Say No to STRESS
Stress creates unhealthy biological reactions, and prolonged stress can lead to both physical and mental health breakdowns.

Corporate
Leadership
To be where you are, you are already doing a good job in many ways. Whether you are the CEO, managing director of a SME, or in a start up business you can look around you and see evidence of how your company is supporting its staff's wellbeing and development. So who is supporting you? Who is giving you honest feedback, challenging your thinking, and helping you to take ultimate responsibility and have total accountability? Who is ensuring that you improve your work/life balance and reduce your stress levels?
'The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves' Ray Kroc
When you are at the top of the tree it becomes very easy to lose focus and spend less time being visionary. Your business is a complete reflection of you, your strategies, your beliefs and your lacks. Success, profitability and longevity are not about better management, they are about a renaissance of self-direction. Never before has this been so important in business.
Ask yourself these six important questions:
1. Am I achieving the business and life goals I want in my life?
2. Am I free of unwanted habits and beliefs?
3. Will I reach my business and life goals if I keep doing what I've always been doing?
4. What do I need to improve?
5. Where do I need to just get out there and aim for excellence?
6. Am I happy in my life?
Now consider how you might be infecting your business? Do you, or do you know anyone that has any of these symptoms?

Top 11 Leadership to do's
1. Stop giving orders – being the boss is no longer, if it ever was, about issuing orders. Ordering change is a waste of time.
2. Start offering encouragement – the way to lead is to cultivate other leaders, identify and invest in people that will lead themselves towards bigger and better things. Your job is to recognise them.
3. Start listening – really hear what is really going on in your business, not what you want to hear
4. Engage engage engage – understand the people that work for you, they are your business
5. Fail – Accept mistakes as the price of greatness, learn from them
6. Be Authentic – the first ingredient of incredible leadership is trust…with total trust everything is possible
7. Passion – show you love what you do
8. Chill – know when to take a break
9. Don't have all the answers – 'I don't know' is the ultimate permission slip for a leader. If you answer everything no one will think for himself or herself and you will become a busy fool
10. Feedback – invite honest feedback from all corners of your business to help you know how best to serve your employees
11. Accept Responsibility – people won't remember what you said, or what you did, but they will remember how you made them feel.

What do my clients say about me...
“Becki has a magical ability to connect with her clients. I believe her strongest asset is the skill she possesses to enable you to find your own answers to your own questions. I have been struggling for years personally, and with my business to find growth within my life. Becki has really helped me to look at the bigger picture. Her techniques are simple (simple is often best) and really do work. Since working with Becki my life and my business has rocketed.”
AT - Managing Director
“My role within the family company has significantly changed in the last two years and I have gone from being the employee to the employer, employing over 80 staff.. I always knew this transition would happen at some stage and I wanted/intended to prepare for it but didn't know what I should do to prepare and in the end did nothing!.
Having been recommended by a friend about Life Coaching I took up the offer to meet with Becki for the initial 1st session, approaching it with a very open mind...I haven't looked back, I have overcome several personal fears the main one being public speaking!! I have learnt so much more about myself and my values in both family and in business and my outlook is now a much better picture.”
S.W - Managing Director
“Becki and I met for a series of life coaching sessions. This was a period of change in my life and the focus she provided was invaluable. With her energy, motivation, and 'can do' attitude she was able to provide practical methods of support and techniques for self-development. I finished the sessions feeling empowered and focused on the decisions that lay ahead. I would have no hesitation in employing her services again in the future or in recommending her to others”
