I learned 'Estimate+40%' on actual job sites 🏗️
Before I built businesses, I built roads.

“My Dear, Find what you love & let it kill you. Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back & weigh you down into eventual nothingness. Let it kill you & let it devour your remains. For all things will kill you, both slowly & fastly, but it's much better to be killed by a lover.” ~ Falsely yours Charles Bukowski
I heard this quote today & can’t get it out of my head. 📚

‘Strategy’ is simple.
It’s the considered application of power,
to a specific problem, to achieve a desired outcome.
Good Strategy needs to be:
• 🗺️ Accurate to the reality you face
• 🧭 Aligned with your goals & values
• 🏃♂️ Actionable within time & resources
*Doing it is hard.*

What would I tell myself at 18?🤔
That creating a sense of psychological safety is the only real way to create trust & cultivate long term & sustainable growth (in yourself & in the teams you lead).

To start her very own business with her very own allowance (and a loan for capital from Dad), launching ‘Desert Lemonade’ on the July Long Weekend.

‘The Show Must Go On’ means something…
The next time you can’t find the right fit for a role, bet on the former ‘Theatre Kid’, odds are good that you won’t regret it. 😉

I didn’t know it would take 20 years…
But it felt great to finally break through in a coaching relationship with a client.
So what’s next? We’re focusing on building new skills & tackling new problems.💪
