Send us Fan Mail Passion. Meaningful. Fulfilling. Big words we apply to life, work, love… Big words with big meanings. High stakes. But the feelings we have – the passion, feelings of meaning, feelings of fulfilment do or don’t happen day-to-day. When we experience coaching, we start to consider life on a much longer trajectory and how the day-to-day impacts the years and the decades and life. You...

Send us Fan Mail After witnessing both the dark and the light side of coaching, and many social-media debates and heated commentary, ethics is an ongoing topic of conversation in any industry, especially in the unregulated industry that coaching is. Remember, ethics are subjective, so know yours. I know what I mean when I say ethical or unethical and you can think of something as ethical or unethi...

Send us Fan Mail Our ego requires us to feel special. For us to stand out from the crowd and feel like we are unique and different. Our ego serves us in the way of self-confidence, self-satisfaction and pride. It also dis-serves us with self-confidence, pride and self-satisfaction when that behaviour presents as exuberant, smugness or boastful. Our egos are funny things.  Learn how to use yours to...

We use the be-do-have model to explore what results you currently have and why, and link it back to your self-worth. If y...

Send us Fan Mail Awestruck. Wowed. Wonderment. Inspired. When did you last feel any of these? If you're like me, you'll know exactly  how that feels... and how long it's been since you've felt it. Because who wouldn't want to feel this every day? No matter what our age, our responsibilities or our geographic location. As we navigate the seasons of our lives, things we&apos...

Send us Fan Mail Emotions require transference. They are generated within us from our thinking - either from something that's happened external to us or by the way we're thinking about something or someone. Without taking the time to process or transfer these emotions, they will be stored within us and work to find their own way out of our system. Finding resourceful ways to process emot...

Send us Fan Mail Does your workplace have a culture of wanting to be paid more? Perhaps feeling under-appreciated? Not valued? Feeling special is a hard-wired human trait that if met by teams and organisations can pay in dividends. These dividends look like loyalty, hard-work, high performance and independent up-skilling. Rolling out an incentive scheme needs to be standardised, viable for the bus...

Send us Fan Mail Are you in the habit of proactively making decisions? At work or in life? Decisions move us forward because we either make progress or get the feedback we need. This feedback gives us what we need to make our next decision and this is how we move forward faster.  We feel disempowerment when we sit in evaluation mode for too long, or we ignore the decisions we should or could be ma...

Send us Fan Mail Behavioural profiling: a must in corporate teams to heighten awareness and enhance communication. Behavioural profiling can be used for good or evil. Some have chosen to weaponise it and use it to excuse their behaviour. Others have utilised it to help give context and understanding of themselves and others, and then taken it that step further to get better results. When trained a...

Send us Fan Mail Brain Farts?! Mental Lapses?! Two things cause us to have a mental lapse. One is when we're in a heightened state of emotion and we can't get our thoughts together... and two is when something happens that heightens our emotional state, and we can't get our thoughts together.  There is a very good reason our brains do this and if you're someone who leaves situa...

Send us Fan Mail Staying true to you is both challenging and rewarding. Holding strong and making decisions from a place of abundance is not often our natural inclination and affects areas of our entires lives - our bosses, our relationships, and other smaller things that may seem to lack in significance but amount to tiny erosions of the ways we honour (or dishonour) ourselves. We discuss the way...

Send us Fan Mail Your words and actions. Are they aligned? Do they match? Do you do what you say you'll do? Goal achievement requires emotional growth and development, it requires us to be something new, something different, something better. Otherwise we would already have achieved what we want to achieve. We discuss the importance of taking action, lessons from our future-self, and why sett...

By structuring our year differently and in a way we're all too familiar with if we attended conventional schooling...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes, we just need to do things we love to do. Not with the aim of being good at it, the best at it, or even better at it. Sometimes, we need to do things just for FUN! What's that?! Yes, fun!  When we do things we love, that make us feel connected and alive, we are happier, healthier and feel fulfilled.

Send us Fan Mail "What goal? Oh that thing... that thing I really want, but didn't achieve in 12 months so I gave up on it?" Yes... That. Ever wonder why we set goals we fail to achieve? Or why we're highly focused at the time we set the goal, but soon after we become disengaged. Why is that? There are many reasons and variables that influence our ability and desire to achieve...
