As the night's draw in - it's time to look inward ??

It’s half term week this week and whilst the childcare has fallen through I am going to manage (attempt) work time and some time off.

And I am thinking we need to look after ourselves at this time of year.

What do you need? ??

When I really sat and thought about it- I was on the train on Monday morning into London,? and I was looking at the trees with their colour changing leaves and I thought - I need to touch leaves. And a tree. And I want to hear them scrunching under my feet. See the blue sky. Feel the cold on my face - I need to get outside!

I also want to be still. On the sofa. That is it!

If we spend the time thinking about it- we usually know what we need. We just need to make the time to really feel it.

I used to be terrible at this. I used to think that I should just carry on at 100 miles an hour. But it’s not sustainable and ultimately about 10 years ago I became quite ill and developed an auto immune condition. So now I am much better at tuning in to what I "need".

And with the darker days in the UK I feel like this is a good time to do just that.

Here are some ideas to help get YOU started on finding what you need:

Refresh Your Learning and Development

Autumn is a brilliant time to pick up new skills or renew your focus on personal development. This doesn’t have to mean attending every available seminar; it could simply involve dedicating time each week to read, listen to podcasts, or attend workshops that broaden your skills. For business owners in recruitment, staying on top of industry changes and building your knowledge is so important. In a season of learning and change, investing in your own growth directly impacts the value you bring to clients and teams.

Practical Tip:

Identify one new skill or area of knowledge to develop before the year’s end. Whether it’s a course, certification, or simply diving into a series of relevant books, this added focus will fuel growth for yourself and your business. Do my BD mini Course!
