Who do you want to be? And are you making the right decisions to head in the optimal direction to achieve this? An unbeatable decision-making 'GPS' when faced with questions like this is having a Word of the Year. It may be unsurprising that, Trust and Sanity are the words that got me through last year.

Your Word of the Year is a reminder of what you value; a focal point to keep you headed in the right direction and making decisions that are authentically you. Join me in this episode as I guide you through using and choosing one Word to help you with every decision you face.

We will talk about:

• Deciding on your values and direction

• Asking the right questions to get to the right places

• What's going to help you take action
• Embracing your thinking place

Having a Word of the Year can make a transformative difference to your outlook and it's not too late to choose one. Keep it on a post-it note, keep it close to your chest, or display it for everyone to see!

Your word is a consistent reminder that this is your baseline for the year.

"Lightning never strikes twice" they say, until it does…

Episode 17 of our 'Let's Talk: Redundancy' series sounds a little different as it comes from across the pond; Chicago, IL to be precise. I'm chatting with Mark Villalovos about not just one, but two redundancy stories.

Comparing one redundancy to another, we delve into all things money, marriage and the vital role that networking can play in getting back a sense of stability. Having been made redundant in the past, Mark feels he is back on shaky ground after being placed on furlough, which looks very different in the US when compared to the UK.

A head strong leader and professional 'doer', Mark encountered the all too familiar hurdle of 'asking for help'. Mark reminds us that there is no need for you to suffer alone when there are people out there who want to help you! Past friends, colleagues, managers. Network, network, network – you may be surprised by just how many people are more than happy to advocate for you.
