What are the benefits of life coaching and why is it something that you should consider? As I celebrate 10 years as a Life Coach, I would love this to be the year YOU experience the benefits of life coaching for yourself. Get in touch for your free taster, or read on to find out…
Celebrating milestones
How is your year going so far? Are you celebrating milestones of any size or shape? For me, this is a significant year as it marks 10 years as a life coach. I am chuffed about this, to say the least. I am not sure that 10 years ago I had any idea of how…
And so it begins again
Hello and a very happy new year to you! How was your festive season? I hope that you and yours had some time to stop, enjoy space and simple things, rest and celebrate. I am sorry if the season was a tough one for you. I hope that in these coming days there is some…
“Yes but…” – discounting the positive
How often have you replied to a compliment from someone with these words: “Yes but…” Yes but… “…they were only being kind.” “…she just said it because she felt sorry for me.” “…it was nothing I did really, lots of other people did far more work than me.” …
How good is your mind reading?

On ending well
It’s the end of the world as we know it. If you are of a certain age, chances are that that REM song is now running around in your head like the annoying wee ear worm it will turn out to be… Sorry about that. And it’s not the end of the world you’ll be…
On noticing and choosing a different response
What are you noticing this week? About yourself, about how you think, about patterns in your life? This theme of noticing, and the idea of benevolent detachment (see my last musings here) seems to have really struck a chord. Part of the reason I believe detachment is so important in our lives is it provides…
New free gift!
How aware are you of how you use your time? What does your time use say about what you value most? Challenging openers perhaps this week. And where does the free gift come in? (quick answer – here) Recently I have been musing here about what we put into our lives, the power we have…
