 It's just too easy to fall into the game of creating your art and producing your results because you're afraid that if you don't, you'll be forgotten. Or you'll fall behind.But creating and producing from this frame of energy means you're scared, not strong. And consumers of your output feel the emotion you're feeling when you make the work.The real game to play is one where your work influences, affects and uplifts multiple generations. Short-term producers are consumed by trends, algorithms and immediate visibility. Creative giants (like Tolstoy, Salinger and Monet, for example) did the work to honor gift. And to express their voice. Lasting relevance was the inevitable result.By the way, I've created a really special and deeply tactical new course that will help you significantly increase your productivity and performance over the next 30 days. It's called The Amazing Day Blueprint. Here are the details to get full access now. Enrolment ends in a few days.FOLLOW ROBIN SHARMA:InstagramFacebookYouTube

There may come a point in your coaching business where on paper, everything is going pretty well. You have clients. You're getting results. Your niche “makes sense.” And yet… Something feels off. In this episode, I'm talking about what it really means when you start to feel like you've outgrown your coaching niche — and how to evolve without blowing up your website, scrapping your SEO, or having a full identity crisis. Because here's the truth: Outgrowing a niche isn't failure. It's often growth. I walk you through: The subtle signs you're feeling misaligned (resentment, depletion, creative boredom) Why niching is about clarity — not a life sentence How I personally test new ideas and programs without rebranding everything The difference between being pushed by frustration and pulled by expansion Why you're absolutely allowed to have more than one niche And how your coaching identity — not your niche — is the real anchor in your business I also share how this evolution has shown up in my own work over the years — from burnout coaching to alcohol work, to life transitions, to business coaching — and how I've allowed multiple niches to coexist under one consistent brand and philosophy. And if you're feeling the pull toward a new niche but questioning whether you have the skill set or confidence to support a broader range of clients, this is exactly why I created the Confident Coaching Skills Intensive (CCSI). The CCSI is designed to deepen your coaching confidence so you're not limited by one narrow topic. It helps you expand your range, coach more flexibly, and trust yourself in new territory — so when you feel that evolution happening, you can move toward it intelligently instead of reactively. Enrolment is closing soon, and it's a small, intimate room. If this episode resonates, that might be your sign. Bottom line? You don't need to burn your business down because you're bored. But you also don't need to ignore the boredom. It might be the beginning of your next great coaching offer. Episode Resources:

A surge in enrolments has Auckland University's campus buzzing. Total semester one enrolments have topped 47,000, up 8% from the same time last year. Undergraduate numbers are driving much of the growth rising 10%, which is nearly three thousand more students. Deputy Vice Chancellor of Education Sarah Young told Mike Hosking that several factors are driving the increase. She says more students go to university when unemployment is high, while they've put a lot of work into attracting international students.

We heard this morning that primary school enrolment has fallen by 6 thousand, 500 in the past year –This is the biggest decline we have seen in recent years.But is this just down to the declining population in primary school aged children or is there something that can be done to turn this figure around and save small rural schools here?

In two days time a new retirement savings system for employees will come into effect. People without a pension scheme earning over 20,000 euro and aged between 23 and 60 will be automatically enrolled into the new system. RTÉ Work & Technology Correspondent Brian O'Donovan reported what the changes entail.

