I am fed up with people telling me what they can't do, what we can't do and what our young people can't do. The scary thing about what we have achieved so far isn’t what we have achieved, but our potential to achieve so much more if only we can release the magic…

We need to switch people on who are currently stitched off. Colleagues who are switched off by a lack of interest, a lack of motivation, a lack of enthusiasm, a lack of energy and drive. Colleagues who are switched off by the fear factor and the blame culture which haunts us all. We need to help colleagues understand that we all have so much potential and so do our children and young people.

Our job as leaders, as managers, as coaches, as teachers, as parents, as people who care, is to help individuals set their goals, realise their enormous potential and understand that this is not as good as it gets! We have to sign up to the following courses:

• STEPS to being your BRILLIANT BEST;
• PATHWAYS to be simply GREAT at whatever you do;
• PATHWAYS to being BRILLIANT;
• STEPS on the way to being the BEST you can be.

By the way, I am on all these programmes!

The important thing is to…

• Set the goal;
• Keep it simple;
• Stay focussed;
• Invent the way;
• Build the future.
