Hold That Thought

This week I've been thinking about food. Here are three things on that theme to turn overthinking into expert thinking:

If you wouldn't buy what you're selling, why should anyone else? Eat Your Own Dog Food
Your business is a menu, and yours might be overstuffed. Simplify your offers…with cake! by Ricardo Brito
“Dinner resists optimization. It can be creative, and it can be pleasurable. None of this negates the fact that it is a grind.” Why Dinner Refuses to be Solved by Rachel Sugar in The Atlantic

This week's underthinking link is freesound – find any sound you like. Like this one!

Extra thoughts…

That link from The Atlantic reminded me of a favorite little food moment in film. It answers the question, “What do we do now? (about dinner, about everything else)”

This season's coaching taster is served!

Once every quarter, I offer low-to-no cost 30-minute coaching sessions. It's an opportunity for you to experience a new kind of conversation, with little risk or time commitment.

My summer pay-what-you-want sessions are open to the first four who grab a seat with me! Book in here or hit reply and we'll set up a time that works (best if you're miles outside the UK or not available next week).

This offer is for everybody, including my fellow coach friends (see first link above), and even those I'm currently coaching or have coached before. Because, like dinner, each time is different, even when it's not.

Try a coaching conversation

Until the next bite,
Kim
