How to Keep Going When Things Get Tough

Every leader faces hard times. The secret to getting through them? Rituals and stories.

The Teaching Ritual:
Every Friday, after a Thursday coaching session, teach what you just learned. Why? Because when you teach something, you truly understand it. It forces clarity and shows you what you actually know versus what you just think you know.

The Power of Your Stories:

• Stories from hard times (like surviving COVID or a partnership split) become proof that you can handle difficulty
• When things get tough, your stories remind you: I have been through worse and made it
• Build these stories intentionally - recognise hard moments as future tools for resilience

One final reminder: Your vision does not need to be perfect. Keep tinkering, keep improving, and trust the process. Small consistent steps beat waiting for a perfect plan every single time.
