Roz Watkins Author of the DI Meg Dalton Crime Series Shares Thinking Strategies Which Help You Get More Done

Episode notes

Roz very kindly endorsed my book, Inner Brilliance · Outer Shine: 10 Antidotes to Imposter Syndrome, Workaholism and Stress . We trained together as coaches 18 years ago and what’s always impressed me about her, is that she makes a success of whatever she turns her hand to. She’s been a partner in a firm of patent attorneys in Derby, run a coaching business and is now an award-winning crime author with Harper Collins with her DI Meg Dalton Crime Series. This episode of Leader Insider Secrets was recorded from her writing shed overlooking a field where she thinks about murder plots. We talk about: · Her murder board. · How she uses repetitive activities to think creatively. · How she knows when it’s time to change something in her work or life. · Her tips for focusing and concentrating. · The positive childhood experience which taught her to ask for help and to trust people. · How she doesn’t get hung up on goals which she can’t control. She focuses on things she can make happen. · How she handles 1 star reviews. · How it’s important to let yourself feel ‘it’ and be genuine in your emotions. · How she cheers herself up if she feels down, when she needs to get a job done.
