Sit down. Breathe. Write. Repeat...Bridge Burning
“Don’t burn bridges. The person you throw under the bus today could be driving it tomorrow.” ~ Glenn Shepard It might just be Spring, it could also be the end of Q1 and here we are in Q2 but many of my clients are thinking about - or acting upon - moving roles....
All Things Considered
Limboland was the name of a popular tour by the comedian Bill Bailey a few years back. He's one of my favourite stand up comedians combining sharp, clever wit with music, musings (and without that cutting/biting kind of humour). He also won Strictly...
It can make all the difference
This week I've been here, there and everywhere it seems - all without leaving our home or changing out of my slippers! Hosting 3 different calls with mentoring groups in my evenings this week, as well as speaking to over 100 loss adjustors on one of the...

Preparing for my first Clubhouse Room Event (see the PS if you haven't heard of or downloaded Clubhouse yet) I realised this was a trait I used to have. Being paralysed by needing to be perfect. The Clubhouse Room I'm hosting on Monday next, 22nd...
Ask Yourself This Next Time…
What do you and I have in common with Oprah, Madonna, Warren Buffett, Michelle Obama and any other successful person you care to mention? We all have the same 24 hours in any one day and we never know how many of those we all have, long-term. What...
