Understand your inner fire
The Scout Leader in me knows that you can’t start a fire or keep it burning if you don’t understand the ‘fire triangle’ – you need a constant supply of fuel, heat and oxygen or the whole thing will just wither away.
The same applies to our lives and our careers.
FUEL
These are the raw materials you bring to your life – your skills, experiences, values and passions, and how you stack them effectively in your personal fire pit.
HEAT
This is what warms up those raw materials to give you a shot at making the most of them – your motivation and drive, goals you believe in, and a belief in your ability to succeed.
OXYGEN
The context that surrounds everything else and allows your fire to flourish – clear opportunities, a plan of attack, a route that’ll get you there, and a support network you can rely on.
As we go through life we all see our supplies of at least one of these dwindle at times – occasionally they’ll all run out and we’ll struggle to even keep the pilot light alive.
A burnout, if you will.
Sometimes it’s OK to let the flames die down a little and take a break. And sometimes we need to pour on the lighter fuel and show off the glory of our roaring inferno!
BUT if we want sustainable success (the perfectly toasted marshmallow, let’s say) then the sweet spot is somewhere in the middle.
That marshmallow won’t toast to perfection (bubbly and crispy on the outside, still gooey in the middle, thanks for asking) if you only hold it over a couple of bits of smoking tinder or shove it directly into the foot-high flames.
What you’re looking for are those perfect glowing embers in the heart of a well managed fire – not too small and not too big and showy.
The goldilocks of fire management is where your life’s best marshmallows lie.
Coaching packages
I understand that everyone’s fire needs a little help at times, and that it can be tough to work out why your previous blaze is now a little lacklustre.
That’s why I’ve created a variety of coaching packages to support you wherever you are in your quest for the perfect marshmallow.
