Mastering Habits: Transforming Your Behaviour for Success
As we grow, we develop habits or behaviours that we learn from our peers or our parents - or just because we keep repeating how we go about things. These learned behaviours become habitual - some good and some bad.
This course is not about improving your technical competence. You can learn that from a book or an expert in their field. It is your behaviour - not your expertise - that is most likely to have the biggest impact on your performance and success at work and your life as a human!
The content that follows is my description of a number of habits that I have adopted, some of which may help you to navigate people and situations in work and in life. These are habits that have helped me to get more joy and success.
I hope at least some of these resonate with you and become lifelong behaviours that help you to perform better and to get more from life.

Professional coach and Entrepreneur
About Me I’ve worked for big corporates, started and successfully grown my own businesses, as well as helped others start and grow theirs. My own business has been a marketing then digital agency followed by starting and growing a management consultancy. I am currently a non-exec and have been Chairman, CEO and Sales and Marketing Director.  I have been advising and mentoring friends, colleagues, companies and teams throughout my career. I believe my life and commercial experience gives me the wisdom and insight to support you as your ‘companion on an unexpected journey’. My Coaching My coaching practice and learning has made me realise that effective coaching can be positively life changing. My experience means I am able to mentor and advise when asked, or if I feel it’s appropriate, but my ambition is to get to the heart of your issues and work with you to overcome them and achieve the goals you set for yourself. I am not formulaic and will adapt my coaching to your needs and aspirations. I am told I have a natural gift to bring humour into my coaching, as well as empathy - and I am confident that we’ll enjoy working together. Let’s give you the time and space to become who you’d like to be. My core values are that trust is at the heart of meaningful human relationships and allows you to be true to yourself and inspire confidence in others. Here are a couple of candidate areas where we can work together:                      Presentation/ meeting skills                   Relationship management         What’s my purpose? Imposter syndrome                               Articulating yourself better       Career progression                                Other Experience I have worked in most sectors with teams of all shapes and sizes, so I will be able to understand the context of your work situation. I can help you with team conflict, business presentations and pitching, relationship management and business development. I support entrepreneurs especially in digital and have advised on scaling companies and digital transformation.  www.enchiridion.me.
