				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There were a few sunny days in May – although if you blinked you might have missed them.  Sunny days are great for renewing energy and inspiring us to do a bit de-cluttering.  If you’re interested, I have a quick exercise that can help you focus on clearing your mind and focus on the next 90 days.  <a href="mailto:daphne@cliftonconsulting.com?subject=May%20de-cluttering%20exercise" target="_self">Email me</a> and I would be pleased to send it to you.</p>
<p><strong>A big win for charity!</strong><br />
I’ve recently completed my first Half Marathon in Plymouth.  I stuck to the plan, trusted the training and finished in 2 hours 16 minutes.</p>
<p>Thank you to all my associates and friends for helping raise over £1600 for <a href="http://cliftonconsulting.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1078537c7cf332ede77f52746&amp;id=b6b2cf9545&amp;e=48fd86fc66" target="_self">CLIC Sargent</a>, a children’s cancer charity and £1000 for <a href="http://cliftonconsulting.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1078537c7cf332ede77f52746&amp;id=5021f7d19c&amp;e=48fd86fc66" target="_self">Greenwich Youth for Christ</a>!</p>
<p><strong>Send in your big win!</strong><br />
The Big Win Contest is back.  Send in a big win you’ve recently had and you’ll be entered in a draw to win a trip up the Shard with me.  There will be 3 lucky winners. To enter, simply <a href="mailto:daphne@cliftonconsulting.com?subject=Big%20Win%20Competition" target="_self">email your big win to Daphne</a> by 31 May.</p>
<p><strong>Tips to refresh</strong><br />
A change of pace can improve your productivity.  Give yourself 10 minutes doing something different and you may find the task you have been struggling with that bit easier:</p>
<ul>
<li>organise your desk to give you space to think</li>
<li>give your eyes a break from the monitor – make a call or file those papers</li>
<li>review and update your contacts</li>
<li>take a walk outside for 10 minutes</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>A coaching snapshot</strong><br />
<strong>The client:  </strong><br />
A start up business owner who lacked confidence to attack the business.<br />
<strong>Issue:</strong><br />
It is easy to get wrapped up in the day to day detail of running a business rather than focusing on your product and clients.  Getting out there takes personal confidence and resilience.<br />
<strong>Outcome:</strong><br />
After a short series of coaching sessions over 3 months, the client had the confidence to build her business by prioritising her time on the business, rather than in the business.</p>
