Leadership Coaching: Unrealised Talent. You might be a leader and not even know it… Leaders come on all shapes and forms. Last month I had an experience where I was cornered into recognising my own leadership ability I set out on a mission online. I extended the invitation for others to join. Suddenly I was leading […]
Career Coaching: Reality! Whatever job, role or passion you choose to follow, there will always be bits of it you do not like…I have created my dream job: people pay me for the privilege of listening to their stories, of reflecting back their brilliance’s and to enable them. To unpick whatever is getting in their […]
Leadership coaching: Cultural Change: I’ve been reading Brené Browns “Dare To Lead”. I have been feeling real gratitude that someone had put what I (& maybe you too?), see as ‘the bloody obvious’ into words in such a coherent and persuasive way. Reading it has stimulated a multitude of questions in me. Why? One of the […]
Career Coaching: Agility: I was thinking about relationships and why it is some survive and some do not. I believe it’s connected to the level of agility within each partner.

Leadership Coaching: Expertise: Never be scared to hire people who are better than you. Here’s why: If you can lead a team of experts and those who are already “Authorities” in their own right … then between you there will be something awesome created. Never hire someone because they make you feel better about yourself […]
Career Coaching: Sustainability: Work has clear timelines and sometimes things really need to ramp up in order that these time commitments be met… And…. as a colleague put it, ‘ I need to make time to be a normal person too’ How do we do this when work, life, family, relationships all need to take […]
Career Coaching: core values. What are they? How do you find them? And why do you need them? Core values work with coaching clients is such a privilege because it is so intimate, it’s heart-based work. People usually only have three or four core values. How do you find them?
