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 […]

What we think, we say, what we say, we make manifest…… I am not talking about ignoring real safeguarding for vulnerable clients here or avoiding doing a risk assessment on a project. This is not […]
It doesn’t matter how bright you are or how very astute your ideas, if you do not share them then they have no value. This is a bold statement, but, hundreds of thousands of words, in an unpublished book, are silent. The best entrepreneurial notion, left trapped inside a brain, will have no impact whatsoever […]

This was juicy! […]
