While the best of intentions go in to our vision for a new year, having a positive, mindful and sustainable approach to your goals is the only way to make sure they stick.
Setting goals for the year ahead can be a daunting and intimidating task. Falling at the first hurdle or faltering to a fear of failure can hinder many from achieving their goals. In our latest blog, we have highlighted our favourite public speakers and authors who not only showcase how to meet your potential, but how to achieve them from a place of peace and stability.

It’s not enough to use SMART goal-setting or any other system.You must rewire the parts of your brain that are hardwired to think and feel a certain way about that goal. This often involves debunking decades of subconscious beliefs. With her guidance, your subconscious mind will thrive!

Elizabeth Day
Elizabeth Day is an author, podcaster, and journalist. Her message about failure, through her award-winning podcast ‘How To Fail’, is that failure is an opportunity to learn and grow, and that it doesn’t have to define us. She believes that failure is a natural part of life, and that it’s important to confront it and model lessons around it, rather than allowing it to define and stifle. In her talks, Elizabeth highlights failure’s role in fostering personal growth, resilience, and innovation in individuals and organisations. To use failure as an opportunity for valuable feedback and to overcome self-limiting beliefs, conversations must be built, with openness and vulnerability in mind.
