My blog post today has not been written by me, but by a friend of mine. Remember how in my last blog, I invited you to share your experiences? Well, Alex wrote to me sharing how 'depression' has affected his life, and the strategies that he uses to get through when the "dark clouds are gathering". Here's Alex's story...... I first began my experiences with mental illness when I was around

Firstly, my apologies for the absence of a blog last week. Of course I could give my reasons for this, but as I tell my clients a 'reason' will only focus the brain on the instruction to keep you 'stuck' rather than building a strategy to move you forward.With that in mind it got me thinking more about strategies and how they support even the simplest aspects of our live. For instance, when you

I was doing a training in London the other week when someone asked me a question about all the unrest that is going on and that got me thinking about our behaviours and how we are coping with all this uncertainty.  When thinking of behaviours it also brings up for me 'personas'. We all have our 'persona', the 'act', that aspect of us that is the manager, the teacher, the parent and so on; It's

So here we are 10 years to the day from the terrifying and tragic events if 9/11. No doubt today there will be many postings and blogs about this, so I'm going to keep this quite short and sweet. I hope the suffering of the families and friends affected by that day has lessened and I trust the power and strength of the human spirit has pulled people through and continues to do so. I cannot even

As September approaches rapidly again and those who (like my partner) work in education, or are of school age, start to consider the months ahead and the day to day life of school. My school experience was not one I'd wish on anyone. As a creative, partially dyslexic child with a neurodysfunction for taking on information, school was tortuous - although at the time no-one would have diagnosed

The last couple of days I have been over in Spain watching The Vuelta, Tour of Spain, (cycle race, for the uninitiated), and it got me thinking about the strategies we employ in order to create amazing results. I'm not suggesting we all should be  professional cyclists, it's more about recognising that we do use some kind of strategies whether they work or not in our daily life. That got me

Change comes in many guises, and can be welcomed or not – however you choose to respond though, it’s not going to go away. Cursing at the rain and bad weather for spoiling your summer barby or someones wedding day, won't make them go away ! A suggestion is to embrace change whenever possible, and if it’s appropriate, see if you can look upon it as ‘a rest.’ These types of changes are

Just watched this very interesting TED Talks video. Psychologist Philip Zimbardo asks, "Why are boys struggling?" He shares some stats (lower graduation rates, greater worries about intimacy and relationships) and suggests a few reasons. See what you think? http://www.youtube.com/user/TEDtalksDirector#p/u/6/FMJgZ4s2E3w

For me a very ture and interesting article. Just shows what we are capable of without those 'bits of paper'.In the light of the riots and much talk of 'disaffected youths', I believe humans have amazing potential regardless of their qualifications.http://www.metro.co.uk/news/871757-sunday-times-rich-list-shows-most-british-tycoons-skipped-university

I'm moved to write about the shocking events of the last days in the UK - the rioting and looting.My good friend posted this on Facebook this morning;  A woman in her 90s called Nancy Wake died today - she was an amazing heroine of WW2 - who bravely worked for our freedom. Sadly in our freedom, we have created cowards who think they are so 'brave' terrorising our streets hiding behind 'hoods'

Soon I'll be making available 2 great ebooks "Taking Control of Your Life" and "Great Tips for Personal Development". I'm just putting the finishes touches to each of them. Take a read of the beginning of the intro for the latter book on Personal Development - I hope you enjoy it and it gives you a taste of things to come. ~ Why is it that we think we don’t have to continue our self

Here's a little excerpt from the beginning of one of my FREE ebooks soon to be available right here: “The trouble with the rat race is that, even if you win, you're still a rat”    ~ Lily Tomlin ~ There was a time, in the not-so-distant past, when families were expected to give up everything in order to achieve the financial security they craved. Perhaps you remember those decades,

Hi everyone, well it's been a while since I last wrote on my blog page; busy would be an understatement! I have been travelling and working with great clients, in Dubai, the Lebanon, Spain etc. and of course the UK. Here I am at Dubai airport, ready to go! What has come out of this work is that I have made  some lovely new contacts and created some very rewarding projects. I will be regularly

Wow! August to November - a long quiet time away from blogging. I have been doing some really exciting stuff all over the world since my last blog, one of those things is a new  WORLD RECORD! I now hold the record for greatest number of hops on broken glass, to add to the other two records I gained last year. Meeting Matthew Kelly, World Record Event, London

Take a look at this short video I created to introduce Andy Harrington and his "Power to Achieve" weekend event. This 3 day course is a great way to connect with your power, in terms of career, relationships, wealth and much more. I thoroughly recommend it! Not only that, I can also offer you discounted tickets for any of his upcoming PTA weekends. Watch the video for details or go to

Hello again, well I have just returned from an epic fortnight of work culminating in delivering a motivational session for Sefton Council's Headteachers. It was a great event! It's always a pleasure for me to share my experiences to give others a different view of things. We focused on how to create an effective work-life balance - rather than the work-life 'see-saw' we often become at the effect

Well summer is definitely here on the Coasta Blanca, it's been about 35º today! I'm just about to go out for a training run in Alicante. Even though I have been working on physical activities all day it's good to have a run to clear my head and also get a great sense of achievement. Maybe like you I often don't feel like doing something and the best way to get myself motivated is to remember the

Hi to all of those great people I met Friday June 18th in Lancaster. What a great event this was - Head and deputy headteachers having some time out to plan, think, get motivated and generally connect with their power within the great educational melting pot. I gave a motivational presentation about the Work-life balance and  received great feedback. I was of course delighted to hear this! - This

I was caught up in the Icleand volcano incident along with thousands of others, and life goes on....So one of the every exciting things I did later in April was the Elche half marathon.
