You cannot get a runner’s high by simply imagining the treadmill; you have to lace up your trainers and move. The same is true for our goals. While the ‘manifestor’s high’ of dreaming on paper feels like progress, it is no substitute for the hard-won satisfaction of taking action. Use your vision as a starting point, but remember: the real magic is in the doing.

January arrives with its familiar expectations: resolutions, resets, reinventions. New year, new you. Veganuary. Dry January. The gym membership you'll definitely use this time.

We've been sold the idea that transformation has a calendar date, that change only counts when it starts on 1st January. But here's what nobody tells you about fresh starts: they're available every single day, and the best ones? They rarely happen when everyone else is watching.

What if the secret to a meaningful life isn't found in chasing more, but in cherishing what's already in front of us? This Christmas Eve, I'm reflecting on a simple truth from The Little Prince that's changed how I see everything.

You don't need to harden your heart to be strong. Real strength is choosing kindness even when life gives you reasons not to. When your generosity isn't returned, when your intentions are misunderstood, it can make you question yourself. But don't. Your good heart is not the problem; it's your superpower

December 21 is the winter solstice, the longest night of the year. I like to use this moment to review my goals and set a clear path for the year ahead. What’s one goal you’re focusing on in 2026?

The events industry doesn't pause in December, but you should. These five practices will restore your capacity to lead with energy and purpose when it matters most.

Most people crumble under pressure because they rely on sheer willpower, trying to fight stress while it’s spiking. Calm people operate on a system: they build small, regulating habits long before the emergency, ensuring they always respond, never react.

By using event psychology and behavioural principles, you can create events that don't just fill a schedule, they leave a lasting impression. They create stories people will tell again and again.

Events should energise us, not drain us. Here's how to make well-being a priority, whether you're planning an event or attending one.

There is no right or wrong Christmas. It's a time when we should all be permitted to do whatever we genuinely enjoy, free from expectation. If Christmas is meant to be a time of giving, let's start by giving ourselves permission to enjoy it on our own terms.

I thrive on creating events that connect people, generate meaningful moments, and transform concepts into memorable experiences. I believe the path from dream to reality is paved with a clear mindset, intentional language, and consistent, focused action.

In my latest post, I will look at how you can meet like-minded people, why making friends as an adult is challenging, and how to start building your network.

Resilience starts with kindness to yourself. Before you can rise to challenges, you must acknowledge your needs, your wellbeing, and the support that sustains you. Strength grows from compassion. If you engage in any amount of caring for others in your daily life, you know the importance of caring for yourself, and the very real cost when you don’t.

November is one of the most reflective months for event professionals. People look back on what they’ve achieved, what they haven’t, and whether the role they’re in still excites them. Motivation is high, honesty is higher, and conversations about what comes next feel natural. Use this downtime whether spent planning or simply recharging to gain a strategic edge.
