Respect all but fear no one.
You are a unique individual there is no one else like you, allow yourself to dream big and follow your dream.
You can do it.
What do you feed on?
What do you feed on ?
I've been unable to run for a couple of weeks due to a reoccurance of an old back injury, I'm like a caged animal, I'm desperate to get out, but I know I have to wait for the right time and keep my attitude positive.
What you feed on can determine your attitude - it can make you positive or negative.
An Eagle can soar, its a majestic bird , did you know it only eats live fresh food?, it will not eat road kill. On this food it feeds its mind, body and spirit so it leads a victorious life.
Be like the Eagle watch what you feed on, give yourself a chance to soar in your personal and business life, don't put poison in your spirt let go of your past disappointments and move forward to a better happier life.
You can do it. Follow your dreams

Time for reflection
Time out to reflect over Dublin City tonight on all that is good in my life.
Follow your dreams
Let’s first work on ourselves.
One day a person climbed up the mountain where a hermit was meditating.
He had taken refuge and was asked: - “What are you doing here alone in such a solitude place?”
To which she replied: - “I have lots of work !”
- “And how can you have so much work? I don't see anything around you here...?”
- “I have to train 2 hawks & 2 eagles, assure 2 rabbits, discipline 1 snake, motivate a donkey & tame a lion.....” -
“And, where have they gone that I don't see them?” -
“I have them all inside here within me...!!
✓ The hawks stare on everything that is presented to me, good or bad, I have to work on them to see only good things. They are my eyes.
✓ The 2 eagles with their claws hurt & destroy, I have to train them not to hurt. They are my hands.
✓ Rabbits want to go where they want, at the same time they do not want to face difficult situations, I have to teach them to be calm even if there is suffering or stumbling. They are my feet.
✓ The donkey is always tired, stubborn & does not want to carry the load each time I walk. That is my body!
✓ The most difficult to tame is the "snake." Although it is locked in a strong cage with 32 bars, it is always ready to sting, bite & poison anyone nearby. I have to discipline it... that's my tongue.
✓ I also have one Lion. Oh ... how proud, vain, he thinks that "he is the king." I have to tame him. And that's my ego.
So you see, my friend, I have lots of work..... “
Reflect : We all may have the same — Lots to work on ourselves ! So Stop Criticising, Evaluating n Judging others !
Let’s First work on ourselves !!
Good evening !!

So you have no bias?
So you say you have no bias? Eh!!
A father and a son are involved in a car crash and the man died at the scene. But when the child arrived at the hospital and was rushed to the operating theater the surgeon pulled away and said, "I can't operate on this boy, he's my son".
How can this be?
It's called the surgeons dilemna to demonstrate how unconscious bias works--and of course if you haven't got it by now, the surgeon is the boys mother..
Less than half the people who look at this fail to get it showing we all have bias but it's not always reflected in our behaviour.
Slow down take some time out to be in the present, be aware of your surroundings and follow your dreams.

Put your armour on!
Put your armour on and get your alibi ready.
Not everything goes right, not everything is perfect, as long as you do your best in everything that you do then you should not require your armour or an alibi. #mentalhealthintheworkplace

Yep I’m a Boomer
I'm a boomer yep born between 1946 and 1964, the first of this generation retired in 2012.
Early in my career in 1980 I had managers who were also boomers and managed with the style of "do as I say" and if you asked a question, you might be met with "why are you asking that of me?" "those are the rules, we didn't really question them or challenge them" . If you asked a colleague why they did what the did, they responded with "That's the way we always do it."
Boomers have gone through much change in many industries and have now been recognised as managers who welcome questions, and are willing to prepare people for succession and share their skills.
They have skills to communicate clearly and put younger generations in the workplace at ease and bring some of the human back into the workplace.
Boomers are necessary today in business because of those skills.
Politics in some industries today has managers paying more attention to managing up rather than out, there is ramifications for that beyond their team but also for the organisation as a whole.
As a leader (boomer or not) it is my job to develop teams and individuals that help them achieve their full potential and maybe do my job in the future.
Follow your dreams.

Thank you so much Simon for your kind words and recognition .
It's a great pleasure when one receives positive messages that reflect a past performance, especially as I enter my last quarter with the bank before I leave for a new career .
I've always believed the job of a leader is to help people in the team to believe in themselves and to see their true potential which is why I set up bjkennomotivation.com which has seen me support corporate wellness program's with my motivational talks and to also inspire invididuals to believe in themselves and reach their potential.
You certainly stepped up Simon in your time in UB, I enjoyed our time working together and be part of your success and I wish you every success in your future career.
Remember you can do it. bjkennomotivation.com
Align your values
In an era when the culture of a company is as much a public focus as profitability and share price, many workers seeking to change job/industry at this time look to understand the values of the company and how they align to their own values.
A fulfilling job true to the job description and the quality of wellbeing at work are now vital to employees and potential employees.
In my capacity as a motivational speaker supporting corporate wellness program's its clear that at this uncertain time more workers are taking more time to review their present career path. Most who really take the time can see the path has changed.
They can see that there are many new potential twists and turns that makes them pay attention to their gut or to put it another way, the fear of the unknown.
They want to understand the benefits of the change, to understand the positive life change their action can make and most importantly to understand how any decision they may make will have on their overall happiness in life.
Take the brave leap, its scary, but necessary to open new doors.

Stay safe
Everyone can make decisions right?
Everyone can make hard decisions right?
Even when we toss a coin we have an idea which side we would like it to land on.
I've got a decision to make.
It's been a busy week with different emotions.
I made my radio debut speaking about my work as a coach, a banker and a motivational speaker supporting corporate wellness program's.
I tweeked a disc in my back that's abruptly stopped my 5 mile a day runs in raising funds for the hospice during lockdown . As its a slight yet quite painful reoccurance of a larger 2016 issue , the hard medical question was asked if I could continue to do competitive running?
I've a decision to make when I can move normally and test my stride.
Like tossing the coin I know what side I want it to land on but it has to be for the long term benefit.
So I won't be anxious about tomorrow because tomorrow can be anxious for itself.
I've got two on line zoom motivational speaking talks coming up and I look forward to getting back to running for charity by end of May.
Follow your dreams and remember you can do it.
