A bit about me

I aim to do the boring things well, over and over again and slowly get better at things I want to be better at. I love being around people and love being on my own in equal measures. Sometimes I don’t know which of these I need for me to recalibrate if I’m feeling off. I often get it wrong. I love my partner and daughter with every ounce of my being. I would do anything for them. I admire the people in my life for a variety of reasons and learn from them often. I have worked hard to nurture the important relationships in my life. As a family, we work together to minimise the stress we deal with day to day. I like both working hard and working smart and am getting better at switching off from work stuff when I don’t need to be on. I think I interpret productivity differently than I used to. I have always worked directly with people. I love working with people. I got my first job when I was 13. I always asked if there was anything else that needed to be done before I left. The owner told my mum she thought that was special. I always get a buzz from seeing others do well. I find a classroom setting a bit like torture except when I have an inspiring teacher. Then I could sit there for hours. I have had pretty solid habits around exercise for the best part of 30 years, trying new things, putting in effort and staying as consistent as I can year after year. There were a handful of times scattered throughout this period when this was not the case. I have had numerous coaches and mentors throughout my life who impacted me greatly and continue to do so; however I have always felt I learn the most from looking inward. I always take the longest route to get somewhere so that I can learn the most on the way. This isn’t always a conscious decision and is only starting to make sense to me now.
