Gratitude

The world is a much nicer place if we can hold it gently and with gratitude. It is also SO much easier for us to do our best for our careers, our families and our Colleagues when we come from a place of appreciation. This was brought to my attention only today, when a distressed […]

The Eye Of The Storm:

There is a moment of peace, that is eerily still & quiet in The midst of any mayhem…..The adrenaline still flows, but the outside world becomes stilled. All I can advise is that this too shall pass…..  I say this not from a pessimists perspective, but from one that knows that all too soon life will have […]

Bruised Ego? Here’s Your Balm!

It’s very easy for it all to be So Serious. &, what I am discovering about business, is that the more open and dis-armed I am, the more fun business development becomes. I am meeting wise and talented people who have learnt not to take themselves or this journey too seriously. I do not mean […]

Is a phrase frequently hurled at me by my husband and not only do I resent him for it, simultaneously I also know that he is right! Firstly as a coach, supervisor, business owner, mother, and all the other hats I wear, much of my world is organised using this device…. And because it is […]

The Spaces In Between….

I am noticing a pattern. I am noticing that it is not when I focus right in on something that I find the answer. I am noticing that it is when I focus on something else entirely that the solution emerges…….. When I sit on the train and allow the view to nourish me, when […]

You Can Learn To Do ANYTHING…..

…. once you know it’s purpose. Never did I imagine I would want to know anything about coding a website. I feel I wear quite enough different ‘hats’ during every single day. I assumed I would farm this chunk of work out to an expert and have them do it on my behalf. And once […]

The Benefits of Repetition

:Today I attended a course on how to write a business plan. It’s is not the first time I have attended a course on how to write a business plan. I know it was a box ticking exercise in order to secure organisation’s funding, so I went along, just to play the game…. I was […]
