Read Claudia D. Thompson's latest BRAINZ article here: Why you don't need fixing - you just need a strategy!

As a small business owner (especially one with a team), it’s so easy to feel inadequate at times. To wonder “Who am I to do this?” or its slightly nastier cousin “I am not good enough.” Being responsible...

Behind every thriving business with a high-performing team is a leader who’s willing to ask: “What am I not seeing?”

That question is exactly what inspired the creation of the BOSS Method© - a practical, proven approach designed to help small business owners gain clarity, step into confident leadership and finally feel in control.

After working with small business owners, we’ve found that most leadership challenges come back to one of four key zones.

When you know which one needs your attention, you can do something about it.

👀 Curious which zone might be your blind spot?

Stay tuned because starting next week, you’ll be able to find out for yourself.

🏭 Almost half (47%) of 16–21-year-olds would prefer a world without the internet.

Let that sink in. In a world where everything is online – from work to friendships to entertainment – the next generation is quietly craving less of it.

And I get it. You go to a café to meet friends… phones are on the table like extra cutlery. You glance around – two people sitting together, both scrolling silently.

In the office? Phones ping during office hours. They come along to meetings. They pull focus when focus is already in short supply.

We’ve normalised this constant distraction. And it’s not making us better colleagues, leaders or humans.

Would you ever consider a no-phone policy at work? Maybe not forever.

But what about:
– No phones in meetings?
– Focus hours without pings and notifications?
– Team lunches where everyone actually talks?

Curious what others are seeing in their workplaces. Is it time we take the lead from Gen Z on this one?

I would love to hear your thoughts. Would you support a no-mobile policy in your office?

Writing a book is hard. And doing it without the right support is even harder.

I’m so grateful to have had the incredible Karen Williams, The Book Mentor - Librotas by my side while writing 'Take Charge'. She’s not just a book mentor. She’s a walking library of wisdom when it comes to writing business books that actually work.

She recently asked me to write a guest article for her blog and I happily said yes. In it, I reflect on what writing Take Charge taught me, not just about leadership, but about myself.

You can read it here: https://buff.ly/s8RafTD

And if you’re even remotely thinking about writing a business book, do yourself a favour:
✅ Get on her newsletter list
✅ Book a free consult
✅ Soak up everything she shares

I couldn’t recommend her more.

Writing a book is never just about writing it - in this guest blog post, Claudia D Thompson talks about her book writing journey.
