  • Honouring the Blank Page

    I sat down today to write the article and found…nothing. Not an idea, not a theme, not a word, not an inspiration. No words. No expression. And, most interestingly (to me anyway), no angst, fear, stress or concern. Normally if I sit to write and find nothing, I go into a bit of a panic…

  • 6 Tips for Getting Into The Writing Flow

    You know sometimes you sit to write your blog post, or your book, or the article you’ve been promising yourself you’ll write…and nothing. No words. No ideas. No clue. Or a disjointed mess of half-formed ideas that get deleted as fast as they come onto the page. You could (and sometimes I do) give up…

  • Simplify and Make Time & Space For What’s Important

    I had a busy week last week – mostly social stuff not work stuff – and in the few hours I was able to work, I realized I needed to simplify my working days. Ordinarily it’s not a problem – I have time in the week to do all the complicated to-do’s…but when time is…

  • Be the Best Boss You Ever Had, Not the Worst

    Imagine for a moment working for somebody who doesn’t appreciate you (you probably don’t have to imagine it, you’ve probably experienced it). Somebody who, no matter how hard you work and how much you do, their reaction is “Meh”. Or “haven’t you done that yet?” A boss who even though you’ve worked over when you…

  • Do You Trust Yourself Enough To Do What You Want To Do

    Last year I read the fabulous “Only 10’s” by Mark Silverman – a book about only doing those things you really want to do, the things that are a 10 for you. It’s a book I buy for my clients often because it’s a fabulous barometer for what you really want in life – overall,…

  • Take the Time to Connect With Your Soul

    I didn’t know what to write today. I didn’t even know if I wanted to write. After I’d stopped distracting myself with other things on my to do list (a common tactic) and thought about it, a thought popped into my head (some people call them inspired ideas, some call them brain farts!!) Anyway, I…

  • What Would Life Be Like If You Backed Yourself 100%?

    When talking to clients so far this year, the subject of backing ourselves has come up time and again. So many of us just don’t – we second-guess ourselves, question our own abilities, our judgment, our decisions. But we have reasons we do (or don’t do) what we do (or don’t do)…and this second guessing…

  • My Word of the Year 2016…ALLOW

    This, it appears, will be the year to allow… For the last few years, my word of the year has chosen me. In the past, I chose a word – something like fun, abundance, creativity, joy…something I wanted to activate in my life. But in recent years, a word has jumped out at me –…

  • Celebrate 2015…and Merry Christmas!

    If I were to ask you what you have accomplished in 2015, what would you say? Would you proudly list all your achievements, large and small? Would you need to think for a moment, then give a few big things that you have accomplished? Or would you instantly say ‘nothing’? Many people will say ‘nothing’.…

  • Bewildered by all the Goal-Setting Tools? Find What Feels Good

    Social media feeds are full to the brim right now with goal setting stuff for the New Year…all claiming that without their system you will never succeed. Ugh. Ok, confession time, I will be one of them (Create and Live Your Vision is how I do my yearly planning) but one thing you can guarantee…
