Impact Isn’t Just Action — It’s Alignment!

Visible impact is what the world can see — your followers, your sales, your success stories.

Felt impact is different. It’s the energy you leave behind in a room. The way people feel after working with you. The quiet ripples you create in their lives.

Visible impact is external. Felt impact is internal.

And if you’re not careful, you can have one without the other…

How to Know When You’re in Alignment (And When You’re Not)

  1. Aligned impact feels clean: You’re clear on your values and boundaries. You’re not twisting yourself to fit someone else’s expectations.

  2. Aligned impact is energising: You’re not running on fumes. Even when it’s challenging, there’s a sense of life in what you’re building.

  3. Aligned impact is sustainable: You’re not sacrificing your health, your joy, or your relationships to make it happen.

Practical Tools: Energy Check-Ins, Values-Led Decisions

  • Energy Check-Ins: Start each day with a simple question: “What do I need today to feel grounded and clear?” Honour your answer.

  • Values-Led Decisions: Before you say yes to any opportunity, ask yourself: “Does this honour my values? My life plan? Does it honour my energy?”

  • Integrity Mapping: Once a week, review your actions. Are you showing up as the person you want to be? Where can you re-align? I have a ritual now of popping to the local pub for half a pint to check in and make sure I’m not off track!

The Secret to Lasting Impact

Impact isn’t just what you build. It’s who you become while building it.

So choose alignment first. Choose yourself.

Because when your impact flows from who you are — not just what you achieve — it becomes unshakeable!!
