Leading a values based life (understanding shame and vulnerability)

Leading a Value’s Based Life (an antidote to a shitty few weeks)
The past few weeks have tough. I cannot put my finger on one thing, there is just a lot of noise in the system at work and outside of work that is conspiring to narrow my bandwidth. Talking to people over the past few weeks it is not just me that is feeling this wayContinue reading “Leading a Value’s Based Life (an antidote to a shitty few weeks)”
It’s been a while
For me writing a blog was always a way to work through my thoughts and feelings. It has always been a way to manage my well-being. It has however always been a two edged sword.

My youngest pointed out to me that time inevitably feels like it is going faster when you get older. The longer time you spend alive the shorter the perception of what time is.Continue reading “First Blog of 2025”
Address the context not the behaviour
There is a lot of focus on poor behaviours from all angles (colleagues, customers, patients, general public). It feels especially a problem since the pandemic. Wherever you look there is divisiveness…”you are either on our side or against us” attitude appears to prevail. We all blame different groups for these behaviours, the right wing, theContinue reading “Address the context not the behaviour”
Reflections
I was up ridiculously early this morning. At 5:30am I was laying in bed wide awake, with the all the activity of the past week playing out in my head. Everything I managed to achieve, all what I didn’t get done, and most importantly all the things I could have done better. The usual whenContinue reading “Reflections”
