 * The links between physical and mental health

 * The importance of zones of excellence and zones of genius.
 * The difference between our conscious and unconscious minds
 * Understanding the messages our bodies give us,

Experience Based Team Building – a conversation with Daniel O’Sullivan Team building expert

When something unexpected happens, it is amazingly useful to have the key information in one place.

As Suke Ridler [https://www.linkedin.com/in/sukeridler/?originalSubdomain=uk] lay in hospital listening to a doctor saying that they could not do anymore to help her, her first thoughts were not about herself. Suke was worried about the mess that she would be leaving behind for her family to sort out.

Administering modern life is complex. Just like Suke very few people have everything organised in one place. This realisation led Suke to create MyLifeJars.com [https://mylifejars.com/].

My Life Jars can be the place where you store your multi media life story, with all the information your family will need to act on your behalf if you are not able to act for yourself.

In this episode of the Abecederwork life balance podcast Rest And Recreation Suke explains to host Michael Millward [https://www.linkedin.com/in/abecedermichaelmillward/] the My Life Jars story, and how she planned that it would work and how people are using the platform in practice.

A High Achievers Guide to Retirement – a conversation with Retirement Transition Expert Elizabeth Zelinka Parsons

To maximise profits, you need to have a strategy that makes you stand out as an ideal supplier.

Jeanne Omlor [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeanneomlor/] is a solo parent at home, and a team player in business. Faced with the challenges of raising a child alone she searched for ways to make a secure income. Learning how to grow a brand organically opened opportunities for her to sell a service that helps her clients make lots of money.

In this episode of the Abeceder [https://www.abeceder.co.uk/] podcast The Independent Minds Jeanne describes how she realised that conventional ways of marketing were not working for her target market, coaches and business consultants.

Jeanne explains to host Michael Millward [https://www.linkedin.com/in/abecedermichaelmillward/] the organic approach that she developed for her own coaching business, which she eventually turned in to a business [https://jeanneomlor.com/] to support other coaches and consultants. A business that Jeanne structured around the Henry Ford approach to management of surrounding herself with experts and letting them get on with their work.

Their conversation covers

 * How convention networking and referral programmes are not sustainable
 * The new approach requires research into potential clients before reaching out to them
 * How to create compelling messages that will create connections with great clients
 * The content you need on your website to support your marketing activities

This is how Fit For My Age started. I was, and still am a middle-aged man who seemed to have all of the bad things that can happen to a man of my age, happen to me in a very short space of time. Or at least it felt like it!

I am sure that I am not alone in having a wake-up call type of experience. If we are lucky it happens to every man and every woman. I decided to heed the call and improve my lifestyle.

Fit For My Age is a record of my attempts to learn the things that I wish I had known earlier in life. The sort of things that may have helped me avoid or better manage the ageing process. So, I might sound as if I am saying, I wish I’d known then what I know now!

Mine will not be the only voice that you hear. I will be talking to a wide range of experts and may even be able to persuade some of the personal trainers that I have worked with to join me every so often.

What I do hope is that by sharing the knowledge I gain and the experiences that I have had you will also discover ways in which you can improve your physical health and your mental wellbeing.

You never know, a little knowledge may mean that we can, regardless of our age, all be able to say that we are Fit For My Age!

Please contact me with any questions, feedback, or content suggestions via the FitForMyAge.com website.

Thank you.
