This week has seen my second week learning to juggle being a Teacher Practitioner and Coaching Lead. I wouldn’t say it is any easier, in fact it may actually be getting harder, however as I relax, I am enjoying the challenge more each day. So after a busy weekend taking in the latest projections onContinue reading “Coaching Conversations, and Christmas Jumpers”

Don’t let Insta-Christmas get in the way of Christmas
For many of us Christmas is a wonderful time of year. But it can be incredibly stressful, trying to create that perfect Christmas experience. We are constantly shown on social media and the TV how to celebrate the perfect Christmas including the perfect tree, decorations, food, drink and gifts just to list a few. WeContinue reading “Don’t let Insta-Christmas get in the way of Christmas”
My Album of The Year
As you all know from my blogs music plays an important part in my life. I take music with me wherever I go. Whether that be on my run, on the way to work, in my office and in the seminar rooms just before teaching. Music can provide a narrative to what is going onContinue reading “My Album of The Year”
What does coaching offer?
Before I trained to be a coach I had no idea what a coach was outside of sports coaching. I am not surprised then that most people really don’t have a clue what coaching really is. As I have coached more and more I find it easier to articulate what coaching is, and what itContinue reading “What does coaching offer?”
Feeling a bit meh?

From a health and fitness point of view nothing seems to be working fast enough for me this week. I am not really losing any weight and I don’t feel any fitter really. AsContinue reading “Feeling a bit meh?”

For me this has been especially acute as I travel through middle age, and parts of your body don’t seem to work as well as they used to. It doesn’tContinue reading “Have a compelling reason to change”
Are you satisfied with your life
From time to time I feel dissatisfied with my life. I feel I should be more than I am, that I do not live up to my potential. I should have a higher paid job, I should be living in a big house, driving a fancy car, going on exotic holidays. I should be moreContinue reading “Are you satisfied with your life”
Live in the moment and enjoy your journey through life
Many of you will have realised by now that I use this blog as some kind of therapy, to remind myself how to be to keep myself on an even keel. With that in mind I thought I would talk about the day I have had today. It has been a good day, bordering onContinue reading “Live in the moment and enjoy your journey through life”
Be Your Perfect Leader
On Monday I facilitated a timeout morning for a group of senior ward Nurses. The subject soon got onto leadership. The discussion centred on how to encourage leadership in the team, to enable staff members to actively seek solutions rather than default to the ward manager, deputy manager or unit co-ordinator, and how to manageContinue reading “Be Your Perfect Leader”
