Life

Fake it till you make it never sat right with me, so this is the WHO acronym I use instead when I’m coaching.

Nigel owned up to playing small with his own programme, and I owned up to what still holds me back.

We turned up with no plan, which suited an episode about daydreaming and why slowing down gets me better results.

Nigel breaks his own golden rule on a flight to the Cayman Islands, and I finally turn up early at his house.

A runner called Ken, a soaked tent and Nigel’s silent fire walks. What happens when other people know what you’ve promised.

Nigel dared me to rap, so I did. Then we got onto committing to your commitments and cleaning up my language.

Nigel gets told his new book has too many coloured pages by someone who hasn’t written one, and we get onto doing your best.

Nigel owns up to wrecking his brother’s favourite tape as a kid, and I explain the unwritten rule at Woodmill Bridge in Southampton.

Nigel read me a poem with no warning, and a few minutes later he had a nosebleed in the middle of recording.

Nigel’s first story of 2020 is a lesson in jumping to conclusions. Plus why I ignore the best and worst 2% of feedback and look at everyone in the middle.

The S in FOCUS is stick with the plan, with Nigel’s Pizza Hut to Orlando book rewards and me finally letting go of my summit.
