Prioritise? How can that be done???? Theirs this and tar and the other to do ….. It is enough to open the door to a mild panic attack….. Stop! Breathe…… List it all, divi it up into ‘Now’, later, and ‘when the rest is done’ If need be use Stephen Covey’s Time Management Grid: Stephen […]
I am noticing as a Coach how I can become affected by the impatience of my clients. In this turn can trigger my own impatience with my own business progress. This is an unwelcome piece of parallel process and frankly a hinderance to my own professional development and that of my coachee’s if I even […]
As the seasons change I have been noticing how differently people respond to the evolving weather patterns. How well, or indeed badly we adjust to the new temperatures can be indicative of our professional agility too. I got caught out for a whole week by Autumn. It having been warm in the early evening, I […]
There really IS enough space for all of us to be just what we want to be. The more clients I work with and professionals I learn with, the more self-evident it becomes that if you wish for success, you need to be authentic. Even If you say the right words, in the right way, […]

It is within the moment following important words being spoken, that […]
I am not one to engage happily with the consumer-society we have created. It is possible to hoard however without spending any cash at all. Are you holding onto clothes that, even if you did return to a size ten, you probably wouldn’t wear now anyhow? You may have outgrown them in your persona too. […]
