Working with clients to enable them to achieve their career goals, I am reminded just how impatient we humans can be…. Encouraged by a buy-it-now-fix-it-quick society, (and I include myself in this whole heartedly!), we can lose heart very easily. Once we have chosen a purpose or mission, we quit when we don’t land on […]
In blazing offices and centrally heated homes it is easy to forget we need the essential vitamins provided by real sunlight and fresh air. In our synthesised environments we easily lose touch with the rhythms and cycles of the year. Whilst in our bodies we may know we needs a good dose of vitamin D, […]
Trusting that in the spaces, whilst it feels dark and winter-esque and full or dormancy, tiny tendrils of new ideas and plots and desires are reaching tentatively outwards. Later they will extend out into the world. In the meantime’s, let them secretly grow and whisper your encouragement. Wait for them to ‘become’. To learn more […]
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 in order to flourish.

There is little that is as frustrating that getting off the bus, on a very rainy winter morning, only to see it drive off with the folder full of notes for you imminent meeting sitting smugly on the seat. That is second only to running inelegantly after the aforementioned vehicle for two stops, only to […]
As a result of some dull form filling. I’ve just been revisiting my diary of the past few years. Ive been noticing just how powerful the effect of my saying out-loud what my intention was and the effect that has had on my professional world. In 2013 I voiced I would like to start a […]
That’s really all you have to do in order to open the door to possibility. On dark mid-winter mornings, sometimes it can feel hard even to do that. If I cannot do something well, I would rather not even begin….. That’s how I feel when the alarm goes off and I am tempted to jettison […]
There comes a time ….When we need to go out and’ experience’ all that we have practiced within the safety of coaching, training, mentoring or supervision.