Today, girl… we're not talking about your workout. We're not talking about sets, reps, zones, or checklists. We're talking about one rep — the most important thing you've never been taught. Because I can tell everything about your training, your standards, your nervous system, your confidence, and the story you hold in your body… from a single rep.  And today I'm teaching you why owning one rep is the beginning of every result you want — your strength, your visible muscle, your body recomposition, your power. This episode? Honestly — it might be the most important one I've ever recorded. If you want to get strong, build delicious muscle, move without pain, and actually change your body? You need to learn how to own the rep. This is where everything begins. Let's go. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most women chase volume, sweat, heart rate zones, and heavier loads. But strength, muscle growth, and body recomposition begin with how you move through one rep — not the number on the bar. Your setup tells me everything: your tension, your mechanics, your confidence, your fatigue, your stress, your safety, your sequencing. Before the bar even moves. There are 5 phases of every rep — and each determines your results. Setup → Initiation → Transition → Return → FinishIf you rush, collapse, panic, or lose tension in any phase? You lose the rep. Technique IS strength. You don't get strong then clean up your technique.Your technique creates your strength. Your execution determines your capacity. The transition — the hardest inch of the movement — exposes everything: stability, tendon stiffness, fear, confidence, and your ability to tolerate discomfort. Women who get strong are the ones who stay here. Beauty in movement = safety in the nervous system. Fluidity, smoothness, and control signal safety.Safety signals adaptation.Adaptation builds strength and visible muscle. When you own one rep, you own your entire training life. One rep at a time is how you build strength, elegance, power, and the body you love. POWERFUL QUOTES “I can tell everything about your training, your standards, and your nervous system from one rep — before the bar even moves.” “Strength doesn't begin with weight. Muscle doesn't begin with weight. It all begins with awareness.” “You don't rise to the weight — you fall to your level of technique.” “Fluidity is the marker of mastery. When you're strong, it looks beautiful.” “When you own one rep, you own your strength. When you own your strength, you own your body. And when you own your body, you own your damn life.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Dave Tate (EliteFTS) The Women Who Train Survey Is this you? A woman in her 40s who's doing all the right things — lifting, walking, fuelling — but still not seeing the strength, shape, or confidence you expected because you're not sure what the right thing is for your body, in the right way, at the right time?

From today, employers can register for the new pension auto-enrollment scheme. To discuss this, Minister for social protection, Dara Calleary.

The Government is being forced to bring in emergency regulations to stop companies attempting to subvert the new auto-enrolment pension. About 750,000 workers are set to be signed up to the My Future Fund auto-enrolment pension from early January. It has emerged, however, that some companies are trying to avoid having their staff signed up to My Future Fund because they do not want to handle the administrative burden and cost involved. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Ivan Dunne, Head of Financial Services with Campion Insurance. Picture (c) ADragan from Getty Images via Canva

Tommy Corbett from Carey Corbett Financial Solutions was back in Clare FM to tell us everything you need to know on the auto-enrolment pension scheme in Ireland.

Ireland's new auto-enrolment pension system is coming in 2026, with most of the public's focus on the January start date. However, Caroline Rowan, Head of Retirement Consulting at Aon Ireland, believes that it is actually now, the beginning of November, that is the critical window for the auto-enrolment rollout.

In this episode of Pensions in a Pod, UK and Irish pensions specialists David McKeating and Louise McRae join Jeremy Goodwin to explore Ireland's upcoming automatic enrolment scheme, launching in January 2026.

In this week's episode, Jessica Rose and Anna Campbell explore the unexpected advantages behind the rising costs of silver and gold. While many jewellers worry about affordability and holding stock, Jessica and Anna reveal that these changes can actually strengthen your business and the handmade jewellery industry as a whole. They discuss seven key benefits, including: - The increased inherent value of your jewellery - customers now see handmade pieces as not only beautiful but a smart long-term investment. - A boost in the value of any metal stock you already own - some jewellers have seen their materials rise by around 50%, leading to higher profits when priced correctly. - Rising prices encourage better pricing confidence and healthier profit margins across the industry, moving away from undercharging. - More customers are looking to resell, recycle or redesign their old jewellery - creating new opportunities for bespoke services and lasting client relationships. - Despite higher prices, demand for gold and silver jewellery remains strong, driven by design, desire, and personal connection—not just cost. - Small independent jewellers now stand out more clearly from high-street brands, as mass-produced copies become harder to make in precious metals. - Hallmarking gains value, giving customers reassurance and proof of authenticity as they invest in higher-priced pieces. The episode ends with a powerful reminder: adopting a positive mindset and valuing your role as a maker is key to growth. Now is the time to embrace opportunity, build trust, and create jewellery with confidence.

