Listening, Legitimacy, Leadership and Life

To be honest, it has taken me a lot of time, reflection and angst to write this post. It comes from a very difficult work time (way back in the past) that I now generally feel at peace with,. However, it appears that I am not so at peace with it when I sit down…

Reflection Point: Moods and Emotions

My previous blog post, How Being Grateful Made a Difference, has triggered in me a huge reflection about moods and emotions that I have decided to share here.

Self-Development isn’t Always as Glamorous as it Looks

Sometimes, it all seemed too hard; as though I was wasting my time. Why would I ever be any different anyway? I have been like this for over 40 years. Who am I kidding, thinking I can change? What is going to happen when my coach finally realises that I am useless? And what kind…

How Overcoming Self Doubt Became a Possibility

We are continually in judgement. In our present, we use opinions that are based on our past to determine actions that create our future. We embody our opinions and they become the mould from which our responses (actions) are created. Our opinions therefore shape how we take action; that is, they provide the pre-understanding from…
