Never thought I’d be writing those words but there you go! That’s how my afternoon has been and you get to share in it if you choose to continue reading….. So having developed my site a year ago and having had a conversation with an SEO expert, I decided that rather than spend the money, […]
Spending time with a colleague this morning I was noticing how she was comparing her inside feelings, with my outside self. Interestingly enough, she came off worse. Not in any way because I am doing any better than her. but because she was measuring her vulnerable emotions against an engineered facade. This is not to […]
So, you have a worry…. Now, what to do with it? It took me 26 years to work out what to do with my worries. As an introverted child in a tense household, the last thing I would ever do is tell anyone of my fear.As a contorted teenager, I converted my worries like gems, wrapping […]
You may be terrified of doing something new. Sure, you may have been awake much of the night worrying about your presentation. Or you may be dealing with a family crisis that’s shaken your confidence. You may have concerns for your own abilities, but, more often than not, its a risk worth taking. If we […]

When I have sent the very client who is extremely particular about things being done correctly, a corrupted document, in a manner that seems almost impossible to do deliberately, after apologising, I had to laugh….. After arriving at the […]
If your personal or professional situation has become unbearable or untenable, it seems important to risk saying your truth. There are kind ways of saying it, but it does still need be said. To remain in situations that do not agree with us, whether it challenges us ethically, or emotionally, or if something else in […]
There are days where we lose self-belief and things seem hard and we can feel ‘less than’ The people who surround us….. From this place in ourselves we can recognise the strengths in others but only the vulnerabilities in ourselves. These can be dark days. Perhaps it helps at these times to hold on to […]
I had a weird experience last night. At a meeting I noticed that the tension between myself and a really amazing colleague had dissolved.
