This week, we’re all about becoming more resilient.

Pushing on towards our goals is great, but, as we all know, life can have a way of messing with even the best laid plans. Whether it’s failing an exam you worked hard for, having to drop out of athletic training due to an injury, or just generally feeling down on your luck, we’ve all experienced loss or failure in some form or another.

So this week, we sit down with entrepreneur Josh Wintersgill to dig into the topic of resilience. From tips for facing up to failure to an honest look at coping when we’re feeling low, we’re chatting strategies to keep us all going when the going gets tough.

This is On Your Marks. Because you’ll never know until you try.

This week, we’re all about finding what works for you.

We all know that one of the awesome things about the ACCA qualification is its flexibility. From how many exams you sit at a time to whether you do self-study, or learn with a provider, there are so many routes of entry that it’s rare for two people’s journeys to look exactly the same.

So this week, we sit down with Paul Kirkwood - ACCA UK’s Regional Head of Education and Learning. He takes us through the wide variety of options available to support you on your journey, as well as give some inside tips on what ACCA’s data shows makes a difference to exam results. Plus, we chat to Shaun Fenwick – he’s recently passed all his exams and is now a qualified ACCA accountant. He shares his journey - including some stops, starts, and resits - and gives some stellar advice on how to keep going when the going gets tough.

This week, we’re kicking procrastination.

We’ve all been there. You’re settled down to do some revision, or write an important email, then the first thought creeps in… “What if I just checked my phone? Or… cleaned the kitchen? Or watched just half an episode of that new show…” And before you know it, 3 hours have gone by, you’re tired, and it’s too late to get started.

Procrastinating on tasks, even ones we care about, is a normal, if painful, part of life for most of us. So this week, we sit down with Dr Julia Ravey. She’s a neuroscientist, author, and self-confessed procrastinator. She’s an expert in understanding what’s happening in our brains when we put off tasks – from conflicts between the logical and emotional centres of our brains, to tricks for creating sustainable revision habits.

Beating procrastination

This week, we’re talking relationships.

When we’re pushing towards a goal, or just generally having a tough time, many of us will instinctively turn to our friends, family, colleagues, or even pets for support. But… why? What is it about our relationships that can help pick us up when we’re feeling down? And why is nurturing those connections key to both our physical and mental health, and achieving our goals?

This week, we sit down with Dr Anna Machin. She’s an evolutionary anthropologist who’s spent her career studying the science of close human relationships. From the neurochemicals underlying your tightest friendships to the best social activities for your brain when facing down deadlines, we’re digging deep into how our connection with others helps us get where we want to be.
