My Vision Board

I want to travel the world, with my family – at business class level, to speak with interesting people and on stages about my mission (EO is my global tribe for a lot of that too) which will also be reinforced by different books I write and ideas I share widely.

My businesses will feed that mission in different ways and the BHAG goals are there (5m people finding their ideal career paths with CareerFit; 25,000 roles finding the ideal candidates with Talent Select; 10 events around the world aimed at different facets of the mission; 500k people getting online training through our different video on demand programmes.)

My “Why” is to help people to Aspire to a better future and Empower them to get there.  I’m on a mission to make the world a better place with happy people in fulfilling, rewarding careers.

Two phrases that were seared into my psyche at different EO leadership events (RLA and GLA!) are “Lift where wou stand” (don’t wait to climb the mountain before you help people, help those where you can and continue moving on) & “Are you a good leader, or a leader for good?” after a tour of the holocaust museum in Washington and touring Rosevelt’s memorial beside it as the two leaders with different perspectives – both good leaders.

My core values of:

  • Do The Right Thing
  • Inclusively Empathetic
  • Humbly Proud

– shape how I do things and how my businesses run.

I want to have 1 Million followers across different channels to share and hopefully inspire people to be happier people and find/create fulfilling, rewarding careers.

I want to speak both Spanish and Arabic to an Upper Intermediate / CEFR B2 level.

I want to complete a triathlon.

My HAPPY Life List (Bucket List)

Figuring out your own “Top 20” list

When I was going through a difficult time trying to figure out what I wanted out of life and probably having my own mid life crisis, my friend Conor Neill‘s video popped up on my feed at exactly the right time.  It gave me so much insight and so many thought provoking questions – which lead to my list of “Top 20” above…
