realised that if I carried on this path of self-destruction, I would die’.

TJ Power – ‘how can I communicate with myself in a way that’s going to support my mind? What behaviour is my body guiding me to do at this moment’?

Michelle Janse Van Rensburg - ‘If it’s harnessed correctly, it’s like having a ‘Super-Power’. Just as much as you battle to focus, when you do focus, it’s hyper-focussed!’

Nikki McGowan – ‘If I can share my story and what I came through and how I have transcended, it shows other people can do the same.’

Graham McWilliams – ‘I tell them all the time to puff their chests out because we’re not good at that. We should be really proud of what we’ve achieved & we’re doing really well so let’s celebrate that!’

Ricky Locke – ‘Every day you wake up it’s a grateful moment to create magic to inspire people.’ Michelle Janse van Rensburg

Time to let your inner brilliance shine and start a ripple effect of impact across the globe!

05/05/2022

I feel so inspired by the thought-provoking insights from 5 deep conversations with amazing guests who were prepared to share their stories and their vulnerabilities.

I have expanded on the learnings from each one with practical actions to take right now to become a more empowered, confident & significant version of ‘YOU’.

“My greatest fear is living a life of mediocrity. I want to go all out for the time I’m here and while I am not about to risk my life climbing Everest or Running the Marathon de Sable, the day I stop stretching and challenging myself would be the day I decide it’s time to shuffle off this mortal coil!”

“If I know that I can work with somebody truly brilliant and original and change their life, I know mine is going to be changed in many respects. What motivates me is working with the best and brightest and creating that significance”
“Sometimes we think that our career is everything. We get so much joy and fulfilment from it but there’s so much more to life.

• So, what makes you the person you are today?
• What’s your story?
• How could you use your life experience to inspire others to step up?

Life is too short to hide behind a mask of mediocrity, being a shadow of the person you were born to be.

If you were on your death bed now. -would you regret a life half lived or would you know that you had lived your legacy and were leaving you indelible imprint on the world?

That endless journey into yourself is the most exciting journey. You will ever take in your life and the magic is – it’s limitless!

Wonderful Wisdom and Insights from 5 more amazing guests with the learnings and practical actions we can all take right now to become a more empowered, impactful and significant version of ourselves.
It’s often life’s challenges that stop us in our tracks, bringing up some searching questions and inspiring us to make tough decisions.
Without adversity and challenge, we would just sail through life on the sea of complacency that is our comfort zone and we would miss the sheer joy of stretching into pastures new and continually evolving into the most powerful, impactful and wonderful version of ourselves.
‘Human beings are amazing and we have more control over things than we believe and if we are able to anchor into that when times are difficult, we’ll lift our heads up and even when we are at the very depth of a trench, we will be able to see the mountain in front of us’.
‘When you face significant adversity, it’s almost as a signal to stop and consider your future pathway. We can always turn adversity into action, trauma into triumph and suffering into growth’.
Are you ready to bring an empowered, confident and re-charged version of ‘You’ into the next phase of your life?
· What’s the ripple effect of impact you are creating in your circle of influence and beyond?
· How visible and credible are you?

Are you being 'selfish' or 'selfless'?

21/04/2022

Wonderful Wisdom and Insights from 5 truly significant guests, expanding on the learnings & practical actions to take to become a more empowered, impactful & significant version of yourself.

“What is the point of having a belly if you haven’t got a fire in it” Simon Sinek

Where are you stretching yourself right now? How are you growing stronger? How often does your next step scare you?

Stories light up parts of the brain that mere words don’t reach. They paint the picture, captivate and engage the listeners and mean that you stay in the minds of others long after you have interacted.

'Don’t limit your ambitions, it’s all about the quality, the strategy and the people. The people are the absolute ‘secret sauce’.

‘Life will test you at every corner – it wants you to grow, to develop, to improve. The struggle makes the ’gift’ so much better’.

‘You have to learn about yourself first’ –

“The beginning of all knowledge is in self-awareness” Carl Yung

OUT TODAY Wisdom and Insights - The key learnings from 5 conversations with incredible guests plus practical actions to take right now to become a more empowered, impactful and significant version of yourself.

I was so inspired re-listening to these podcasts and hearing fresh wisdom that had passed me by – “Repetition is the Mother of all learning!”

Just a few of the many takeaways below

“Get yourself out of the way & be a conduit for all the insights & wisdom that come through you to share. Make yourself small, it’s not about YOU!” Geoff Thompson

“Why can’t you do things? Don’t get upset, you can’t change the past, it’s happened, just focus on the future and move on”. Nicola Dawson

“I think part of becoming more significant is building in those daily habits and identifying what those goals are and making sure every day a little micro-step happens no matter how small”. Camilla Long, MCMI

“In my study of cells, I discovered a pattern that helped me predict what the future will look like for humanity”
Christian Kromme

“It’s not just about developing software; it’s about inspiring the next generation. The company mission is to be the garden where ideas grow”. Maria Bell

Out today - the Best Bits! - Totally inspired by the wonderful insights from 5 amazing guests summarised and expanded with fresh learnings here.

“There are 2 big ‘C’s in the world, Communication and Change. If you can get those right most of the time, you are in with a chance of running a good business. When you come to that place of understanding how the brain works, then you can start to have a decent conversation without being defensive"

"We all want to know we are good enough…and you just need someone, anyone to say you are. It doesn’t matter what your title is, we all need that affirmation of our worth”.
The ‘Jack of all trades’ culture many of us were brought up in just doesn’t cut it in the business world of today. People want to work with experts, ‘masters’ of their trade, they want the ‘best’ their budget can stretch to.

Prepare well and bring the best of yourself to every interaction. You will make deposits in the Bank accounts of TRUST of everyone you meet.

Thank you for your valuable insights Janice B Gordon - Customer Growth Expert Brian williamson Lynda Shaw Christine Esson Graham Brown

Re-releasing Today - ‘Wisdom and Insights’ from exceptional podcast guests and some deeper learnings that I have taken from them that I want to share again with you here

One thing my podcast guests all have in common is ‘Making a difference’. They are clear on their raison d’être, and how it guides them through to achieving their desires in life - whatever they may be.

I ask them the key question – ‘How are you being Significant in the world?’ In other words – what difference do you make to the people you live and work with?

Some golden nuggets:

“Have conversations that really matter, being totally present for the people we are with and instead of just asking ‘how are you?’ ask a much better question – ‘How are you TODAY?’” Dan Keeley

“Be a positive force in people’s lives” Barnaby Wynter

‘Ask yourself - am I doing the things that are right for me? Do they satisfy my ‘why’ – my purpose in life?’

‘Find your purpose, focus on why’

Sometimes it's so good to relive the best of the insights from Becoming More Significant series.These things have a canny knack of reappearing at the right time.Today we hear from the best of the podcasts, from Dan Keeley and his brilliant contrib...

Great insights on Top of the Pods - Out today -one of the most downloaded episodes of 2021 - Katharine Henley leads Baringa’s People and Change Practice. She is fascinated by the future of work and how social revolution has started to challenge command and control styles of leadership, enabling a more diverse workplace.

She said - “Where I see programmes fail is where that people element hasn’t been considered and because leaders aren’t leading the culture. They haven’t seen themselves as being accountable for the culture that exists within an organisation and don’t understand that it’s their behaviours that will impact on mindsets, performance and new ways of working”.

It’s like your brain cannot switch off and part of my journey has been to say ‘Ok how do we harness that and take this extremist personality and create it into balance.

If it’s harnessed correctly, it’s like having a ‘Super-Power’. Just as much as you battle to focus, when you do focus, it’s hyper-focussed! Claire Alexander
