We wait for many things in life. Our first attraction, our first date (or as is the modern term, our first hook up), our first kiss and then who knows where that waiting may end up? Often, it’s the anticipation of waiting is either more fearful or enjoyable than the...

Sometimes I wish my dad was more like King Charles III. If I ever suggested to my father that he needed a bit of self-love, I suspect I would’ve been flogged. That expression in those days raised very different images, and the notion behind it wasn’t even thought...

I want to take you on an out of body experience. Pour yourself a wine, grab a beer, or make yourself a cuppa, and take a seat. Melt into your chair and imagine there’s a drone lifting off beside you. As it starts gliding higher into the sky, your point of view...

Recently, I attended a weekend retreat as a way of recharging my batteries, reconfirming my purpose and finetuning my direction. It was well worth the experience – shaking off a few lockdown induced cobwebs. At these things,  facilitators push you outside your...

For me, (and am sure for many others), 2021 was tough. It started with the hope that we can get over the effects of 2020 but those seemed to extend through 2021 too. It also seems so many people were just angry – at all types of things. There are many small voices...

Understand your FOMO. It will be one of the most powerful and liberating activities you will ever embrace.

"2020, really blindsided me...” “I guess 2020 made me think...” I read a report recently about increased demand for personal counselling and sadly, an increase in the number of divorces filed. It made me think about my workload this year and in late 2020, and the...

I am a big believer in having a word that will be a “theme” to shape and drive behaviour.

OK I’ve had enough. I’m calling it. Resilience is finished! Who is sick of hearing the word resilience? Who is tired of hearing that it’s resilience that underpins everything from electoral systems, to financial markets to personal strategies and relationships?Well, I...

Who has ever done the wrong thing? If you denied any accountability, I am here to tell you otherwise because that tells me that you haven’t been honest with yourself. All of us, sometime in our life will either deliberately or inadvertently do the wrong thing to...
