How-to articles are one of my favourite types to write! I love sharing strategies, insights, techniques and tips that help with improving performance and creating more engagement.
Read on to find out why I enjoy writing them, and the spillover benefits they can generate. Get in touch if you’d like to talk about how we can apply some of these how-tos to your work and life. And subscribe to my newsletter to be notified when I publish new posts and articles.
Why do I love writing how-to articles?
I have what I describe as an insatiable curiosity about the world, and human beings in particular. I love learning about the way our minds, bodies and imaginations work, and how we can learn, grow, develop and flourish.
But theory only gets us so far! We need ways to translate theoretical knowledge into practical steps. And that’s where my how-to articles come in.
My goal with each article is for you, the reader, to walk away with at least one straightforward action that will make some kind of improvement to your work, relationships and life.
I’m a great believer that when we make a change for the good, it doesn’t “stay put” in the area where we implemented it. Instead, the benefits spill over into all areas of our lives. And we can trigger a domino effect in the people around us, helping everyone to experience the benefits of our positive change. What’s not to love?
