In the unpredictable tides of life and business, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by factors beyond our control. However, there are two elements that are always within our grasp: our effort and our attitude.

I was recently inspired by the words of sporting mindset coach Mark Zimmerman, who says, “You can't control the weather, the opposition…or even your teammates' performance, but you can always control the effort you put in and the attitude you bring.”

Now, I believe this philosophy isn't just vital on the rugby field, but crucial in the business arena too. With all of the external pressures we face daily, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But remember, amidst this chaos, our effort and attitude are the only two things we really can control.

Today, we’ll explore how mastering these elements can lead to significant success, helping us perform better daily and take control of our response to everyday challenges.

I’ll share practical strategies to harness their power, including practising gratitude and crafting a 90-day plan.

While we can't control every aspect of our environment, we can always control our response. I hope you're inspired to take control of your effort and attitude, transforming your challenges into stepping stones for success.

Have you ever stopped to think about what you truly know about the people you work with?

Beyond the daily tasks and project requirements, how much do you actually understand about your colleagues and clients? It’s easy to get caught up in calendar commitments and project plans, but shifting your focus towards truly knowing the individuals around you can be incredibly powerful.

At the end of the day, people buy people. People want to work with people. And it’s the people who make our work worth doing and give us the energy to keep going every day. Let’s dive into five ways you can deepen your working relationships that will help you both now and into tomorrow.

Today, we’re exploring how to create genuine connections so that we can deepen our working relationships and create the influence and impact we truly desire through our work.

I’ll also take you through practical ways to intentionally connect with those around you:

1. Shift your focus from deadlines and deliverables to the people executing them

2. Show genuine interest in other’s lives

3. Be fully present

4. Celebrate both the big and small wins of your colleagues

5. Offer support during challenging times

By focusing on these strategies, you can create deeper and more meaningful working relationships. Remember, it’s about the people you surround yourself with that enrich your professional life, give you purpose and provide the energy needed to thrive every day.

If you could be unreasonable about something in your business or in your career,  what would it be and why?

Now, when I say unreasonable, I’m not talking about an unwillingness to cooperate. I’m talking about unreasonable excellence, the area in your business for which you go above and beyond the call of duty. The special something that really sets you apart.

The reason I'm asking this question is because whilst in New York recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing the renowned Eleven Madison Park, a restaurant with many accolades and the reputation for unreasonably outstanding hospitality.

From the spectacular plant-based menu, the intentional connection from each member of staff, to the dedication to ensure each guest had a special experience, it was apparent why Eleven Madison Park has become legendary.

And it got me thinking - how can we follow their lead and show up in an equally extraordinary way in our own businesses?

Today, we’re talking about recognising what sets us apart in business, and making the choice to show up in an unreasonably excellent way that’s unique to each of us. We’ll also explore the power of connection, and how being intentional with it can create a ripple effect that transforms lives.

So, ask yourself: what changes might you need to make to really show up in your business in a spectacular way? Chances are you’re already sitting on the answer - it’s all about following through and embracing the authority you have to let your gift shine.
