It’s enthusiasm time again… let me know what you think!
1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
I’m currently reading the book, “The War on Normal People” by 2020 US Presidential candidate Andrew Yang. It’s probably the most important book I’ve read this year; a shocking picture of what our near-term, AI-driven future could very well look like. The game is about to change in ways we can scarcely imagine. I mention this, not to frighten anyone, but because it looks to me like it’s more important than ever that we embrace our true nature as creative, resilient and compassionate individuals and start getting ready for this!
“Normal people. Seventy percent of Americans consider themselves part of the middle class. Chances are, you do, too. Right now some of the smartest people in the country are trying to figure out how to replace you with an overseas worker, a cheaper version of you or, increasingly, a widget, software program or robot. There’s no malice in it. The market rewards business leaders for making things more efficient. Efficiency doesn’t love normal people. It loves getting things done in the most cost-effective way possible.”
2. Unstuck – the votes are in and tonight we’re getting motivated!
I ran a poll earlier in the week to select the hottest topics for a webinar mini-series all about making the move to work you love, whether that’s a career change or becoming your own boss.
The series started yesterday, and they’re around the topics you and the other members of my community chose (so if you voted – thank you!) The remaining two sessions are today (Thursday) and tomorrow (Friday) at 8pm UK time. The first one was last night, but everyone who jumps on now will get access to the recording of it; here’s a sneak preview:
Webinar 1 – Structure & Security – How to make a realistic transition plan for moving to fulfilling work (even when you don’t know exactly where you’re going).
Webinar 2 – Motivation & Momentum (tonight!) – How to get unstuck and on-track, moving forward and making progress (I’ll be doing some live coaching demos during tonight’s session!)
Webinar 3 – Indispensable & Irreplaceable (tomorrow) – How to position yourself as the ‘go to’ expert in your organisation, field or market.

3. This week’s glimpse of the future
As I mentioned, the quote I’m resonating with this week is from the book, “The War on Normal People” by 2020 US Presidential candidate Andrew Yang. I highly recommend this book (I’m listening to it on Audible). Check it out (you can find it on Amazon, Audible and everywhere else).
4. Confidence – I’m finally doing it, and I’m excited as hell!
For the first time in nearly a DECADE I’m creating a programme that’s focused wholly on PERSONAL transformation (I’ve been spending most of my time training OTHER coaches and therapists to help their clients). I’m looking for a small group of people to work with in a live environment, and here’s how you’ll know if you’re a good fit:
– You want to experience more peace, confidence and clarity in your life
– You’ve had enough of stress, striving and struggling
– You instinctively get that this could have a big impact on your relationships, health, career, wellbeing, and overall quality of life, and…
– You’d like the chance to work closely with me and make some big changes
If this is you, hit YES I’M INTERESTED to send me a quick email saying “Pagoda’ and we’ll send you the details.
5. This week’s 3 minute miracle
Back in the early 80s, my brother Andrew and I went to one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to in my life. The band was the Talking Heads, and they were doing their Stop Making Sense tour. The show started when David Byrne walked onto an empty stage with a ghetto blaster and an acoustic guitar. He put down the stereo, said “I’ve got a tape I want to play you” and pressed play. What happened was this; Psycho Killer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTezUIuJHTw
That’s it for this week!
