It’s no secret that I lean more toward being a night owl. In fact, I’ve spent years convinced that I should wait for my late night second wind to get my best work done. Hence I’ve spent a few decades working and studying while the house sleeps, often awake into the wee hours of the […]
Why language is more important than you realise
When people first come to me for coaching they’re often feeling like a passenger in their own life journey.

Busy! What to do when you have more to do than time to do it.
We’ve all had one of those days. Washing is piled high and it’s pouring with rain outside. The kids have parties and you promised to bake cupcakes.
