I love airports. They are the perfect cross-section of humanity. Everyone is here. From the FIFO worker on his way home, right through to the family who is going on the much anticipated holiday. Work and pleasure, happiness and sadness, lone travellers and huge packs of them. I am sitting here at Sydney International…
Read MoreAngry does not even come close!!
It is 4.22 on Monday morning and I am awake. I have slept fitfully all night because of my disturbed mind and have officially given up trying to rest. Whenever I work with a coaching client who is experiencing disturbed sleep one of the strategies I discuss with them is to write down what is…
Read MoreThe Law of Reciprocity
I was in the Sydney CBD a few weeks ago waiting for my friend. It was Friday afternoon and I was meeting him at the Town Hall so we could look at the shops for an hour before heading home. The streets were busy with a kaleidoscope of humanity – people rushing here and there,…
Read MoreGivers need to know when to stop giving
We all know that one person. The person who happily rocks up to the party and doesn’t bring a thing EVER. The person who will call and offload all their problems to you but is never available in your moment of need. The person who always wants to be picked up (even expects it) but…
Read MoreWe all have a story
This morning I was at one of my favourite West Australian beaches, City Beach. This beach has crystal clear water and white sand and is very popular with the locals. After my swim I parked myself up on the grass and spent the next hour watching the world go by. It was blissful! I was…
Read MoreFour things you want to know about yourself to create massive change
So you want things to be different. You have had enough of the status quo. You look back and realise that you have been living the same year over and over again: nothing seems to ever really change and you feel frustrated and disillusioned. What if there were some key pieces of information that, once…
Read MoreJuicy January
Today is Day 14 of my Juicy January Juice Fast: the final day of a two week “Temple Cleanse” as I like to call it. The old Temple (my body) has had a thrashing since I landed in France in September last year for a family holiday. It was a total food and wine fest…
Read MoreYour Greatest Strength
We are all born with a set of strengths. These strengths sometimes come to us so naturally that we don’t recognise them as strengths, or perhaps we don’t credit them as strengths. Some people are naturally good at communicating – they have no particular education or training around communication yet they have a real talent…
Read MoreBeing versus Doing
I believe that one of my greatest strengths is that I am good at getting things done. I am definitely a doer – I love a good list, and I have a paper diary where I can track all sorts of things from tasks to be done to the days that I exercise.…
Read MoreAre you ready for an exceptional year?
Unbelievably, here we are at the start of another year! It felt like the year moved at lightening pace and compared to 2016, it was a much happier and brighter year for many people. I always like the new year because it’s the perfect time for reflection and contemplation. How was the year that passed…
