By Michelle Mclean Have you ever flipped ahead to the final chapter of the book you’re reading, to find out what happens? Have you ever googled the outcome of the TV series you’re binging on? Yeah me too, so there’s no judgment here. Sometimes things are just so good we can’t wait patiently for…… Continue reading Go Slow

On Finding My Spiritual Self
By Michelle Mclean Crystals. Meditation. Vision Boards. Tarot. Yoga. Journaling. Prayer. Reiki. Breathwork. Fasting. Retreats. Law of attraction. You name it, I’ve probably tried it as part of my journey to become more spiritual. It’s cliched but I use the word journey deliberately. I went from one thing to another, in a constant state of…… Continue reading On Finding My Spiritual Self
Acceptance
This week’s blog centres on acceptance. Over the last few months, I have been really introspective. Examining who I am, what defines me, where am I going on this journey of life? To do this, I have had to hold the mirror up and examine what I see. Do I like what I see? Do…… Continue reading Acceptance
Winging It
By Michelle Mclean I’ve been mulling over some ideas for a new, personal project. My intuition feels really good about it, I’m excited in a way that I’ve not been for a while and I have an abundance of ideas. I have so many ideas in fact, that I am a bit overwhelmed and not…… Continue reading Winging It
Comfortable With The Uncomfortable
By Michelle Mclean I was recently asked to be part of an Instagram Live series called Women Who Write, a month-long celebration of World book Day and International Women’s Day.

I don’t accept that all change is hard. I think we often make it harder than it needs to be because of how we frame it and because of…… Continue reading Lessons I Have Learned About Change
Change is Inevitable
Early in my professional life, I was a Team Leader in an office environment. I was tasked with implementing some changes that would require people to work in new ways. One of these changes was to establish new teams and have people sat together in their team groups. This was in the days before hot-desking…… Continue reading Change is Inevitable
The Room Where it Happens
By Adrian Mclean Do you have a go-to tune that you play to psyche yourself up? I have a few, usually with heavy baselines and punchy lyrics that I can’t play when my children are in earshot! When I need to be strategic though, I play this one from the musical, Hamilton. Here’s the closing…… Continue reading The Room Where it Happens
Representation & Exposure
By Adrian Mclean You will have heard the phrase ‘You can’t be what you can’t see’. Those of us who are from any of the protected characteristic groups and those from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds, will be particularly familiar with it. Quite simply, it means that it’s difficult to aspire to something, for which you have…… Continue reading Representation & Exposure
