The feeling is amazing! You’ve made the plan. Then, you’ve taken action. Finally, you have what you set out to achieve. There is that immense sense of satisfaction. A well-formed plan realised with results to enjoy. Most of us, if not all of us, have experienced this at some point in our lives. Hopefully, at […]
A large part of the work that I do is all about supporting you to work out what you want in your life. It’s then about you making plans, setting goals, to make it happen. And of course, without action, nothing changes. The aim, your aim, is to move from where you are to where
It very easy to get caught up in the stuff of life. Work, family, friends, weekends, the latest Netflix series… the list goes on. It all fills our time, seemingly giving us direction and purpose. We’re busy and life feels good. And that’s great. Indeed, that’s more than great if what we’re doing is really
I met someone recently who’s life had taken a steep downward turn. A couple of poor decisions had spiralled out of control, leaving him with next to nothing. He was angry. Very angry.

Some years ago, I began to realise that I had an ever-diminishing amount of time left with my parents. It was a sobering realisation. I don’t know about you but I sort of felt that my parents would go on forever. Obviously, on many levels I knew that it was not the case. The thought,
I think that most of know when we’re feeling motivated. Suddenly, we have the energy and focus to make it happen. Obstacles seem less challenging, and we find ways to overcome the barriers. Progress adds to the sense of achievement. We have that overwhelming sense of being able to do it. Conversely, when we lack
There’s a lot of stuff out there about self-improvement. Similarly, there’s loads about finding yourself, and discovering the real you. And it all sort of makes sense. If you don’t know what really matters to you, what you really want from all that life can offer, how on earth can you set about making it
I remember some years ago talking with a colleague. She was genuinely excellent at her job. Indeed, she was someone that I really respected. I was, therefore, somewhat surprised when she talked about fearing being found out. She explained that she often felt she was one step away from people realising that she was not,
