Every emotion, every connection, every experience and every moment passes.The only thing we can be certain of is change. This however is not easy to remember when we are in the midst of turmoil. I caught myself only this morning, watching as I wound myself into a frenzy, and I had to find a way […]
Sometimes it is not that we are ‘wrong’, nor that criticism recurred is unwarranted either, but perhaps it stings a little because we are already vulnerable? Ever had a colleague feedback on your work and whilst your head knows it us valid, and whilst in your core you know it is useful, your heart hurts […]
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 […]
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 […]

Luckily, what I also know […]
Reflecting on the ephemeral nature of the work that coaches, creatives & artists do. The work of The Narrative. There are of course measurable outcomes for those who recieve our attentions. A new job, a new self belief or promotion, but, for these to happen something deeper must visibly, actually, physically shift or change. Through […]
In business, as in life, never, ever, underestimate kindness. Genuine concern, and it really cannot be pretend, for another’s welfare, is what makes business a pleasure. They do say ‘it’s not what you know but who….’ Whilst this is simplistic and can seem callous, what I now realise is that alone, without each other, without […]
Is celebrating with my clients. This is not about financial reward, this is sharing the joy with another, in their achievements.
