| Raising your game is always worthwhile. When was the last time you put your heart and soul into a different approach? Taking risks, opening up to new experiences and keeping you ear to the ground always pays off in the long run. You don't have to be razor sharp to realise that a little risk can open up a whole new world of opportunity. After all, no-one ever achieved anything hiding under the duvet. |

| We all creak from time to time. It's normal. After all, if we felt great all the time, we would soon take it for granted. But there is another form of creaking, which is less about how we feel and more about how prepared we are for the future. If you want a squeaky clean future that positively zings with possibilities, you need to look after your SQUEAK, and if you are in business, you need to look after your business SQUEAK too. The key to continued success is a sound success-ion plan. |

| Statistics may not be your idea of fun, but it is always worth experimenting with more than one approach to any situation. If you are not sure what to do and find yourself sitting on the fence, just remember that scientists spend their lives not knowing whether what they are doing will produce the desired result, or even any meaningful result at all. So when was the last time you conducted and experiment? |

| Chipping away at a problem may not always be the best way to solve it. Sometimes you have to concede you have had your chips. You may wish you had gone somewhere with a better customer service ethos....or any customer service ethos. But if you want to stay chipper, you need to focus on the future instead of chipping away at the past. |

| What is speeding through your brain? Is your mind akin to the Bluebell Railway, or more like the Flying Scotsman? In an age when humanity seems determined to speed up time itself, it has become increasingly difficult for some people to get off the train at the right platform, or even to get off at all. This week we explore the railway network of your mind and the joys of a bygone age, perhaps pressaging a renaissance of the great days of steam. read on....The HBT Newsletter is never quite what it seems to be! |

| Just how much are you investing in your arboretum? More often than not, trees fail to reach their potential height because of poor soil, limited sunlight, bad drainage and infestation. Perhaps your trees are overshadowed by others in neighbouring gardens, or simply neglected, hemmed in and left to rot. After all, there isn't much scope in the average garden to cultivate a tree to it's full height. Of course they are only trees. But has it ever occurred to you that it is not only trees that are stunted by negative beliefs about the possibility of growth. This issue explores just how high you are willing climb. Bring your oxygen mask and leave the loppers in the shed! |

| Making mistakes is human. In fact, the avoidance of making mistakes is one sure fire way to become inhuman (or dead). But why do we go on and on making the same mistakes? in this newsletter we explore the difference between skills, knowledge and attitudes and attempt to explain why will-power will not work and what to do instead. |

| Things may come and things may go, but the brownie pantomime goes on forever. And forever. And.....and yet, it's all with the best of intentions. Knowing when to stop is as important as taking action. You may be a tenacious entrepreneur or a career-oriented executive, and admirable though that 'head-down and charge' attitude is, do remember every now and then to look up and see how your audience is responding. When you get so involved, so committed, so utterly convinced of the rightness of your path, that's usually the time to look in the mirror, check the vehicle, and ask the audience! They might just be about to get on a different bus. |

| Things are rarely what they seem. Time can become distorted. Our memories become unreliable. And the way we handle our commitments doesn't always pass the efficiency test. But to err is to be human and keeping our errors in perspective is both a commitment and a necessary constraint if we are to flourish. Total commitment to certainties and correctness might seem efficient and desirable, but without the capacity to laugh at our frailties and forgive our ineptitude, we risk constriction and premature demise. Adults especially, take heed. Children, on average, laugh 250 times a day, but adults, on average laugh only one tenth this amount. |

| People often talk about the 'reality' of their business, career, and life as though it is a fixed concept.Certainly there are tangible, physical realities and it generally helps to keep one foot firmly on the ground in any situation. But when people say things like, 'the reality is, my business/job/life sucks', then my first instinct is to wonder whether this necessarily has to be true, whatever the physical circumstances might be. This is your chance to play around with your 'reality'. Using the principles of Einstein's theory of relativity, you can construct your own worm hole into your own personal universe; one in which you can shape your own 'destiny' and subsequently have a profound effect back here in the 'shared reality' we all have to deal with on a day to day basis. |
