Listen With EquiTeam

Following on from last week's podcast with the daunting fact that on average you have 4,000 weeks (if you are lucky and live to 80), combined with lots of chat in the Equiteam Connected group, Equiteam's Lou Gillings set about researching different goal setting methods, which she used for the base of her blog 'How hard are you willing to work'.

Lou explored different methods outside the traditional SMART goal comfort zone and came across WOOP and ACID goal setting which spiked her interest as it got her thinking about the possible obstacles, and also how much she really wanted her goals.

Join Liz and Lou for an easy flowing chat:

Sometimes you get those emails that make you stop and think, and when the Art of Brilliance email: Busy, busy, busy, busy, busy… Dead popped into Liz's inbox; she couldn't help but click the link.

The average lifespan is 4,000 weeks, and clicking the link calculates how long you've been on the planet – and how long you have left (on average). It shares how many birthdays you might have, how many springs and how many beach days… all very thought-provoking, and a little bit scary!

Join Equiteam's Liz Daniels and Louise Gillings for a catch up and a reminder to have some fun.

In this episode, Liz Daniels is joined by Jo Williams, older sister of the late Georgie Campbell and a trustee of the Georgie Campbell Foundation.

The tragic loss of Georgie rocked the equestrian community to the core, and after Georgie's public memorial, the foundation was created with two missions in mind; to improve horse and rider safety by reducing the risk of rotational falls; and, secondly, to provide riders with early-stage eventing businesses through the provision of mentoring, educational training, and bursary support.

Jo shares how the sisters grew up surrounded by ponies on the farm, and Jo being annoyed that Georgie could do rising trot before her – to the formation of the foundation, and the story behind the Hi Ho Silver Twig jewelry.

Listen to the podcast and find out how you can get involved in supporting Georgie's legacy to make positive change in the sport.
