    Your 2025 Audit

    If your New Year’s resolutions are already starting to feel like a burden, Stephen and Oliver have a better idea:  Stop making them. In this episode of the Stephen and Oliver Show, we discuss why any month is the right month to ditch failing New Year’s resolutions and instead perform a deliberate "audit" of the previous year.  By reflecting on 2025, in this conversation, we aim to help you clear out the mental "rubbish" and enter 2026 with clarity and actionable goals. Hear about the strategy of small wins and some of our frameworks for reflection, including an easy photo audit, diary deep dives, and the power of start, stop, and continue. You'll also hear about Oliver's 20 notebook system and how reflecting on those who influenced you last year can give you a "lift" towards similar connections this year. https://www.hillcoachingcompany.co.uk/the-sos-show

    [Replay] Expectations

    Have you ever expected something from somebody else? Have other people expected things of you? Looking back, how did that go for you and them?  Has anyone ever not met your expectations?  Have you ever failed to live up to somebody else's expectations? How did this feel? Stephen really enjoyed setting Oliver up for this one. “Expectations are toxic,” says Oliver. In fact, he believes, expectations are possibly some of the most damaging things you can have of people. Stephen and Oliver get their teeth into this and present the best ways for moving from expectations to…  https://www.hillcoachingcompany.co.uk/the-sos-show

    [Replay] Values

    There’s a lot of talk about values. Company values. Family values. Your own personal values.  However, how many of us could tell someone else what those values were and without hesitation? It’s something that really gets Stephen very frustrated and Oliver is quite happy to get him going.  Let us know what you think. https://www.hillcoachingcompany.co.uk/the-sos-show

    Move

    Today, Stephen and Oliver discuss the benefits of being flexible and moving from "a safe position". Often, in life and work, we are stationary; we stand still and do not work towards the things we want. We find ourselves distracted by our smartphones and less focused on the important things in life. What's stopping you from doing the things you want to do now? What brings you enjoyment? Let's get up and let's start moving. To learn more: https://www.hillcoachingcompany.co.uk/the-sos-show

    Just Jump (don’t worry about the landing)

    Today, Stephen and Oliver discuss overcoming procrastination and the fear of failure by encouraging you to "just jump" into action rather than overthinking the outcomes. This doesn't mean being irresponsible! As you'll hear, they stress the importance of preparation, realistic risk assessment, and adaptability, using sports analogies to highlight growth through practice. Confidence, support from mentors, and learning from mistakes are key themes in today's episode, hopefully inspiring you to avoid regret by taking calculated risks, starting now, and simply adjusting along the way. Remember, progress comes from taking action, not striving for perfection. To learn more: https://www.hillcoachingcompany.co.uk/the-sos-show
