Most teams don’t struggle because of a lack of skill, strategy, or resources. They struggle because people avoid the conversations that matter. Performance issues get tip‑toed around. Misunderstandings get buried. Tension gets normalised. Decisions get made on assumptions instead of reality. Fierce Conversations exists to solve that problem — by giving leaders the courage, clarity and capability to talk about what’s really going on. Avoided Conversations Don’t Disappear — The

Authenticity has become one of those words that gets thrown around so often it starts to lose meaning. But in leadership — and in life — authenticity is one of the most powerful assets you have. Not because it’s warm or inspirational. But because it creates clarity, trust, and consistency. And those three things shape every relationship you have, inside and outside the workplace. Authenticity is about alignment. Your values, your behaviour, and your communication all pointing

In a world that moves faster than our nervous systems were ever designed for, resilience has quietly become one of the most valuable human skills. Not the loud, heroic kind we see in films — but the everyday resilience that helps us stay grounded, adaptable, and emotionally intelligent when life or work throws something unexpected our way. It’s a superpower not because it makes us invincible, but because it makes us resourceful. Resilience Isn’t About “Toughing It Out” For

Wow...What a Vacation. So for my birthday I was taken to South Africa as I'd always wanted to do a safari and it was beyond all expectations. It had always been on my bucket list and having got back just last week (which seems a lifetime away) I am still reflecting on the whole experience. So many highlights including coming face to face with 6 hippos and walking on foot along side the wild lions in the bush with the rangers which is easier said than done because every thoug

Resistance seem to be happening more and more in the workplace but resistance at work can be misunderstood. Leaders label it as pushback, negativity, or lack of commitment — but in reality, resistance is a signal. It’s a form of communication. And when managers learn to read that signal, they unlock one of the most powerful levers for engagement. In emotionally intelligent organisations, resistance isn’t something to fight. It’s something to listen to. So why does resistance

One is a destination. The other is the engine. Leaders with a strong mindset don’t crumble under pressure — they adapt. When people fail to hit goals, it’s rarely because the goal was wrong — it’s because their internal identity didn’t support the behaviours required. A goal can end the moment you hit it (or abandon it) but your mindset shapes every decision, every day. That’s why people can: • Hit a fitness goal and then slide back • Get promoted but st

In a world of accelerating change, emotional intelligence (EI) is no longer a soft skill—it’s a strategic asset. As we approach 2026, the demands on leaders are intensifying: economic uncertainty, hybrid workforces, rising mental health concerns, and the need for inclusive, adaptive leadership. Yet many organisations still treat emotional intelligence as a checkbox—something to be covered in a half-day workshop or skimmed over in a generic training module. That’s the pain poi

In a world that celebrates the hustle and bustle, I chose pause. Before launching Target the Mind, I made a conscious decision to step away from work—not to escape, but to reconnect. To be present with myself, with loved ones, and with the quiet spaces that often get drowned out by deadlines and being always on the go. It has been a few weeks of just being instead of doing. I went to Athens which was amazing and a must see and a trip to Malaga to see friends and what I found

“What if the biggest obstacle to your success isn’t your skillset—but your mindset?” Coaching isn’t about fixing people—it’s about unlocking potential. • It provides a safe, structured space for reflection, challenge, and growth. • Coaches help individuals move from reactive to proactive, from stuck to strategic. “In over 14 years of coaching, I’ve seen first hand how the right question at the right time can change the trajectory of someone’s life.” Why Mindset Training Is
