TOP TIPS FOR SUCCESS
• Be honest with yourself, integrity is
absolutely everything
She goes on to say of the Army ‘it’s about
competence, not gender.
In the Army,
everyone receives an annual report and you
are assessed on what you have accomplished’.
A great believer in healthy body and healthy
mind, she absolutely believes in the power of a
good night’s sleep and exercise as part of your
daily routine.
• Believe in yourself. Your only limiter
is what you are prepared to do
• Look after yourself. If you feel
healthy in body then you will
be in mind
• Don’t cut corners. Anything worth
doing is worth doing well
For her, life is about balance. While she works
hard, Stephanie also enjoys the outdoor life,
especially running and showing her dogs – 3
German shorthaired pointers and 2 Jack Russell
Terriers. An early riser, she seems determined
to pack as much as possible into the day and is
a whirlwind of energy.
• Get a good nights sleep
You can hear Col Stephanie Jackman speak at
our next Live Event in Glasgow on 12th October.
Before finishing our chat she confides, ‘when
I was 12 I wanted to read the news and a few
years ago I tried out for the speaking clock’.
After being inspired by her for the past hour and
with new career as a personal development
coach on the horizon, this interviewer has no
doubt that she will make a lot of women sit up
and take notice when she speaks.
