I’m not sure if you are feeling this but the main topic of conversation with leaders in the coaching room and, many other friends around me is, that they have ‘hit the wall’ energy-wise. They are ready for 2020 to be done. Unsurprising, given the year we…
Feeling mentally murky or mentally brilliant?
With the ending of mental health month in October and the year we’ve all had, many leaders inside and outside the coaching room have been saying that we need better support for our mental health. With the restrictions on our lives set to continue, I…
Boundaries Baby
Are you suffering from work-from-home burnout? You’re not alone. “It’s not really working from home anymore, is it? It’s living at work.” This quote was sent to me by a dear friend and ex-client and it quite poignantly sums up what I have been hearing from leaders…

Personal Growth: When a moment of clarity hits you like a ton of bricks
I’m coming to you after a monster month filled both with inspiring work and interesting life lessons. I have been meaning to write something to you all for a while. My thoughts have been percolating on what to write but I haven’t felt the inspiration…
Are you stuck in a rut and it’s time to make some changes?
This month I want to talk about transitions as it’s coming up both in my life and with those around me. There seems to be this point, in everyone’s lives that we get stuck in a rut and no amount of thinking, strategizing and doing…
Are you future ready?
In the last couple of weeks, I have been writing about some of the components of the winter season. A time of retreating and reflecting and also, a time of ‘finishing’ things to make way for new things that the future may hold… For some,…
