It's great to be back for season 5! If you're like me, September is often a time to refresh and recalibrate. A time to think, where am I going? Am I doing the right things? What do I need to start/stop? This year I became an accredited Neurolanguage Coach® and I'd like to start the new season giving you a mini coaching session to help you get clarity on what your true motivation is, what things you should prioritise and how you are going to push yourself forward.
