No Failure

Many years ago, I became an NLP practitioner and trainer. It stands for neurolinguistic programming. Fancy name and fundamentally it’s training on how the brain, mind and body work to manage ourselves to get the results we want. Robert Dilts was one of the founders of NLP, and I was lucky enough to train with […]

A Bit Of Wisdom To Think About Today

A bit of wisdom to think about today. I love to master ‘things’. I work with the premise that total immersion is the only way if I want to get good at something. So I will read a book multiple times, watch a video or an online course. Ask for advice, and all the while, […]

Flo And Over Thinking

Yesterday I was reminded of two things. Unbelievably, it was eight months to the day since we said goodbye to our beloved Flo, who passed over the rainbow bridge. She was a Staffordshire Bull Terrier who had lived life to the full until her last two years due to health challenges. As I reflected on […]

Judy Garland Was A Legend In The Film And Entertainment World

Judy Garland was a legend in the film and entertainment world. She also wasn’t exactly your ‘run of the mill’ actress at the time. She became successful by being her own person. Here is one of my favourite quotes of hers and one I haven’t always followed in my younger days. It would be far […]

Change Comes From Learning

Change comes from learning. Starting a business in a recession may seem like madness to some and an exciting adventure to others. Back in 2008 my partner and I set up a business in a market that we had experienced only as a client with 2 exceptions. It was a market where we had identified […]

The primitive part of our brain serves us well in many ways as it keeps our life support systems working, and I am immensely grateful for that. It also wants to keep us safe, which on the one hand, makes sense; however, it often means that we fall into our comfort zone and because this […]

Madeline Albright

Over the weekend, I saw a post from Billie Jean King. She shared that on the day in question, Madeleine k Albright became the first woman appointed to the Secretary of State cabinet position in 1997. The U.S. has had 71 Secretaries of State, with just 3 being women, Madeleine Albright, Condoleezza Rice, & Hillary […]

Belief Change Our Biggest Limiting Belief

Ed Mylett is a leading peak performance expert who has worked in the financial world for many years and built several companies. He is ranked in the top 50 wealthiest under 50s in the world. I noticed this post that he recently shared on LinkedIn, and it struck a chord. As a business owner, you […]

Interested or Committed And Why Nothing Is Changing For You

It’s been a pretty hectic month, both personally and in our business. I’ve had the high of celebrating my loved one’s birthday with a weekend away and our first visit to the theatre in over two years. We have launched my new coaching brand…which is how you have come to be here. I also paid […]

Business Owners and Ruts – It Is A Thing

Business owners and ruts; it’s a thing. Last night, I listened to Mel Robbins talk about being stuck and how it’s a calling to something else. Something to be embraced. A new opportunity to move to the next step. A thought that on the surface might be ‘negative’ and yet brings with it opportunity. When […]
