It has been a distracting week. I can back from leave on Monday and was still preoccupied with thoughts about the health of a member of my family. They are getting better, but I live and work the other side of the country and I am a natural worrier. I speak to them everyday soContinue reading “Sharing the Coaching Message”

Week off to re-charge
I had rather an eventful week last week, popping over the other side of the country to see a member of my family who was poorly. They are fine now, and I am certain it was more for my benefit than theirs. My mind is at rest, and I have now stopped letting my imaginationContinue reading “Week off to re-charge”
Back to The Books
After a 2 year gap(ish) I have gone back to studying. A correspondence course this time via Brighton School of Business and Management and the Chartered Management Institute. You guessed it, it is another coaching course. Over Christmas I was looking round for a coaching course that was the next level up, that would benefitContinue reading “Back to The Books”
My Journey To Becoming a Coach
Like many people I suffer occasionally from a version impostor syndrome. How dare I call myself a coach, what do I know. How dare I presume that I have the skills and knowledge to put myself into the lofty position of being someone’s coach. This was something we were talking about at my last coachingContinue reading “My Journey To Becoming a Coach”
Perhaps we should just get on with it?
I know some of my friends will be spitting their coffee over their phones reading this, but stick with me and let me explain what I mean. I have heard this phrase a lot over the years, often from the mouths of well meaning but exasperated friends and colleagues, it can often be replaced withContinue reading “Perhaps we should just get on with it?”
Please lets look for what unites us?
I normally avoid current affairs and politics on my blog, but I feel I need to write about what is happening in the UK right now. Every time I turn on the news, open my phone or computer, I am bombarded with anger, accusations, mistrust and disconnection, and worst of all I am drawn intoContinue reading “Please lets look for what unites us?”
I need a re-charge
What is really funny is that over the past couple of weeks I have been writing about and researching resilience, not noticing that I was becoming less and less resilient myself. For the 2 or 3 weeks now I have been running around tending to others needs and delivering content. Now I get a lotContinue reading “I need a re-charge”
How Do We Know if We Are Truly Resilient?
I have got a couple resilience projects on the go at work (in collaboration with some wonderful people) and this has peaked my interest in the subject and encouraged me to do a little bit of further reading around the subject. It has made me realise that my approach to coaching whether that be insideContinue reading “How Do We Know if We Are Truly Resilient?”
A Week of Compassion and Ethics
Before I start talking about what has happened to me this week, I would just like to share something that I am noticing about myself at the moment. My weeks seem to be going a lot faster at the moment. I know it is a very middle aged British thing to say. It must beContinue reading “A Week of Compassion and Ethics”
Is Spring in The Air?
What a fantastic morning it is this morning in East Yorkshire. After such a stormy few days, wondered to myself when I was taking the the dog out, is Spring in the air? The daffodils are blooming, there are buds on the trees, there is birdsong in the air and the sun is shining. ThereContinue reading “Is Spring in The Air?”
