Happy Friday Everyone, 

Firstly I hope today’s email can bring a smile to your day. This is something that I am incredibly proud of and have been waiting to share for a long time now. I feel the message in the talk is very suitable for children, adults, teachers and parents with what we are facing as a human race at the moment. 

Secondly, if you have a spare 15 minutes today, please watch and share my TEDx talk. I would love any feedback. If you like the message and the talk, I would be extremely grateful if you could share this with family and friends as the message will help everyone bring a little joy and happiness into their days. 

TEDx – Narcissistic  to Nice by Dale Sidebottom 2020

As humans, our workloads are becoming more and more demanding, which means stress, anxiety and burnout are on the rise. In this busy, 24/7 world, our natural instinct is to give, give, give. We give to our career, our family, our future. But this often means that we neglect our most valuable asset, ourselves. 

From burnout and subsequently hitting rock bottom, Dale shares his journey from narcissistic to nice. But more importantly, he shares how he turned all of this around to be at the top of his game today. With enthusiasm and high energy, Dale will show you how incorporating play, exercise, gratitude and kindness into your daily routine will change your life and allow us all, to focus on the ‘now’.

Have a great Friday everyone, cheers Dale
