Paying It Forward in 2021

New Years Eve 2020 - Colgate Clock - Jersey City

The numerous universal examples of "Service Above Self" that I have seen throughout my life and especially in the last year have inspired me to continue to give back to others and pay it forward even more in 2021.

I have decided that one of my personal goals for 2021 is to make available free of charge, three 45-minute business mentoring/coaching sessions per week to individuals or businesses. I am happy to discuss whether this is on an individual, team or organizational level. So if you, or anyone you may know could benefit from 45 minutes of professional qualified mentoring/coaching, please share this email, book a 45 minute session via this link 

Why am I doing this? Well, just before midnight on the 31st December 2020 I went for a walk beside the Hudson River where I live, and I took this photograph of the World Trade Centre and Manhattan. I reflected on the beginning of 2020 when I sent an e-shot in which I mentioned how we were now living in a new decade which was being referred to as “The Roaring Twenties” all of which was terribly exciting, and after a challenging past decade for many of us, it was now our time to seize the day and plan carefully for the future, both in our business and personal lives.

I don’t need to tell you that 2020 hasn’t been easy for many of us but if there was one positive aspect of the world we have all seen over the last year it is that we have all in our own ways tried to help each other.  And I’ve learned over the years that when situations might appear at their worst, it will almost always bring out the best in people.  

In the last year, I provided pro-bono coaching sessions to the many individuals who needed help. Many persons found their businesses and personal lives in severe difficulties. Working with me has given people the opportunity to gain clarity both in the here and now as well as the future.    

Think about what you want to create not just in 2021 but beyond that in 2025, 2030 and beyond, not just for your professional and business world but your personal life. This is my work and my passion. Helping those to have a successful future. 

I wish you all the very best in 2021.