In this week's episode of the Jewellers Academy Podcast, host Jessica Rose is joined by Anna Campbell for a look at common mistakes jewellers make when growing their business and how to overcome them. They also introduce the Jewellery Business Academy (JBA) a year-long programme designed to give jewellers the tools, knowledge, and confidence they need to thrive.   The  1 year Jewellery Business Academy, starting on Monday 5th January 2026, is built to transform how jewellers run their businesses. What began as an intensive eight-week bootcamp has now evolved into a year-long experience with weekly training, one to one mentoring, expert-led sessions, and monthly themes – making business learning both manageable and sustainable.   Whether you're just starting out or have been running your jewellery business for years, this episode shares challenges you may recognise and shows you how to overcome them.   8 Common Mistakes Jewellers Make (and How the Academy Helps)   1. Lack of Industry-Specific Knowledge    Business advice can feel too generic – but jewellers face unique challenges. The JBA delivers jewellery-focused training on hallmarking, pricing, trade shows, collections, commissions, and more. Industry experts like Anna Campbell (email marketing), Karen Young (photography, marketing), Elin Horgan (wholesale, design), and Emma René (branding, visual merchandising) bring real-world expertise directly to you.   2. Overwhelm    Running a jewellery business can feel like spinning too many plates at once. The JBAy reduces overwhelm by focusing on one topic per month - from pricing and finance to email marketing, launching, and branding - so you can take things step by step.   3. Procrastination    Accountability matters. Through monthly group calls in small, supportive cohorts, you'll share progress, discuss challenges, and stay motivated to complete tasks and hit your goals.   4. Isolation    Being a maker can feel lonely. That's why the JBA includes a private community where you can connect with fellow jewellers, ask questions, and celebrate wins together so you never have to feel like you're doing it alone.   5. Lack of Confidence    Investing in your growth builds confidence. The JBA is designed as a long-term investment in you and your business, helping you feel capable and empowered as a business owner.   6. Fear & Imposter Syndrome    Many jewellers doubt whether they're “qualified” enough to run a business. JBA is CPD accredited (new for 2026), meaning you'll earn a recognised certification that adds credibility and reassurance to your skills.   7. Lack of Strategy    Without a plan, it's easy to get stuck in day-to-day tasks. Over the course of the year, you'll develop a Jewellery Business Growth Plan - a structured, personalised roadmap that clarifies your vision, sets goals, and keeps you moving forward.   8. Self-Doubt    Sometimes you just need expert eyes on your business. With one-to-one mentoring sessions, you'll be matched with specialists in areas like social media, wholesale, or branding, giving you tailored advice and clarity to take confident action.   Who is the Jewellery Business Academy For?   The Jewellery Business Academy is open to jewellers at every stage, from beginners launching their first collections to established makers seeking to refine, grow, and scale.

In this week's episode of the Jewellers Academy Podcast, Jessica Rose talks with jeweller and community member Iain Sainsbury to explore his journey through the Advanced Stone Setting Masterclasses program, an advanced training series designed for jewellers ready to refine their fine jewellery and stone-setting skills.   Iain shares how he discovered jewellery-making after career burnout, and why the Masterclasses became the perfect next step in his learning. From tackling the challenges of piercing and decorative collets with Anelia Kuprina, to pushing his stone-setting skills further with Scott McIntyre, and making tiara wedding rings with April Dace, Iain reflects on the breakthroughs, struggles, and valuable lessons he's learnt along the way.   This conversation highlights not just the technical skills taught in the program, but also the importance of community, accountability, and feedback in the learning journey. Iain talks about his philosophy of 'slow making,' the benefits of creating prototypes, and how he has been able to transfer his new skills into his own sand-casting practice.   Whether you're curious about the Masterclasses, looking for inspiration to challenge yourself, or eager to hear from a fellow jeweller's perspective, this episode offers insights, encouragement, and practical takeaways.   Enrolment is now open for the Jewellers Masterclasses.

