Returning from serious sporting injury is similar to recruiting too apparently.

You forget how many thick people there are out there
I had to do a 3-hour training on a growth mindset earlier this year; for which the round trip travel time was about 5/6 hours.

I’m going to pass that piece on to some of my Ukrainian friends. It might just get them over the line on the Crimea.

The Lampardian transition makes its way onto LinkedIn…
“In all seriousness…”
This weekend I had the honour of celebrating one of my closest friends getting married - and it was truly magical.
Watching them take their vows was emotional, but it also got me thinking… wouldn’t it be great if we took commitments in recruitment as seriously as we do in marriage?
“I promise not to ghost you after final stage.”
“I vow to stay loyal even if LinkedIn tempts me with another role.”
“For better or worse… even through probation.”
In all seriousness, vows remind us what matters: commitment, trust, honesty, and showing up even when it’s tough.That’s as true for marriage as it is for careers and partnerships in recruitment.
This weekend was a beautiful reminder that when you really mean your promises , whether in life or work, the strongest relationships last.
Here’s to love, loyalty, and maybe a world with fewer counteroffers.

There was a bloke working with a previous company I was in and his title was “human experience strategist”.
You made that up surely
When I was 21 I landed in Australia with my required $3000 dollars in my account. After signing a lease on an apartment and getting a few of the basics, this buffer had reduced to just under $1000 dollars.
*Panicked, I began to look for work, with no form of transport other than bus and train and with a very poor knowledge of the Sydney landscape, off I went. *
*I began applying for roles and going to interview after interview. *
I would walk miles in 30 degree heat, in my shirt, trousers and uncomfortable yet fashionable shoes - eager to make a good first impression.
As the days, and then weeks passed, it got tougher and tougher (my feet at this stage torn apart from the cheap yet fashionable shoes)
Finally, I was offered a job, about time I thought, and just as my funds were dwindling towards 0.
What’s funny is, I still remember how my feet felt on those walks, but I also remember the joy I felt having secured a job, off my own back in a different country.
That feeling and experience still live inside me today.
So why am I telling you my story about Australia?
*Many of us have had incredible experiences, the good, the bad and the ugly. *
These experiences help us develop certain skills.
*However, in the moment, without reflection, we can fail to notice the skills we’ve acquired. *
*For anyone facing into a difficult challenge right now, where self doubt is bordering on debilitating, take a moment to remind yourself of the experiences you’ve encountered and the skills you’ve developed as a result. *
There are plenty there I’m sure, you just need to look.
The man got a fucking job in Australia once. #INSPIRATIONAL

6 Titles, One System: What Limerick Hurling Can Teach Your Sales Team
Limerick just won their 6th All-Ireland hurling title in eight years all under the guidance of John Kiely and his backroom team.
Its not just a talent story. Nobody has a conveyor belt producing the best individual hurler in Ireland every single year. What John Kiely and Paul Kinnerk. have built is a system — a standardised way of developing players, running training, and psychological preparation for the big days, that doesn’t collapse when a star player is injured, retires, or has an off day. Limerick have talented individuals no doubt, but its the ruthless adherence to their process under all sorts of pressures that wins out in the end, even when coming from behind.
Most sales teams are built the opposite way. One or two brilliant closers carry the numbers. Everyone else is improvising. And the moment one or both of them leave, the sales pipeline implodes.
The teams (and businesses) that win consistently — not just once, but year after year — aren’t necessarily the ones with the most individual talent. They’re the ones where the system is bigger than any one person in it.
What would happen to your Gillane, Hegarty, or Lynch left tomorrow? If the honest answer is “we’d struggle,” you don’t have a sales process. You have some very good salespeople and a lot of exposure. Talent + Process is the holy grail of any sport or business.
