This weekend I attended a workshop about improving your mentality and the one point that has really stuck in my mind is the idea of evaluating our success.

So it was a surprise at how much it affected me. Somewhere inside a whole barrel of sadness I wasn’t aware … Continue reading The eight steps to letting go
Taking care of yourself by taking the hard conversations
In my experience no-one enjoys conflict. Yet sometimes life throws it at you and although your instinct may be to avoid a confrontation, eventually we have to deal with it.

What to do when you struggle to ask for the social support you need?
No man is an island, so the saying goes. (I supposed if we are being politically correct it should be amended to no human is an island.) And it’s true. We are built to work in communities. Each person on the team contributing with their own skill set to make the whole stronger, more effective … Continue reading What to do when you struggle to ask for the social support you need?
The secret inspiration for committing to action – Mondays!
Happy 2018! I love the new year don’t you? For me January brings with it the inspiration for possibility.

So people say that Christmas is a time for children. And as a busy adult trying to juggle work, buying gifts, our economy, making sure we have the house ready for guests and have the batteries for the toys that are never included and always needed on Christmas day, it can be very easy to … Continue reading Invite your inner child for Christmas