A leading pensions expert is warning that the Government's auto-enrolment campaign for pensions - due to begin on January 1st - does not equip businesses with the practical information employers need to choose between auto-enrolment and existing pension options available. Feargal McKenna, co-founder of Pensions Awareness Week, which takes place from September 29th to October 3rd, and Head of Corporate at Moneycube.ie, was speaking to over 100 businesses at a Breakfast Briefing for Wicklow's business community this morning, which was also addressed by Tánaiste Simon Harris. The free event, at The GRID in Greystones, was organised by Wicklow's business networking group, East Wicklow Business Network (WicklowBusiness.ie) and the Local Enterprise Office Wicklow. Feargal McKenna unveiled a new Auto-Enrolment Calculator developed by Moneycube.ie specifically for employers and hosted on the Pensions Awareness Week website - www.pensionsawarenessweek.ie. The calculator - which is free to use - is designed to give Irish employers instant clarity about the true cost of auto-enrolment on their payroll and the impact on employees' take-home pay. It also allows employers to compare these costs with alternative pension arrangements, so they can make informed decisions before the scheme begins. Unlike most existing auto-enrolment calculators, which focus only on employees, Moneycube.ie's tool is built for employers, who ultimately decide whether to default into auto-enrolment or take action to establish an alternative scheme. The calculator is easy to use, with just six steps providing business owners, HR managers or finance teams with the information they need to decide whether to prepare their organisations for auto-enrolment or explore alternative options. Employers enter a few simple details about their workforce - such as employee numbers, salary levels, and contribution rates. The calculator instantly shows the total payroll cost under auto-enrolment, how much employees' net pay will fall, and the potential advantages of alternative options. Feargal McKenna, Head of Corporate at Moneycube.ie, says: "If auto-enrolment starts on January 1st, about 800,000 employees will see a reduction in net take-home pay, but employers still have time to choose a structure that can avoid that and possibly deliver better outcomes. "Our employers' calculator gives business owners, HR and finance teams instant, side-by-side numbers: the payroll cost under auto-enrolment over a 10-year period and how that compares with a well-designed occupational pension. Defaulting into auto-enrolment can disadvantage higher-rate taxpayers and limit retirement choices. The Government has released information about their Auto-Enrolment scheme, but it has fallen short in providing a straightforward tool to help people understand the options. Moneycube.ie's calculator fills that gap while supporting the goal of getting Ireland saving for retirement - something that is core to the reason we set up Pensions Awareness Week. "We built this calculator because employers need an instant picture from two, often opposing, perspectives: the finance team, focused on controlling costs, and HR, focused on benefits, recruitment and retention. Government may have cried wolf in the past, but businesses no longer have the luxury of waiting. If pension contributions aren't flowing through payroll by December, the gift under the tree this year - whether you asked for it or not - will be auto-enrolment… and it doesn't come with batteries."

Eoin McGee, Financial Planner

Jerry is joined by the managing director at Rockwell Financial Management, Robert Whelan. They discuss to Ireland’s long-awaited auto-enrolment pension scheme, "My Future Fund", which will begin on the 1 January 2026. It’s one of the most significant pension reforms in decades. Approximately 800,000 workers will benefit from auto-enrolment, primarily those aged 23 to 60, and earning over €20,000 without an occupational pension. Robert Whelan says pensions will now be a key part of an employer’s offer to employees.

Auto-enrolment is a new pension savings scheme for certain employees who are not paying into a pension. They will be automatically included in the scheme but can opt out after 6 months. The introduction of the auto-enrolment retirement savings scheme, called my future fund, will start from 1 January 2026. To explain all the details and to answer listeners queries was Keith Dundon, Head of financial services at SYS Financial.

