The possibility to change stubborn behaviours

Do Lectures 2018

This work matters to me because, for much of my life, I’ve found the business of being human a bewildering one. 

I’ve learned - often the hard way - that lasting change rarely comes from grandiose plans or attempts to be superhuman. It is more often a result of awareness, realistic goals, breaking things down into manageable steps, and learning how to create progress that can be sustained over time. Less glamorous, maybe. But generally a lot more effective.

Little Challenges is grounded in this approach. It focuses on:

• identifying small, practical steps and clear next actions
• developing a mindset of experimentation rather than self-judgement
• building awareness of our own energy, motivation and context
• increasing capability and self-trust over time
• linking to relevant research and best practice

Over the years, I’ve seen how these principles can help us feel less stuck, less overwhelmed, and more able to navigate change - whether we’re dealing with personal difficulty, professional transition, or the ongoing complexity of everyday life.

If you’re curious about where this work came from, you might like to watch the talk above. There's recently been a significant update to the story, too. You can read about that here. Both of these offer more personal context.

Little Challenges brings together the ideas and practices that have made the most meaningful difference to me and the people I work with. Not as answers or fixes, but as things to try, return to, and build on over time. You’re welcome to get in touch, or join in with whatever is happening here, in whatever way suits you.
