I don’t know if this applies to you, but I have had it pointed out to me (often actually!), that the professional commitments I make and the responsibilities i shoulder, and the expectations I have of myself sometimes do not honour my human needs. It is not clients or business partners that cop the brunt […]
Sometimes it is not possible to be on-top-of-it-all. However hard you work, however many hours you put in, sometimes the number of projects or clients in and out of the door is way to swift a turnover for the ends to be all nearly tied up before bed. This is when it is essential to […]
Slowly but surely, from here on in, the days will get longer and the light will return. Even though we cannot see it yet, small seedlings, snug beneath the soil, begin to send tentative tendrils downwards to seek the nourishment they need to flourish. We humans are no different. Whilst the days are dark, our […]
I am not a patient patient! & Ten days of Ill-health have taught me a little about taking a deep breath and have a little faith and trust in the universe and in business whilst I heal. Predictably beautifully, January has brought career coaching business rolling into my inbox, and, it has been important for […]
In business, or in pleasure never, ever, underestimate kindness. Genuine concern, and it really cannot be faked, for another’s welfare, is what makes business a pleasure.

Slowly but surely, here on in, the days will get longer and the light will return. Even though we cannot see it yet, small seedlings, snug beneath the soil, begin to send tentative tendrils downwards to seek the nourishment they need to flourish. We humans are no different.

When you have a passion for something then it is authentic. When something is authentic people ‘get’ that authenticity. It doesn’t matter if you communicate by email or smoke signals, in person or by pigeon, the person on the receiving end of your communication will ‘get’ that you are real, genuinely excited by what you […]
One part of my job is helping people name their identities. I find it fascinating that whenever I attend an event, be it social or business, the first question usually asked is ‘what do you do?“ On one level i get it. This is a nice unthreatening question that does not invade a stranger’s personal […]
