You all know my views about celebrating wins! Mostly I encourage celebrating the small wins, those micro moves we are making on a daily and weekly basis, that move us in the direction of our vision and the results we most want to achieve in our lives. And every now and again, those micro moves …
I first heard this quote when I was starting out in business. At the time I was about a year into running my own business and had bought into the cultural brainwash that making a success of working for yourself meant ‘being on’ 24/7. In truth, the concept that I could be more successful by …
Do you ever get to feel that way? Meh? The dictionary defines it as ‘feeling bored or apathetic’. Being somehow ‘unimpressed’ with how things are going or the progress you are making, e.g. in terms of achieving your vision. This is something I’ve been challenged with myself of late and am working through it. It …
Just last weekend I delivered two workshops, sharing strategies and empowering participants to design and live lives they love living. It’s a power we all have, to create outcomes we love. It’s also true that we have the power to be happy now, we don’t need to wait for new outcomes and different results to …

The koans can seem a bit paradoxical and in my …
Lots has been written about gratitude and how powerful it is as a practice for enhancing our lives and wellbeing. If you’ve been on any of my programmes, you’ll know how much I encourage people to engage with it as a means of building resilience and shifting perspective. I’ve also shared with many of you …

I just started a new group on my Standing Firm programme. It’s a powerful 4-hour programme delivered over 4 weeks, empowering participants to build skill and support for dealing with uncertainty and challenge. It’s all about creating change and new more empowering approaches to life’s challenges. I’ve also recently delivered some Vison Workshops so I …
Some of you may remember a hike I shared about doing in December 2019. For my level of fitness it was an ambitious hike (4 hours plus up a fairly steep incline) and the ascent being done in darkness! All part of my celebration of the winter solstice that year. I found it challenging and …
