Seasons Greetings from Matt at Jumpstone!

I have been running Jumpstone for almost 10 years now, and I am genuinely living my true north as a leadership coach, but it’s only possible because of you!

Therefore, I want to sincerely thank you all for an amazing year of committed engagement. Together you’ve made real progress, gained valuable insights and evolved your leadership. Here’s to 2024 and the exciting developments ahead with innovative new workshops, new coaching programmes and Jumpstone’s very own new App!

Two key observations from 2023 I would like to share:

Don’t be pushed by your problems, be led by your dreams!

It’s been a true rollercoaster of a year with highs and lows and unexpected turns in between, but the biggest outcome for me this year is holding true to my vision and being proactive in what I could do to support it. I could so easily have spiralled into despair at times, wondering how on earth to navigate setbacks, but I employed the tenet of ‘cause and effect’ and proactively worked on what I could do to create opportunity and learned to let go of the fear and unknown. The result has been an amazing end to the year with exciting new ventures and prospects for 2024. Ask yourself from the quote: ‘which one are you focusing on?

Top Tip: Looking for greater success in 2024?

Pay yourself in time! There is a well-known adage in finance that we should pay ourselves first at the beginning of the month so you ensure contributions to savings, pension, rainy day etc are taken care of before our costs for the rest of the month. The same could be said of time.

I often share with my clients that top sportsmen and Olympians are masters of balancing time. They know how to balance the need to train, rest, learn, develop their mindset, eat well, manage their emotions, and crucially – sleep! For some reason, the world of work believes a constant foot on the accelerator will bring success, but any top performing engine needs a pit stop too.

So, I urge you all to take a step back and pay yourself in time for whatever you want to achieve in 2024 and stay committed month-by-month and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the outcome at the end of 2024.

No, this isn’t Jumpstone’s mail, but I aspire to hear from as many of you as possible. Why? I’ve been running the monthly skimmer for a few months now, and I’m interested in hearing your views and feedback. What would you like to see more of in 2024? Videos, more coaching models, case studies…

How can I provide you with the most thought-provoking content that will aid you in your leadership journey? Let me know.

Lastly, if you’re searching for a last-minute Christmas stocking idea, then check out my book Inner Compass – available on Amazon. Just imagine, you could be the catalyst to helping a loved one or a friend find their true north in 2024!

Looking forward to what the new year brings.
