Motivation is unreliable. It comes and goes without warning and cannot be trusted. If you’re miserable in your job you can’t rely on motivation to help you. Instead try this: Write down 3-5 words you want people to say about you. Can be anything at all. For example: kind, helpful, integrity, reliable etc. These words become your standards. So instead of relying on motivation which is circumstantial. Rely on your standards. They define who you are!

What are the corporate phrases that make you want to bang your head against the nearest conference-room wall? You know the ones that sound smart but mean absolutely nothing. The “let’s circle back”… The “thought partnership”… The “we need to align on expectations”… 🤢 Which ones really get under your skin or make you think: “WTF does that even mean?” Drop them below so we can all laugh, vent… and maybe decode them together.

I’m not the best career coach you’ll ever meet. I’m not the most polished. I don’t have a million followers or a book deal. And I’m definitely not the guy who’s going to tell you to quit your job, travel the world, and manifest success through journaling. But here’s what I am good at. I’m excellent at helping parents who feel stuck, lost, or burned out at work get focused again. Not with fluff. Not with theory. But with practical, real-world tools that actually fit around family life. I’m not world-class at marketing. But I’m damn good at cutting through the noise to help someone see the one thing that’s really holding them back. I’m not an expert in productivity hacks. But I am relentless about helping people build a plan that works on a Tuesday night after the kids finally go to bed. I’m not the kind of coach who promises 10X income or a dream life in 30 days. But I am the kind of coach who will help you move one step forward when you’ve been standing still for too long. You could say I’m a Jack of all trades, someone who knows just enough about HR, leadership, careers, mindset, and life with kids to see how it all fits together. Because career support isn't just about changing jobs. It's about energy, identity, confidence, family, and sometimes just remembering who the hell you are. So no, I’m not the best coach you’ll ever meet. But if you’re a parent trying to find your way back to purpose, progress, and pride in your work again I might be the one you actually need. The Career Accelerator will be increasing from $297 to $497 from November 3rd. So if you want the full package for $200 less then click here

Let’s be real and completely open here. Life is fucking hard at the moment. No one seems to like anyone. You can’t have an opinion without pissing someone off and then fearing what that will cause. AI is going to change the entire world and our careers and we have no idea what it will look like or if our careers are safe. Parenting is harder than ever. My 11 year old desperately wants her own phone and we’ve said no. All her friends have one and I have no idea if our decision is right. We got the train in England last week. Same train ride I used to do as a kid when I went to school. It was fucking silent. About 20 kids all sat on their phones and not talking. This makes me feel old but when I was that age we were loud as fuck on those trains. Having a laugh and probably being obnoxious pricks. But not now. AI is probably the most consequential invention or whatever since the internet. It’s going to revolutionize the world in both good and bad ways. Now we see companies laying people off left right and centre. We see billions being spent on AI and technology research and tools. And what does it mean for us as parents with careers? We are trying to raise kids in an age where technology addiction is the new porn addiction. Dopamine hit after dopamine hit fucking up their minds with unrealistic shit. Making them less human and less empathetic. Whilst we try and manage through that. On top of keeping our marriages and relationships alive. On top of keeping the roof on our heads and our income up. In spite of everything being way more expensive than any pay increases we may get. On top of uncertain careers where we have no clue what AI, the economy, the political landscapes and everything else has in store for us. This isn’t some woe is us bullshit and things used to be difficult for our parents and grandparents. I have no idea if it was and in many ways who cares. That doesn’t help the now. The now is us crying out for help but fearing judgement if we do it. The now is thinking everyone is living their best life with their fancy cars and huge houses and loads of vacations.
