A bit groggy again this morning, quick coffee and then onto the team call briefly before a 9.15am training session on coaching with Jane who is also my mentor and she's great!
We talked about setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time limited) goals. Then we talked about GROW coaching model where you identifiy the goal the coachee wants to set themselves, discover the current reality, discuss options and then come up with a way forward. It was a really useful session and left me feeling motivated.
I then had a few calls and went and did Pilates at 12pm which was a very sweaty and warm affair. 2 things arrived for me whilst I was doing the class, my copy of The Midnight Library by Matt Haig that I ordered when I booked onto the Guardian Live event this evening which was an interview and Q&A with him and also my Arena Flowers subscription which this week are lots of pink lisianthus alissa.
I dashed back upstairs to deal with some calls whilst I put some potato waffles and sausages in the oven to cook and arranged my flowers into vases.
The afternoon was a mix of meetings and admin, I hopefully will get more time for proactive calling tomorrow. We had a good meeting with a client, although I think we'll need to dig a little deeper for candidates in terms of what they are looking for.
I finished up around 6.30pm and had to rush to cook dinner whilst listening to the Archers and I made Hello Fresh tacos with aubergine, beans and feta. My Guardian Live event started as I finished up tea and they asked the question that I had emailed in when I booked on about what advice Matt Haig might have given to himself 20 years ago. I love listening to him talk and wish that it was a bit longer than an hour.
I let my food go down a bit and then went out for a run, I'd not got many particular goals for this run, but I was going quite fast and my garmin gave me a +7 improvement on my fitness. I managed to get my fastest 5K time for a while of 24.43 and ran 6K at a pace of 8.05 per mile.
I got in and watered the plants and then had a bath and wasted a lot of time in the bath.
Alan has been busy doing his exam and is likely to be up until 4am finishing it. Some men came to fix the oil stain on the drive, it was noisy for hours and looks no different.
Qubit managed to get 2 dinners by meowing loudly at both me and Alan.
I completed my Tania Hershman challenge last night by writing it all down by hand. Will do some more this evening and then I need to definitely try and get back to the novel writing if I can.
