Sit down. Breathe. Write. Repeat...GSI
Oh my goodness, if ever there was some advice to share with you it's this. Get Someone In (GSI) Rather than try to know everything, do everything, sort everything - GSI. When i reflect on the 19 years of all the different strands of creating and running my business...
Daring Yourself
I've always been a good planner... don't know where the planning gene came from exactly but I do know this. I like to get as much done in advance, understood in advance, communicated in advance of an event/experience/commitment as possible. So when I decided to...
Contain it
Instead of the perfunctory "Hi, how are you?" question (which drives me nuts and I do my best to avoid answering) I always recommend containing the question by just asking "Hi, how are you today?" It's such a different energy. You actually sound interested and...
Buying Time
I very rarely answer a question if I don't want to. Not straight out of the gate. There's a thought that says if you're asked a question you should answer it but my thinking is different. If I'm asked a question and I want to answer it, I will. If I don't,...

‘Why’ is such a small and yet impactful word to notice, to understand and to be aware of as you use it. Really, why? Well, it does two things very quickly, immediately in fact. Two things you want to avoid. One, it sends people straight to the...
Celebration
"So how are you going to celebrate Kay?" was the question which immediately made me stop in my tracks! I'd just told a client group how I'd finished a 6 month contract working with Board Directors and all sessions had to be scheduled and delivered by 31st March....
White Flag
When a client said it to me I knew exactly what she meant along the lines of "Sometimes Kay you just have to wave the white flag, surrender and give in to the moment rather than fight it or fight on..." I knew exactly what she meant and I'm sure you do too. There are...
Not Sorry
Hmmm, in the time I have had to dedicate to it this week my weekly eZine got pushed down the queue but one of the things I do know is I commit to writing to you each week and I appreciate the feedback I get and the practice it gives me to keep my writing muscle...
