โฃ
And Iโve brought a bit of reading with me.โฃ
โฃ
This one is particularly special.โฃ
โฃ
The Change Engineer was written by Garry Sanderson, one of our former Nxtep clients and a member of our slightly infamous 7am crew. ๐โฃ
โฃ
Garry has had an incredible career spanning engineering, global executive leadership and behavioural science, and has now taken a huge amount of that experience and put it into a book about leadership, collaboration, performance and creating environments where people can thrive.โฃ
โฃ
Definitely plenty in there for me to learn from.โฃ
โฃ
But before Iโd even properly started reading, I came across something that genuinely made me smile.โฃ

In the acknowledgements Garry wrote:โฃ

โฃ
That means a lot.โฃ
โฃ
Because itโs pretty much exactly what weโve been talking about at Nxtep recently.โฃ
โฃ
The work we do in the gym isnโt supposed to end when you walk back through the door.โฃ
โฃ
The strength, energy, confidence and resilience you build should help you perform better in everything else that matters to you.โฃ
โฃ
Your career.โฃ
โฃ
Your business.โฃ
โฃ
Your family.โฃ
โฃ
Your life.โฃ
โฃ
And I love that the learning works both ways.โฃ
โฃ
Iโve been fortunate enough to coach some incredibly successful and knowledgeable people over the years. I might be the coach inside the gym, but Iโve learnt an enormous amount from the people whoโve walked through our doors too.โฃ
โฃ
So this week Iโm going to switch off, train when I fancy it, eat some good foodโฆ and hopefully come home with a few new ideas as well. ๐โฃ
โฃ
Congratulations Garry. Writing and publishing your own book is an incredible achievement, and thank you for giving Nxtep and the 7am gang a little place in it. โค๏ธโฃ
