“You can’t be performing, making decisions, or communicating when you are feeling the fog.” 

“Understand what is driving your mindset and how you make decisions is vital.” 

“You don’t have to be perfect 100% just be aware.” 

“We are so governed to avoid pain rather than exploring pleasure, we don’t realise what we like.” 

“If we don’t know our purpose, why we are doing what we do, it’s so easy to get derailed.”

“If you are not gaining joy from what you do you are in the wrong job” 

“You can’t tell people what they want - you have to help them see what they are missing.” 

“ What if we just stop making it about us winning business and just about understanding what people need.”
