So I have a confession-  no new ideas…nothing new… as I have been in a much more reflective space where I have been valuing other people’s voices rather than my own.  Shock! I hear you cry-  but I have been writing a research paper recently and suddenly a lot of things are making much moreContinue reading “Freedom (I won’t let you down)”

The ‘Who am I?’ series is all about trust, because I believe it’s not one-sided and building a resilient team at work is as much about how we treat others as it is about how we behave ourselves: the old proverb, ‘treat others how you’d like to be treated’ springs to mind. This sounds commonContinue reading “‘Walk on, Walk on’ (You’ll never walk alone)”

The current lockdown has taken me back to the 1990’s I can’t remember which year, (1997 maybe?). I’d be about 20, I was at university and I had discovered the clubbing scene.  It was a place that time had forgotten, until the birth of virtual parties online satisfying the extroversion I thrive on here inContinue reading “People hold on (don’t do yourself wrong)”

I was midway through my ‘What am I? series when COVID19 began to really affect the UK and it has taken me a while to find the words to say to this crisis we are facing. I feel so terribly sad for the people who have lost loved ones; lost jobs; struggling to get workContinue reading “Some say, ‘love (it is a river)’”

Had a great time interviewing Rick and seeing how much he had grown as a business person during the last 15 years. In part 2 he tells me all about his influencers – I have learnt so much for my own journey… thank you so much for your time Rick.

The ‘What am I?’ series is all about being the ‘authentic you’ because I don’t know about you but I LIKE ME and I don’t want to be anyone else. I admit I can be like marmite, however what I have found is that I am mainly marmite when I am trying to be somethingContinue reading “True Colours (are beautiful like a rainbow)”

It has been a busy and soul searching few weeks. I came across an organisation recently who used the acronym ‘love’ to mean living our values everyday. I also this week, heard Bon jovi’s anthem (cited above) again; discovered clear is kind, unclear is unkind (thank you Brené Brown), read a bit of Minda Harts’Continue reading “You give ‘love’ a bad name”

By Steve Browne If someone saw you at the beginning of your typical work day, what would they see? Are you looking forward to the day ahead, or is there a sense of dread that something will inevitably go sideways? If people were honest, I think they face some sense of dread because they envisionContinue reading “People are People”

In part 1 of this post, I introduced you to the two modes of mind, doing and being. We also looked at an example of how we can get stuck in unhelpful patterns of thinking, revisiting an experience we have had and allowing this to dominate our thinking, and how this can affect our moodContinue reading “Waltzing Along- Part 2”

If I asked you the question “What is mindfulness?”, what would your answer be? When I ask this question at the start of courses that I run the answers I get are usually variations around a theme, and that theme is paying attention to what is going on in the present moment. This is somethingContinue reading “Waltzing Along- Part 1”
