A first networking event in years - a breakfast event at The Reform Club on Belfast's Royal Avenue in the company of business leaders, listening to journalist Simon Kuper talk about what business can learn from sport.
Simon has written books on Barcelona, taking a different approach to Damian Hughes but also writes extensively across other areas than sport. A journalist for the FT he brought a perspective to the topic that has me moderating my own view - that sports teams and business teams are very different my nature - there are clearly some areas of crossover.
A very worthwhile event and grateful for the invite as well as the opportunity to meet some very interesting people from different corners of the north. (thanks to Joanne at Clarendon and AAB and MLN.)

It hits everyone at some point along the sales journey - overthinking or self sabotage. Sales is hard enough due to market forces, economic turbulence and the competition without the added pressure of the inner critic giving you a kicking at the same time.
It can be a problem but it can also be tackled relatively easily and quickly - as long as you put some work into it.
Again the driver for success is about being able to focus on the process rather than the outcome - have a read of the Chimp Paradox if you can (or give Chat GPT a rattle and see if it can condense the work of Dr Steve Peters better than I can...its a great book to help you deal with the inner critic and self sabotage.)