With Ireland's Auto Enrolment pension scheme due to launch in January 2026, Campion Insurance is warning that many employers are dangerously underprepared. Payroll errors, compliance risks, and employee confusion are looming unless businesses act now. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Ivan Dunne, Head of Financial Services at Campion Insurance. The yawning gap in the pension provision between men and women has been exposed. The average Irish woman's pension pot is a “staggering” 40pc less than men's. An average pension pot for a man in Ireland is €102,000. But it is only €60,500 for women, according to research by the Irish-owned network of financial advisers Ask Acorn. Also joining Alan on Thursday's Morning Focus is Hilary Tonge, Former Social Democrats General Election Candidate. PHOTO CREDIT: Picture (c) ADragan from Getty Images via Canva.com News

Guest: Kris Rushowy, Toronto Star reporter It's back-to-school season and Ontario universities are packed like never before. A record number of more than 84,000 first-year students are starting this fall. But even with record enrolment, schools are facing an $80 million shortfall. For years, international students have been the financial safety net, paying up to six times the tuition of Ontario students. Now, with Ottawa tightening immigration rules and visas harder to get, those numbers are dropping. Universities say the system is already in distress. Programs are being cut, staff laid off, and almost half are running deficits. And now, with higher demand from local students, there is even less money to teach them.

Leaving it to the last minute to enrol to vote will become a thing of the past, under sweeping electoral law changes the Government's announced today. The changes mean enrolment will close before the 12 day long advance voting period begins. There will also be a total ban on prisoners voting and providing free food, drink or entertainment within 100 metres of voting places will become an offence. Otago University Law Professor Andrew Geddis spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

We're re-releasing this episode because the questions it raises are more relevant than ever. In 2025, as technology transforms how students learn and entire industries evolve, the role of educators is shifting rapidly. Classrooms are becoming more digital, expectations more complex, and the pressure to keep students engaged—and prepared for the future—has never been greater. Yet, many teachers are stepping away. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly half of public education employees who leave the field aren't retiring or laid off. They're choosing to resign. Amid ongoing challenges like burnout, staffing shortages, and shifting school environments, educators are asking: How do we keep going—and keep growing? That's why we're revisiting this conversation with 2023 National Teacher of the Year Rebecka Peterson. A math teacher from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Rebecka speaks with warmth, clarity, and an unshakable belief in the power of human connection. Her story is a reminder that joy, purpose, and sustainability in teaching are still possible—even in a time of change. Why this encore? Because Rebecka's reflections on resilience, creativity, and care offer both inspiration and practical wisdom for anyone invested in the future of education   Episode Highlights + Timestamps: 00:00 — Why great teachers leave (and why it matters) 01:30 — Rebecka's immigrant journey & early love for teaching 06:00 — "I'm not a math person" and the cultural damage of that phrase 09:00 — How Rebecka builds trust: "Kids spell love T-I-M-E" 12:00 — The math teacher shortage: only 25 graduates in her entire state 15:00 — The "One Good Thing" blog that saved her teaching career 19:00 — From burnout to National Teacher of the Year 24:00 — What every teacher (and school leader) should be asking 28:00 — Advice to teachers on the brink of burnout 31:00 — The power of reflection, systems, and 1% growth Meet Rebecka Peterson: Rebecka is a high school math teacher at Union High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the 2023 National Teacher of the Year.

This is an encore episode — and with good reason. As the school year winds down and summer approaches, the “summer slide” — the loss of academic progress over the break — becomes a very real concern once again. Without intentional learning opportunities, students can lose ground they've worked hard to gain, making each new year harder than the last. In this conversation, Kevin revisits a timely discussion with Aaron Dworkin, CEO of the National Summer Learning Association, about how the right summer programs don't just prevent learning loss — they help students come back stronger, more confident, and ready for what's next. Because summer doesn't have to be a setback. It can be a springboard. This is what I know.   Meet Aaron Aaron Dworkin is the CEO of the National Summer Learning Association, which works to ensure all young people in America, especially the most vulnerable, can access and afford a high-quality summer learning experience every year.   —----------------------------------------------- K12's innovative programs give students a head start on their healthcare career journey.  Enrolment is open at K12!
