I don’t come across many people who don’t fear failure. The truth is the more I discover about people who have had extraordinary success the more I find people who have had to go through many failures to get there. It seems that, in order to succeed you need to adopt the view that failure …
With the Commonwealth Games on I’ve been interested to read about what motivates the athletes to do what they do. Adam Peaty suffered a shock defeat on Sunday and yet this was the kick he needed to motivate him to success and a gold medal. He needed to keep going. Motivation is key if you …
I have watched with interest as President Zelensky has emerged as such an inspiring leader in Ukraine. It is clear he is inspiring his fellow countrymen to stand their ground against Russian aggression. He is not doing this through fear he is doing it by standing with them and modelling the way forward. This is …
