Tips for managing the fatigue caused by daylight saving time change: -Seek out daylight -Be sure to exercise -Get enough sleep -Try waking up sooner

I think this is such a bonkers idea on so many levels 1. It shows us up as weak - we achieve something as a country and we all get on the p*ss and can't be bothered working - what happened to 'what's next' - it's not how winners behave, celebrate yes but train the next day... 2. The pubs will be full anyway, regardless of the next day 3. Not everyone likes football 4. We didn't have (and I don't remember loads of calls for) a bank holiday for the women winning the euros 5. As above for the Cricketers winning the world cup 6. What about other sports or major achievements - we very often punch above our weight in the Olympics - say we finish 3rd in the medals table (which would be a far bigger achievement) do we have another random day off 7. It's too hard to implement at too short notice and won't be a bank holiday for the vast majority 8. What about everyone with a hospital / doctors / dentist etc appointment on Monday - they get cancelled because those workers absolutely should be treated to the treat - retail AND hospitality won't be able to rejig rosters and will have to foot the bill for 'bank holiday' pay 9. Let's not even mention the direct correlation to 'on the p*ss' and the rise in domestic violence Bonkers!

The output is only as good as how you prepare, set up, practice, collaborate and consider all the details. Performance, in anything, largely depends on creating the most optimal environment and conditions for success. In all the years of working is design and helping to build resonating, impactful brands, I have always shared with my teams the incredible importance of pre-production. Taking care of all the details, setting everything up for the most effective, beautiful and engaging output. This too applies to setting ourselves up for our best performance and, while, as it relates to apparel, this has largely been focused on performance wear for athletes and those engaging in an active lifestyle where performance of the apparel is key (gear for extreme weather, gear that allows full movement, gear that allows breathability, moisture-wicking, non-chafing etc), it has not (largely) translated into performance wear for your best, most supported and considered performance as a teacher, a lawyer, a CEO, a business leader, a TV presenter, particularly as a women. The clothes that women wear for all of these roles and so, so many more, need to be as carefully and thoughtfully designed as the performance wear for a runner, a climber, a dancer - because, setting up for success, the pre-production, of getting dressed each day, should be that thoughtful, that easy and that considered. For the best, strongest and most successful performance possible. behind the desk, at the boardroom table, in the courtroom and in the TV station.

🎆🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July and Happy UK General Election Day! 🇬🇧 Today, as we celebrate the birth of our nation and the freedoms we cherish, and as our friends in the UK exercise their democratic rights, let's reflect on the significance of freedom and the ongoing fight against human trafficking. Human trafficking is a modern-day form of slavery, exploiting vulnerable individuals through force, fraud, or coercion. It's a stark reminder that the fight for freedom is ongoing. Whether in the US, the UK, or anywhere in the world, freedom and democracy must be protected and extended to all. This 4th of July and UK General Election Day, let’s honor the spirit of independence and democracy by committing to actions that help end human trafficking: 🔹 Educate ourselves and others about the signs of trafficking. 🔹 Support organizations working tirelessly to rescue and rehabilitate victims. 🔹 Advocate for stronger laws and policies to combat trafficking. Freedom is not just a right—it's a responsibility. Let's use our voices and resources to ensure that everyone can experience the liberty and justice that define our nations. Happy Independence Day and Election Day! Let's work together to make freedom a reality for all. 🎇🗽🗳️ #IndependenceDay #FourthOfJuly #ElectionDay #FreedomForAll #EndHumanTrafficking #LibertyAndJustice #Democracy
