Great day supporting an even greater girl! Explore the link below to learn more about Gracyn's story and discover the details of this event.

When Sal and June came to us, they wanted to go into retirement, but were worried if they would have enough to live off while supporting their children and the charitable causes important to them. We helped them design a transition into retirement that addressed their major concerns and showed them that they had enough to start checking off items that were on their bucket list. https://buff.ly/3XO2FO5 #FinancialPlanning #PlannedGiving #LegacyPlanning

🏔️ Just completed the National 3 Peaks Challenge, and let's just say my legs are auditioning for the next "Toy Story" movie – because they feel like Woody's legs: stiff and unyielding! I've been walking down stairs backwards for days, but it was all worth it. We raised over £20,000 for FORCE Cancer Charity! 🎉 Here are a few business lessons I learned from this adventure: 🏔️ Persistence Pays Off: Whether you're climbing mountains or aiming for an inbox zero, perseverance is key. Even when every step feels like it might be your last (thanks Ben Nevis). 🏔️ Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Just like in business, tackling Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon is a lot easier with a strong team. Shoutout to Don Armand who literally and figuratively had my back. 🏔️ Prepare for the Unexpected: In both business and mountains, things rarely go as planned. Adaptability is your best friend – as is a good pair of hiking boots! 🏔️ Celebrate the Wins: Whether it's reaching a summit or closing a big deal, take a moment to enjoy the success... and maybe a few days off to recover. Next challenge: conquering the stairs at home without looking like I'm auditioning for a role in a zombie movie. 🧟♂️ #BusinessLessons #3PeaksChallenge #Teamwork #Perseverance #Charity #FeelingStiff

When the terrain is tough, you just have to put one foot in front of the other … I’ll be embarking on a BIG personal challenge at the end of this month. 🚶♀️I decided to walk the 107.4 miles of Yorkshire’s Cleveland Way – by myself in just 5 days. 🚶♀️ I have to walk over 20 miles a day if I’m to get to my booked accommodation each evening. I’ve never (ever) walked 20 miles a day for 5 consecutive days. So I’m in training, to strengthen my legs and my resilience to give myself the best chance of achieving my goal. 💪 I went out yesterday to walk 22 miles. It was TOUGH! Storm Kathleen was doing her stuff over the Moors, and I found myself walking headlong into the wind. It made climbing the steep hills with uneven surfaces not so fun, not to mention the mud to plough through (with a sniffly nose), and that was even before the rain finally came … ☹ I found myself struggling with the weather conditions for a while, just trudging along one foot in front of the other to get the job done. Since the job had to be done in any case, I began to wonder – just as I would ask a client undertaking an arduous task – how could I make the experience more bearable and fun. Every now and again, I made sure to turn around, see how far I’d come and enjoy the magnificent landscape. 😊 Even (especially) when the going is tough, I think it’s so important to do that: celebrate progress, take a deep breath, smile – find something to enjoy (however small!). Keep going! 👍 And, yes, I'm using the opportunity of the 5 day challenge to raise money for a great cause: to Macmillan Cancer Support who provide such great help when the going is tough for people living with cancer. If you’d like to support my efforts, the fundraising link is at https://bit.ly/3TZRymH 🙏 #personalchallenge #resilience #keepgoing
