Every time I work with a client, We work in a different way. Even if we are using a technique I have used many a time before, even on a subject that appears similar, The process we design together will be entirely unique. Working with a client today we noticed that we were not doing […]
The power of walking alongside, and I mean physically really walking, is phenomenal. A majority of the coaching sessions I provide are static. Sitting across from the client, albeit with a beautiful view, we metaphorically journey together. However sometimes it’s much more effective to travel alongside each other in real time. When I client learned […]
It is all too easy to compare your inside with other people’s outside and come off much the worse for doing so. Because you live inside yourself, you see all the vulnerabilities and fears and flaws. We are also not best equipped to see our own skills and talents somehow. When we look at other’s […]
I had been invited to write some content for a fellow practitioner’s website. Monday I sat down and wrote the body of it. Then I set it aside for three days, firstly due to other commitments but also to let it settle. In the past I have perhaps been so keen to tick it off […]

I have had the privilege of seeing it over […]
There is a deep connection between our Career and Core Purpose and our wellbeing. When we do work that is too removed from our core purpose than we become saddened. There is often such a conflict between three things: The thing that we long to do. The thing will earn us enough money to keep the […]
When our professional plans do not go as we wished, there is a choice to be made. Whilst we may not be in charge of the change itself, we can choose how to respond to it. A client didn’t turn up for a coaching session today. Having not only been looking forward to working with her, […]
In work environments and working relationships the tensions can build at times of crisis. When change is fostered upon us, or, perhaps even more subtly, when a transition begins to take place beneath the surface, old protocols cease to work. When the old way of being or working become redundant there will be a time […]
With the career coaching I provide, the tweak that often needs to be made in order to make everything line up, concerns an individual’s professional identity. Humans are made up of layers and layers of ‘assumed’ notions of self-perception. Throughout our lives we take onboard the expectations of other. These expectations are usually well-meant, but, […]
