Do you ever feel as though you’ve been hiding fom the world? Or somehow lost yourself along the way? Last week I had a meeting with a potential client to see how I could help some of their business managers. One of the people at the meeting was a woman who I’d met several times [...]

Where are you?
How busy are you?
“Hi, how are you? Are you busy?” Is it just me, or do people greet you this way too? Now I know they have my best interests in mind but how come ‘being busy’ is so important? And what if I haven’t been busy? Does that reflect badly on me when they are clearly so [...]
Waving or Drowning?
Are you keeping on top of things? Or do you sometimes feel like you’re drowning under a deluge of information, demands, commitments, responsibilities, emails, advice, ideas, tweets, offers, promotions….and so the list goes on!
And now here I am, offering even more…….sorry ;-)
In the last few weeks, I’ve spoken to so many people who, for a variety of reasons, have been feeling stressed, anxious, exhausted or just completely overwhelmed. And in this state of mind stress levels rise, our minds become cluttered and we find it even more difficult to think clearly, solve problems or cope effectively with the challenges that face us.
So what can you do if you feel affected?
Dare to be you ;-)
Is it just me or have you noticed how so many people and so many things are starting to look and sound the same these days? Our local high streets are lined with the same familiar retail names, every other film released is now in 3d and yet more contestants are competing on TV to [...]
What can you learn from 2010?
Well, it’s that time of year again, when everyone seems to be talking of new year’s resolutions, setting goals for 2011 and all the changes they want to make. And why not, it’s as good a time as any? Although I do believe that we shouldn’t feel compelled or obliged just because of the date [...]
Where are you trying too hard?
Recently I’ve begun practicing the Japanese martial art of Aikido ;-) And whilst I’m definitely very much a novice, it’s still quite amazing to experience the strength and power that can arise without physical effort or brut force. Aikido means ‘The way of harmony of spirit’ and uses natural movements like yielding and flow to [...]
Are you sure?
There’s so much talk these days of uncertainty, and of these uncertain times we’re living in, it seems as if this is something to fear. Yet if we just pause for a moment…..how many of us, honestly, would want to be absolutely certain about the future, know exactly what’s going to happen for the rest [...]
Do you dare? ;-)
How courageous are you? Where have you demonstrated courage in your life? And what is courage anyway? Courage seems to be one of those words or concepts that means something quite different for each of us. Or rather, what we interpret as being courageous seems to vary enormously. I’m sure we’ve all experienced times when [...]
How surprised will you be?
When I woke up this morning I got quite a surprise! As i slid my feet into my snug, warm slippers I felt something strange under my right foot. And when I removed my foot and shook the slipper… out fell a HUGE spider :-o You can imagine my surprise! I’d like to say that [...]
