Episode 53 - What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger

Sometimes life seems to come at you all at once, but as Shaa shared in this week's episode, we can learn from the good and the bad. are no such things as failure. What  doesn't kill you can only make you stronger. KEY TAKEAWAYS Even when times get tough, there are always moments of joy, beauty and opportunities for gratitude. We need to find those diamonds and keep focused on them, not just the challenging times. We should never make assumptions about other people. Lives lived behind closed doors might not be as rosy as you believe. Surrounding ourselves with strong, positive people empowers us when times get tough. When people fall, the quickest way to get up is by taking the hand of another.  BEST MOMENTS ‘Press pause, take a step back and truly show up for them’ ‘There are moments. There are people.

Shaa is the original misfit, maverick and magic maker.  Despite an Economics degree from The London School of Economics and a proud recipient of an MBE from The Queen, her real talents come from the school of hard knocks. Growing up on a council estate, Shaa learnt early on, that the only way to level the playing field was to first believe you could. Then go all in on making it happen.  Shaa’s first book, "Stop Talking Start Doing" became WHSmith's #1 Bestselling Business Book for 14 months in a row, breaking all industry records.  Shaa has never been one to sit on the fence or rest on her laurels and today her sole mission is to level the playing field and create real social mobility for all. The Sunday Times recently named her as “One of the top 20 most influential entrepreneurs in the UK”.
