It's that time of year when many of us in business are dusting off the strategies and firming up the plans (remember what it was like to have plans which worked? Aaaah, those heady pre-Covid days).

And of course, the internet is stuffed with people claiming they have just what we need to make any business a roaring success. Yeah right!

It was 3am, and I just wanted it to end. Help was within reach, but this time, I was making it on my own. I was 7 years old, and scared stiff of the thunder which was rolling relentlessly.

Every other storm had seen me head to my parents’ room for comfort. But I was big now, and it was time to go solo. It was hell – an all-out battle of will to stay put. Telling myself over and over that it’s just noise. But that visceral fear refused the voice of reason.

I played through over and over, how proud I (and they) would be in the morning. Yet each time it seemed to have stopped, another crash put me straight back into fight-flight.

I was so tense that when it was finally over and I tried to turn in my bed, I couldn’t even move. My muscles wouldn’t work. But I’d done it. And all these years later, I remember it well

The next morning I trotted happily downstairs, for the inevitable praise for my bravery. Nothing.

It turned out that Mum had come in to check on me, and because I was so still, assumed I was sleeping. Talk about an anti-climax!

But it’s a night that the Summer thunder season always reminds me of. A right of passage into the grown up world. A triumph that still makes me smile.

Did you have a fear that you’ve conquered?

Are you a skilled thinker? You probably do a lot of it – about 50,000 thoughts a day. How did they count that?! For many of us, that thinking mostly runs all by itself (and sometimes runs away with us). But does something we do so much of, have to be left to chance?

If someone in your organisation’s really good at something, you’d want to work out what they’re doing and teach it to other people, so they get good too. And that doesn’t have to be just for skills like getting the job done, or the IT to behave.

What if you could learn from people who are fantastic at dealing with high stress or challenges, or who’ve got over a big obstacle that you’re still stuck on? That’s how the skills I work with were originally developed. By finding those people and working out how they did it. So that we can all learn too.

We don’t often associate ‘skills’ with how we think. It’s often seen as less tangible, more hard-wired. We all have the skills to take some things in our stride – the obnoxious individual you can deal with calmly. The worrying situations that you’re able to ignore without them keeping you up at night. Skills we all have to degrees, and with the right guidance, that we can all improve.

Have you got a thinking skill that you’re proud of?
