#WeeklyNRG – A Snapshot of All Things #NRG This week’s theme? Generosity creates connection. Sometimes it is giving our time, sometimes sharing what we have, and sometimes simply making room for someone else. The result is often far greater than the gesture itself. The Weekly Debrief Well, what a week that was. Mum and Dad came to visit us in France for the first time, and it was certainly an adventure from the very beginning. I travelled to London to collect them, only f

#WeeklyNRG – A Snapshot of All Things #NRG This week’s theme? Making space to rest, play and notice the small moments that turn into the memories we carry with us. The Weekly Debrief Last week brought one of those reminders that joy is often hiding in the smallest details. I watched two young children completely mesmerised by my husband playing guitar. They were dancing, laughing and moving like no one was watching. It was brilliant. There was such freedom in it. No self-c

#WeeklyNRG – A Snapshot of All Things #NRG This week’s theme? Feeding your mind, feeding your business — how the stories we read and reflect on can sharpen the way we lead, even in a quieter week. The Weekly Debrief Last week was a little quieter in terms of major events, but still full of activity. There was the very real workout of cleaning gites in 35‑degree heat, speaking for the Institute of Leadership, attending a 10‑week accelerator start‑up awards, picking up a new ca

#WeeklyNRG – A Snapshot of All Things #NRG This week’s theme? You never know who you’ll meet… and how those encounters can help you laugh, learn, recharge and remember what all the busyness is for. The Weekly Debrief As readers know, last Saturday I travelled back to the UK for two weeks in Cardiff: board meetings, family get‑togethers, nights out with friends and business events. It promised to be a fun‑packed 14 days and I can confirm it’s been very busy. We’ve had to be ad

#WeeklyNRG – A Snapshot of All Things #NRG This week’s theme? Adaptability – staying open, flexible and curious when life doesn’t quite go to plan. The Weekly Debrief As the temperatures ramped up, so did the workload. Last week was full-on with coaching sessions, NED work, client reviews and board appraisals. The kind of week where the diary looks like a game of professional Tetris. In the middle of it all, I still managed to squeeze in a friend’s 40th birthday celebration a

After a little rest and time to reset, #WeeklyNRG is back! I’ve missed sharing what’s been happening behind the scenes. The bursts of activity, the big reflections, the lessons that keep me (mostly) on track, and the occasional “what was I thinking?” moments. So, let’s dive back in! The Weekly Debrief It’s been a busy one! The Gîtes are finally open for the season, and we’ve already welcomed our first guests. Two glowing 5-star reviews later, we’ve kept our Airbnb Superhost b

In the pursuit of success, one ingredient stands out as the secret sauce that turns dreams into reality: consistency. It's not the flashy marketing campaigns or the occasional burst of inspiration that propels individuals and businesses forward; it's the steady rhythm of consistent effort that weaves the fabric of success. In this #weeklyNRG we’ll learn why consistency is valued and how to build or improve upon your consistent actions. Consistency refers to the quality or sta
