Are you in the right room?

The rooms and spaces we place ourselves in can determine the quality of the thoughts, actions and decisions we make.

And the people inside those rooms and spaces will determine that too.

We are the sum of the 5 people we spend the most time with.

Are the people and spaces you are spending time in and with helping or hindering you?

Challenging you to reach for a different perspective?

Inspiring you to think beyond the norm?

That’s what I got this weekend in West Wales.

A different perspective. With a different group of people who I'd not really met before.

When you get out of the room of normality and step to the edge of the map, interesting things can happen.

Our nervous system regulates. Our brains can take a break. Our bodies can breathe.

And the possibilities, ideas and creativity can start flowing.

So just for last weekend, I stepped away and truly unplugged.

Jumped in the sea, walked in the rain, swam with a seal.

And I can see more clearly than ever before as a result.

The thinking that got us to where we are today, won’t get us to where we want to go.

Stepping off, just for a little while, can give us that perspective and fuels a spark to light up the next step of the journey.

I hope you find some space to step off this weekend, just for a while.
