It’s Not You, It’s Us
A Superpower for You, You and You
It's almost too easy for things to be hard. There is often a safety in thinking something is too difficult - if we don't begin to do it, or we don't put ourselves out there again, surely we are more likely to be safe? That's the end game isn't it? To be safe so we …
The Problem with Creativity
Recently I've been losing a lot of arguments to 6 year olds. They have amazing ways to summarise, cutting straight to the core of an issue or  accepting things as being different, simply because, well they are different. Kids can often see a way to approach a problem we've never even dreamed of. When working with students …
The Enemies of King Joffrey: Good and Nice.
There is something amazing that can happen when you actually listen to people. We're not talking about the usual kind of listening where you are waiting for your chance to add in your two cents, or the kind when you are simply shaking/nodding your head to display mild agreement and let the person feel listened …

ET, Baguettes and Space Invaders – Part One
It's been an amazing few weeks here at Upgraded headquarters. We've not only been developing and creating our very own personal time machines and establishing ways to shape reputations better than Donald Trump, but we've begun down the paths of physically altering and changing our brains through growth mindsets.

Doc Brown, Time Machines AND Eisenhower
Time is non-renewable. Once gone, you can't simply jump into a Delorean and claim it back. Make the most of the time you have, while you have it.
Upgrade or Trump that Reputation (not like Donald though)
There's you and seven billion other people around the world. There is you and the world you see and experience. Everything you hear, think about and choose to notice is in your world and really only understood by you. That's one world. Then there are the seven billion other worlds "out there" in all those other people's heads. …
