When things get busy and our action list starts to get longer and longer – we can sometimes feel overwhelmed and like we’re getting nowhere. 

Sound familiar? 

Today I want to cover with you how to stay focused and on top of your game when things start to pile up. 

When we feel overwhelmed and like things are getting away from us – we tend to then procrastinate to compensate for how we feel. 

But this is the worst thing we can do in these moments. Procrastination means we’re getting nothing achieved and it just compounds how we feel. 

What you need in these moments is a strategy and a plan for how to set your days and your weeks up properly, to ensure you are consistently getting your actions done and moving things forward.

One of the biggest areas I see needing to be addressed right now, is the viewpoint taken by many leaders and business owners which is that they need to take on everything and do everything in their team or their business. 

With the market as busy as it is right now, it’s easy to feel like you 'could' and 'should' be doing everything. 

With this mentality of taking on everything and holding everything so tight and so close, burnout and overwhelm is a very real possibility for many. 

Today I want to talk to you about why delegation is so important. 

Many leaders and business owners feel guilty and feel like they’ll lose the respect of those around them if they start to delegate out work. 

I want to talk to you about why this is so not true, and in fact a complete sabotage to the growth of your team and your business. 

You see the reality is you can’t do everything. There are only so many hours in a day and doing one thing takes you away from another thing. 

And if you think about ...

Today I want to talk to you about how to build your confidence in yourself as a leader.

Now, let's be honest, we all have areas of growth and development. To think that right here, right now we have all the skills we will ever need to be an effective leader and to lead and grow our team or business - is a complete non-truth.

A true growth mindset says that we always have the ability to learn, to grow and to get better.

So with this approach to life, who you are right now is absolutely not the person you’ll be in 5 or 10 years time. 

And the person that you grow into as a leader in the next 5 or 10 years time is absolutely up to you. Who you become and who you grow in to will be the sum total of the decisions and the choices that you make today, tomorrow and the next day.

So when it comes to leadership and developing a level of confidence in yourself as a leader, it really boils down to you looking at your skill set right now and then looking at the skill set you want to develop, a...

Do you know what is the most important aspect that will help you succeed at your career or in your business?

It’s 100% improving your Emotional Intelligence or your EQ. 

Today I want to discuss with you something that I’m incredibly passionate about!

Now EQ has always been around, but the focus in our industry has always been on developing and advancing IQ or our technical abilities. 

But as leaders & business owners, if we want to truly advance and succeed at the levels that we’re aiming for – I want you to double down on developing and improving your EQ skills. 

Being able to understand yourself, your team and the people around you more deeply – what drives, motivates, influences and inspires you and others - is always going to see you excelling far more quickly than learning another technical skill.

Today I want to talk to you about a concept that will allow you to confidently win more work. 

And it’s the concept of - adding value to your client’s world. 

This concept works in all areas of winning work, business development, client relationships as well as generating significantly more revenue from your existing client relationships. 

Whether you’re looking at a new client relationship, one that you haven’t done work with before or an existing client relationship, because you’d like to generate more revenue from your current client relationship - I want you to always ask yourself this question – “How can I add value to my client’s world?” 

If you can constantly and consistently be looking at your clients through the lens of – “what do they really need help with” and “what’s the value myself, my team and my business can bring to this client relationship” then you are well on your way to securing a new client or more work from your existing clients. 

Why? 

Because no one else ...

Do you get frustrated and feel like you and your team aren’t meeting your client’s needs? 

Do you feel like you are constantly on the back foot and always trying to play catch up in order to service your clients properly and deepen the relationship? 

Today I want to explore with you one of the best ways to ensure you have an actual plan in place to build successful relationships with your clients. 

This is a busy time at the moment for the Engineering and Construction Industry, and as a business leader it is important that you are doing everything that you possibly can to play the long game and develop client relationships for life.

Do you feel like you are being pulled down into the day-to-day and can’t find the time for the bigger picture strategic thinking and planning?

Do you feel exhausted, tired & overwhelmed, but also feel like you can’t leave your desk or take a break?

Everyone is extremely busy at the moment, but as a business leader you need to be super conscious of your own energy levels and your own priorities in order to balance the demands that are being placed on you.

In today’s video I explore the importance of building in regular ‘resets’ into your day in order to take a break, rest and recharge.

You need to be focused on filling your own cup up first. Otherwise, if you fall down or burnout – who is going to lead and guide those around you?

If you want to be able to function at your best, grow a successful team and business - then it is critical to create regular ‘resets’ in your day.

I hope you’re having an amazing week! 

With everything being so hectic and so busy at the moment, today I want to talk to you about the importance of leveraging your time. 

The reality is that you can’t do everything. And as a leader or business owner, you need to have your attention across all areas of your team or your business. 

That means you need to be across winning work, new business, client relationships, team performance, an aspect of project delivery, as well as the strategic direction and growth of your team or your business. 

You get it, “all of the things”. 

If you try to be deeply across all of the areas of your team or your business that I’ve just mentioned above and you try to take responsibility for all of these areas, you’ll simply blow up and burn out. 

So, if you want to be successful and grow a really profitable team and business, you have to get really good at leveraging your time.

Leveraging your time works in a number of different ways. Firstly it’s deleg...

Are you feeling incredibly frustrated that when you delegate something to your team, they just don't get it? 

Do you feel that no matter how much you try your best to explain things, it seems like you are not being heard?

Did you know that human beings need to see, hear, or do something 7 to 10 times before they actually get it and are able do it by themselves? 

So, if you are expecting that your team or the people around you will understand everything after explaining it once or twice, you will end up being VERY disappointed and frustrated. 

As a business leader, it is important for you to understand that human behaviour will play a big part in the growth of your business.

Having a mindset and an awareness that it will take you 7 to 10 times to explain something before your team actually gets it, will help you immensely. 

If you want to free yourself from some of your daily tasks, become a confident leader and grow a successful team & business – then it is so important that you ...
