Finish this sentence without your job title: I am…
The one-page guide
The first 30 days, from a man who got it wrong first.
1
Say the true sentence to one person.
“I got made redundant and I’m rattled.” I rang my wife from the car park. She was steady. That was enough.

I had a negotiation plan before I got home. Then I went to Tesco. Solving was how I avoided feeling it.
3
Catch the act.
My 4:30 alarm was a performance for an audience of one. Ask who your routine is really for.
4
Pause before the next reply.
One breath before the email, the call, the message to your partner. That’s the whole practice.
5
Finish: “I am…” without the label.
If you can’t, that’s not failure. It’s the real question. Find your answer →
