Feeling right………….
Photo by MARK ADRIANE on Unsplash Around six months ago, I was asked by a coach “what does success look like” and I thought this was a really cool way of asking myself about a project and make some sense out of the maze I was in. It really helped me look at the end destination…
Encouragements are priceless, don’t be stingy with them…..
Photo by Ian Schneider on Unsplash Yes, I am going to Mauritius! Not only for the sake of work, but also for something deeply personal. I lived in Mauritius for 5 years between when I was 8 and 13 years old. That’s when I was gifted with some of the most encouraging people on…
Thank you for visiting me, “resistance”, I appreciate that…………
Photo by Eugene Triguba on Unsplash As I sit down to write my daily blog into my second week, I can feel the “resistance” stirring…….. Heartbeat goes up, discomfort, fear of failure, that it might not be good enough, or people will laugh at it………….. And the temptation is to find some…
A little mental reprogramming before breakfast……

Photo by Edoardo Busti on Unsplash This morning I received a super inspirational voice mail from Peter my altMBA coach and current friend and teacher, in which he spoke about something which I had heard of before but never really hit me or lived. It’s about changing of posture to: “Acting as…
Generosity matters, and don’t forget to be generous to yourself……
Photo by Elaine Casap on Unsplash Now that I am following my own advice to “say no to almost everything”………I am finding that in the morning, I am not rushing to switch the phone to check this or that, look at my to do list. Or see who has answered my messages etc etc….. For…
