‘Over the moon’ is one of those irritating football clichés up there with ‘sick as a parrot’ and ‘it’s a game of two halves’.
For years, my personal bug-bear was ‘giving 120%’. I’m an educated man so I’d curse at the radio, ‘You cannot give more than 100%!’
But of course, the footballers are absolutely correct. You can give 120% if the end result is that you have surprised yourself and achieved beyond what you thought was possible.
And this is why our keynotes, workshops and books are so powerful, they’re about enabling you and those around you to go beyond what you thought you were capable of.
The only catch is that you have to go first.
