What does it mean to be a genuine person? This is the conversation I started last week in my musings. None of us want to be around phony people who present a false front to the world or who don’t live with integrity. It is all relative of course because how you perceive someone and…
An opportunity for self development?
What has changed for you in this strange DC world in which we are living? That seems like a very odd question indeed as I imagine that pretty much everything has changed. But as usual, questions are simply starting points to a little self exploration. More than ever, this is a time for questioning all…
Scarcity or contentment mindset?
Last week I posed the question: what direction are your thoughts taking you in? Towards the best version of yourself, or away? And what if those thoughts were taking you deeper into a scarcity mindset? How often over this past week have you found yourself grumbling about something and getting swept along on a thought…
The gift that keeps on giving….
What are some of the side benefits of decluttering? That might seem like an odd question, or certainly an obvious one. We clear away clutter, sort, order and tidy. The results of that are obvious: clearer surfaces more space less stuff to sort through when we are looking for something greater efficiency when putting things…
What we model to the next generation matters
Over these past few weeks I have been musing here on a series of character traits that I believe are important that we model to the next generation. This all started from this marvelous quote from Carol B Hillman, a professor of childhood education: One of the most important things we can do for young…
What kind of person do you model?
When you were a kid, what did you want to do? Become an astronaut? A rockstar? Travel the world? Make a fortune? But perhaps more importantly, who did you want to be? And who was a good role model to you? I doubt if there was as much focus at school on your character development…
Finding the right path in life
Finding the right path in life. How does one go about doing that? What is the right path for me? How do I find the start of it? How do I even know if I am on it? And what on earth does it all mean anyway? What is the path that you find yourself…
How do I make the most of my time?
Do you realise that we are two thirds through 2018? Only one third of the year to go. What a thought. And if that had not occurred to you, and it has now because I have mentioned it – – sorry. How did you start out at the beginning of the year? And what would…
Reconnecting with some dormant creativity – joining up the dots
Joining up the dots. That is often how I describe part of what I do as a life coach – listening to other people’s stories, experiences, skills, values, and enabling them to see how the dots join up to create a fuller and more beautiful picture of who they truly are. I have been aware…
Choosing to tend to our roots
Why are we so slow to learn? Maybe it’s just me, but I suspect not. I recently asked a wonderful group of sparkly women at an event at which I was speaking – What do you need? What is most important to you? These are questions I often ask clients. When we take the time…
