What is it that attracts us to stories about people overcoming adversity? Humans are hardwired to love rags-to-riches and beating-the-odds stories. We connect with the main character, empathise with their plight, and rally for them to succeed. While drawing strength and inspiration to overcome our own personal struggles. When I've watched movies like The Shawshank Redemption, Hidden Figures or Unbroken, I think "If he/she can do that, then I can do this thing that's holding me back in my life". I'm preparing my talk for next month's Get Your Sh!t Sorted tour in Hamilton, Christchurch, Wellington, Auckland and Queenstown. And it seems the most effective way I can help others get their sh!t sorted, is to share my personal stories of overcoming adversity. I'm trawling my life experiences to find valuable lessons that will help you cope when it feels like the wind is blowing against you. If I can step up on stage to share them, can you get yourself a ticket at https://lnkd.in/gUnzABDT and come along to listen? #gyss2024

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐘𝐨𝐮 Of course, it will. One word that is capable of wreaking havoc in a man's life is procrastination. Procrastination yells at you to do tomorrow what you should do today. At the end of the day, it 😪keeps you lazy, 😪help steal your time, 😪reduce your productivity, 😪help you remain stagnant, 😪make you miss opportunities, 😪make you have a full excuse bag, 😪makes you angry at yourself always, 😪bring about delays in achieving goals. A new week just unfolded again, you have shifted that project enough, You have postponed the writing of that book enough, You have neglected that course and skill enough. It is time to go back and pick up from where you left off. How are you working today, with procrastination or an I CAN AND I WILL attitude? #welcomemonday #thoughtleader #tech4dev #womentechstersfellowship

Today's #MondaysWithMarla is a reminder to always be willing to learn. KEEP IN MIND: not all of life's lessons are learned from positive experiences! Sometimes, it's those negative experiences that teach us the most memorable lessons. #BeAStudentOfLife #LearningJourney #GrowingTogether

Reflecting on the UpHills of this Year As this year draws to a close, I find myself pondering the ups and downs life has graciously presented. Life, they say, is a beautiful journey, simple yet challenging, filled with moments that shape us. This year has been a testament to that saying. From overcoming challenges to celebrating victories, life has been a rollercoaster. Amidst the complexities, I've learned that simplicity is a treasure. In the chaos, simplicity offers solace, a reminder to find joy in the little things. Embracing the struggles, I've realized the strength that resides within. Life, with its twists and turns, has proven that resilience and determination pave the way for triumphs. Every uphill battle has been a stepping stone, guiding me towards growth and resilience. Gratitude becomes my guiding light. Grateful for the lessons learned, the friendships cherished, and the hurdles overcome. Through it all, there's a profound sense of gratitude for the simple joys that life bestows upon us. "Life is simple, and life is hard, but in all, we just keep on pushing for a better tomorrow." As we step into the holiday season, I wish you all a Merry Christmas filled with warmth and joy. May the upcoming year be a canvas of new opportunities, painted with the colors of blessings and growth. Let's enter the New Year with a #ProgrammersMind - curious, persistent, and always ready to debug life's challenges. Here's to a New Year of Blessings, a Sound Mind, and the unwavering spirit to keep pushing forward! #MerryChristmas #ProgrammersMind #NewYearOfBlessings #SoundMind #ReflectAndRejoice #NewBeginnings

Enthusiasm is contagious.

Today is a very significant day for young people - it's A-Level Results Day! It's a day of mixed emotions for many, one of excitement, or dread; one of looking to the future, or back at the journey to this point, and whether young people know what their next steps in life are or not, it can be scary either way, as a new chapter unfolds. So regardless of the grades, which as we know, don't mean everything, we wish to congratulate young people on their achievement! #ALevels #ALevelResultsDay #ResultsDay #CareersAdvice
