The Gift of Listening

Skyros

When I sold my business in March 1997, I was persuaded by my aromatherapist and pal, Jane, that we should go to Skyros. So off we toddled in July. Have you ever been? Blimey what a schlep! You fly to Rome and stay overnight in a pretty basic hotel, then there’s an endless coach trip across Greece and finally a ferry. It’s this grisly travel which makes the Greek islands so special when you get there because most people haven’t got the time or the true grit to undertake such a journey, especially when tired and in need of a [...]

Why Don’t We Do What We Know To Do?

Simple Daisy

Gentle Reader, bear with me. I’m just thinking aloud on this one. I don’t know the answer and I’m hoping you do?   I’m sure we all do at some level and perhaps not too deeply buried at that. Last night I was pondering my day, going over in my mind the emails I had received from people wanting advice and support. And I noticed a bit of a theme linking them all.   It seemed to me that many of my correspondents already knew what to do, and in some instances it was even an easy thing to do. They just [...]

Today’s Inspiration Found: Michelle Obama

on 30/01/2012 4 Comments
Obama

Oh God, I hope this story is true!   A kind friend shared it with me, having found it on Facebook: One night President Obama and his wife Michelle decided to do something out of routine and go for a casual dinner at a restaurant that wasn’t too luxurious. When they were seated, the owner of the restaurant asked the President’s secret service if he could please speak to the First Lady in private. They obliged and Michelle had a conversation with the owner. Following this conversation President Obama asked Michelle “Why was he so interested in talking to you?” She [...]

My Inspirations for 2012: Bravery, Heroism, “Ordinariness” and Uncertainty

on 31/12/2011 2 Comments
New_Year's_Resolutions

At least five inspirational women have passed through my house since Christmas at my invitation. I am grateful that I know some of the wisest women in personal development and I asked them if they would like to do swaps, to help each other get clear on what we want for ourselves in 2012. Four of these were coaches of one sort or another. I scanned down the list of coaches I know (only about 150!) and hand-picked the brightest who – bliss – I also count as friends.   Lucky, lucky me. And the fifth was an old friend from the Seventies, [...]

A Pleasing Definition of Success by Coach Wooden

on 08/11/2011
john_wooden

Another bonus of my day out yesterday was being able to listen to Father Brian D’Arcy on Chris Evans’ radio show on BBCR2 in the morning in the little section towards the end called Pause for Thought. As I read somebody else say in the paper over the last few days, never mind two minutes silence on Remembrance Day, 11th November, how about a moment of silence every day? I couldn’t agree more and these little windows of opportunity to be thoughtful for a while are always welcome. Father Brian D’Arcy, a Catholic priest, was in charge of yesterday’s PFT [...]

Taking A Welcome Break And Making A Profit

on 08/11/2011
Birchanger Welcome Break

I drove up the M11 yesterday morning, to visit a client I’ve known and loved forever, but I’d never been to see her place of work before.  I don’t get out much these days in my peaceful gap year, and en route I passed the new Olympic Park and was totally, utterly amazed and delighted by it. It was an OMG moment as it loomed up at me, out of the fog. As I was running a bit early, I stopped at a service station to check my emails and use their loo.  When I came out of the loo, [...]

Hooray! I Can Walk On The Grass – At Last

on 03/11/2011

I was born a rebel. One of the strongest urges I feel all the time is to rebel. If I wanted to overcome that urge, and I don’t very often, I would have to either speak very sternly to myself, get angry, or just surrender to being normal like everyone else. Three not very nice choices. So usually I just rebel. Gentle Reader, I wish I could tell you I was proud of this. But I’m not; it’s just how it is round here. One of the expressions I use to explain how it feels to be me in this [...]

Why Is It So Hard To Say NO?

on 01/11/2011 1 Comment
No

Today is November 1st. And today I started a challenge. To write a book within a month. It’s a bit like NaNoWriMo, about which I’ve written before, except I’m not writing a novel. I’m writing a memoir, and along with my two writing colleagues, we are each committed to writing 1,000 words a day. I’ve been preparing the ground for a while now, i.e. thinking about it and writing notes, downloading something called Scrivener. Yesterday I looked at my diary for November to work out what was going to get in my way. I have whole-day commitments on 4th, 7th and 11th [...]

How To Tell Someone You Love Them In Three Little Words

on 01/11/2011 2 Comments
Feedback

When I was going through my first career change from accountant to coach, my elders encouraged me to ask ten people who knew me really well to send me a description of myself in three words. The name of the game here is to help you come to know your authentic self as it is appreciated by those around you, so that you can market to those strengths. One of my favourites at the time, from someone who had known me as a friend for at least two decades, was razor sharp and blunt. Witty, well written and spot on. [...]

Synchroncity: It’s A Sign

on 31/10/2011 1 Comment
The Help

My experience when coaching people is that magic happens once we nail our colours to the mast and say out loud to ourselves and to The Universe what we want.   Lots of lovely little synchronicities – and sometimes quite big ones too – start to come together and even the tiniest little thing can be A Sign. I received one such sign myself yesterday. We went to see The Help. Don’t miss it. I cried like a leaky bucket all the way through. Delicious. Actually I started crying in the trailer for Spielberg’s version of War Horse even before we got going [...]
