“General Overview”
There are always so many things going on in the world. We always prioritise the things we have to know in order to perform at our best at work, during sport or in a personal lives. Over the last few years we took the effort to find out a little bit more about what else is going on around us in terms of world developments, politics, climate, science/technology, business, entertainment/arts and of course sports – the results were incredibly positive and we found:

Talk to others you have not spoken to before, have different conversations with colleagues/friends than usually, you’ll be amazed how quickly new information flows through your mind and contributes to your personal performance improving. The sooner you start this habit, the sooner you will see the results…
