Welcome to Leading by Adventure - Your adventures have begun

Exercise and develop the more spiritual aspects of what makes you YOU; 50 weekly self-development challenges

Why take these challenges?

To encourage and support you in exercising the more intuitive and spiritual aspects of what makes you YOU. Each challenge is primarily about taking your perspective and your awareness to a new location for a few moments. What you do there and how long you stay is entirely up to you – It is your adventure after all.

+ Green track - taking it in your stride

Set up your logistics supply chain

Make sure you receive these challenges in their best light. The way we see things affects how we receive them. Our subconscious in particular can be very influenced by appearance and feel. The images and graphics around each challenge have been selected to encourage you in different ways. To give them the best chance of working, find a time and space when you can engage with each challenge peacefully and without interruption, so you can give it your whole attention and give it the best chance of working for you.

Target a worthwhile objective

Not every challenge will suit you. Furthermore, our minds are inherently lazy and seek to find reasons to avoid a work out. So how do you tell the difference? Why not set a contract with yourself over the coming year, that each month you will do at least one of the next four challenges. That should ensure that you have enough choice to suit you, and will help to combat any mental lethargy. You can always step up your contract if you feel it is too easy.

You may find the following resources helpful in tackling your challenge or in gaining further benefits from the skills and insights you develop

Please note, this series of adventures was originally developed and sent out as a series of weekly posts over the period of a year. Since then they have been collated into a library of all 50 challenges which can be engaged with at people’s own pace. However, this means that some of the networking links that you will find in the various ‘post’ sections (like this one) no longer work as expected. Hopefully this will not impact the effectiveness of your adventures, but, if there are any other links that have stopped working and do spoil the adventure, please let me know via this page.
