New Job
Rest is recalibration
Rest is recalibration. Have you noticed the liberate in that word? It gifts you time. To be. To process. To reboot. To explore. It always surprises me how much more I can do after I have rested. It’s also taken me a long time to be able to put into words what is restful for […]
Writing for a funeral
If you give a speech and/or lead a funeral, which bits do you talk about? I’ve been thinking about this question a lot, and these are the parts I feel to question: do we speak from our values or do we speak from and about the things that that person valued? One thing I […]
Am I doing it right?
Am I doing it right? I had an interesting role a few years back consulting with a group who specialize in leadership development. One of the ways they implemented this was through ‘a day on the job’, where candidates would be in a simulation chamber, working in a role similar to or at one level […]
Acknowledge
We change when we acknowledge who we are. We change when we acknowledge where we are at. We change when we acknowledge the truth. “This is where I am. This is where I am going to go.” Take with us what we need and acknowledge and release the rest. Holding onto stuff is just […]
Amp it up
Amplification. The act or result of amplification; addition, expansion, depth & growth, increasing magnitude. When we are witnessed in something it is amplified.

Never before
Long long ago people didn’t spend much of their time pondering over how to improve their lives. It was generally believed that life was predestined. We know differently now. How much time do you spend thinking about how to help and improve other people’s lives? Meet you on the side of actioning…
Vehicle for change
A career-change client in the past week shared an interesting question – a question they were asked in their most recent interview was… if you could describe your personality and what you bring to the team, which car are you and why?… I attended a seminar about 7 years ago where the same question was […]
Chronic
I used to be a chronic nail biter. Except I can’t remember it. The action I mean; I can’t remember biting them. I’m not sure at what age it started but I do remember (sometime as a Primary School aged student) that yucky paint-on medicine stuff that attempted to dissuade one from having a […]
Theme of Legends
I did a recent survey of strangers as to who their legends are, and why. I did it because I’m interested to know if there are common themes in cultures as to who and what we currently value and respect. And what I discovered was that sportspeople, entertainers and a sparse few characters from history […]
United Friendly Society
I discovered this society on a recent walk in my area. You know when you have one of those strolls and find something completely new which you have already walked past 100 times, well it was one of those walks. So I’ve had a Google and this is what I’ve discovered… The United Friendly Society […]
