Synergy - When It All Falls Into Place

When things start falling into place so that each 'thing' supports every other thing in some way, or when you start to notice a common theme in the disparate things you're involved with, when things (and people) start to come together, that's synergy.

You can't really force synergy. Yes, you can look for 'congruence' in what you do, but that's really about consciously cutting your workload by being consistent and repurposing what you do to get the maximum mileage out of it.

Synergy seems to happen more by accident. Or at least, we don't consciously seek it out - but then, the brain is a mysterious thing.

So when you look at your client list, friends list or your interests, can you spot a theme? Interests can be wide-ranging at first glance and yet somehow...

With our client list and ongoing projects we're starting to notice a definite theme. Mainly, it's people and science. Particularly the science of people, from diet to behaviour (more closely linked than we usually realise), taking in motivation, self-esteem, goals and ambitions, 'mentality' and psychiatric and physical health.

And all these subjects involve equipping ourselves with the right tools and understanding how to use the tools we've got. That's why one of our most recent clients struck such an obvious chord with both of us. After all, what could be a better fit with everything we've done recently than the 'Human Toolbox'?

Lindy Wheeler is fascinating, caring and, above all, knowledgeable about the human mind and brain and the 'human tools' we all have within us to change the way we think and act and so transform the results we can achieve. Her workshop on 27th April is a 'must-attend' event if you're at all interested in human potential, and especially your own!

Meanwhile, have a think about what you've been drawn towards recently and what seems to be falling into place in your life, work and career. If you've been wondering what to do with the rest of your life (or the next episode of it), you might well find a clue right there.

Maybe go with the flow for a while...

New Health and Wellbeing Forum

Bury St Edmunds Chamber of Commerce has started a new initiative - a Health and Wellbeing Forum.

I attended the inaugural meeting early this month, when we discussed basic aims and next steps for the forum.

The main purpose is to provide information and engage with local businesses and employees to improve health and wellbeing in the workplace. Ultimately, perhaps we can even make Suffolk the healthiest county.


The forum will have a Twitter account soon and I've created a Facebook Page already. You can find Bury St Edmunds Chamber of Commerce Health and Wellbeing Forum (we might have to find a shorter title!) at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bury-St-Edmunds-Chamber-of-Commerce-Health-and-Wellbeing-Forum/290388737651307
