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?
Well that title sort of sums up my week really. Not exactly miserable, but not motivated enough really to do anything. 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?”
Is social media getting you down?
Social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are wonderful, for sharing what you are doing with your friends, connecting with customers and keeping in contact with friends and family far afield. If we are doing something exciting or different we love to put a picture on to let everyone know what that we areContinue reading “Is social media getting you down?”
Do you get your excuses in early
Before I gave up smoking, I used to tell myself I had an addictive personality, that is why I can't give up.Does that sound familiar, in fact I heard it today. It is just an excuse, because we don't believe we can achieve.The person today is incredibly talented, intelligent, professional and driven, but they areContinue reading “Do you get your excuses in early”
Have a compelling reason to change
At some point in our lives I suppose we all decide to change something in our life that we think is unhealthy, or limiting us. 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”

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”

Free Coaching
How often does someone truly listen to what you have to say? We all need to be listened to without having someone else’s opinion imposed on your thoughts. A coach such as myself will listen to what you have to say on your terms in confidence. A coach such as myself will help you putContinue reading “Free Coaching”
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”
