Do what is right and true

Yesterday lunchtime, for my final session of 2021, we are radikl invited me to run a webinar around my new book 365 Ways To Have a Good Day. It was for their week long Business Bootcamp around the theme of kindness.

What I love about the movement and community Sarah King and Claire Dunn have created is that they keep it real. They have created a powerful movement of female founders based not on hype and hustle, but on the reality of starting your own venture. Sarah and Claire are great role models and leaders for telling it like it is. If you are a fellow founder or entrepreneur we all know that working life is hard. So I think making the right choices about what is sacred to us and about the fuel we need is critically important. And that idea of making the right choices - is at the heart of my new book.

Yesterday turned out to be a really special session. It was one of those occasions where it felt heavy with meaning and with emotion. After the challenges and uncertainties of 2021, it felt good to take time and space to reflect on self-care and what each of us needs to have a good day.

I ended the session reading this extract, Idea No 96 from the book, from Jerry Colonna:

In his book ‘Reboot! Leadership & The Art of Growing Up,’ Jerry suggests giving up the need for measurable progress. Instead, he says, focus on doing what is right and true each day. This way, you’d live in congruence with your truest self, where the meaning of your life was a function of the meaning of each day. And each day, an expression of your life.

I think that’s beautiful. How’s that for a call to action for 2022? Let’s focus on doing what is ‘right and true.
