Taking inspiration from JK Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, Rob discusses why rock bottom doesn't necessarily have to be a defeat, but can instead be reframed as a starting point for the rest of your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS We are all going to face distinct adversity in life, and it can come in any type of form. What matters is the way we look at it, and the way we look for solutions to surmount it. If you build your life on a robust set of values, then no obstacle in the world can derail your path to success. It's all a matter of seeing adversity as a potential lesson. If you're feeling stuck then just start. Just do it. If you're moving then you will build forward momentum. It's easier to move a moving body than something at rest. BEST MOMENTS 'Rock bottom was the sure foundation on which I built my life' 'That foundation had better be built upon things which can stand for the long term' 'No matter how bad things are, you can find something in it' VALUABLE RESOURCES Leader Manager Coach Podcast     ABOUT THE HOST Rob Ryles is a UEFA A licensed coach with a League Managers Association qualification and a science and medicine background.
