Being decisive through renewed focus and direction

I’m lost.

It feels like it’s been a crazy, manic few weeks.

I’ve been burning the energy stored up from the summer.

Starting to feel tired.

Not yet exhausted.

When every moment is precious. The pressure on. How does looking after yourself really come into the equation?

How does the need for purpose and visible progress drive you?

By Sian Taylor • December 10, 2021
What drives you? Are you in it for the long-game, or do you need to see success and progress each step of the way? Here I share how I'm driven by a desire for 'instant-gratification' and how that plays out in work.

The impossibility of saying ‘no’

By Sian Taylor • November 9, 2021
How often do you get caught in situations where you can't say no? The pressures on and yet it's impossible to turn down the work you've just been lined up to take on. It's not straightforward to simply step back. Here's my recent experience of trying to balance that out for myself.
