My aim is that you can take or leave a lesson and adapt it to your own context. I share my experience and what has or hasn’t worked for me. When I first started writing again, it was tricky to get my tone of voice right.īut I’ve found that if I write to a few basic principles each time, the articles have a chance of fairly expressing what matters to me. Writing helps me with defining the flow and structure of story telling to extract transferrable insights while minimising waffle. It helps me improve as a speaker and coach.In these instances it feels like writing has helped me make sense and take ownership of what’s happened and how that will influence my choices moving forward. Some of my situations and stories have felt raw and painful to share.It forces me to clarify my thoughts, unpack situations and stories and crystallise lessons.Most of the time when I write, it feels like hard work. On reflection, a few themes have emerged about my process and what writing means to me. Now, 14 months and 23 articles later, there are days my writing flows and other days it’s excruciating, but it’s still valuable each time. It just felt like a story with some tough lessons that was too important not to share. I didn’t know at that point that I’d keep going. The Mirror Is The Hardest Place To Look was my first article in years. Image credit: I resigned from my business a year ago, I started writing again.
