    Gaining insights from your journal writing

    20th January 2023 / Comments Off on Gaining insights from your journal writing

    If you have ever kept a journal you will know that it can provide a rare space in your life where you can just ‘be’, away from all the noise and distraction of daily life (and the influence of others!) Within the pages of your journal you can be open and honest about how you are feeling, entertain your latest creative ideas, explore new directions for your business or career, and work through your problems.  It is the most attentive listener and will never wade in and try to persuade, advise, or judge you.  Combined with coaching, and talking things over with people in my support network, I have found…

    13th December 2022 / Comments Off on Acknowledge your wins and celebrate them!

    Here we are at the end of another year! Before you start thinking about New Year’s resolutions or goal setting, take a moment to look back, reflect on how this year has been and consider what you are taking away from it.  In the process of doing this, it is important to recognise the successes you have had, to acknowledge the effort and positive decisions you have made, to take the time to give yourself a well-earned pat on the back, and express gratitude to those who have supported you along the way.  Read on to find out why you should make a habit of celebrating your wins, not just…

    12th January 2021 / Comments Off on Kickstart your yearly review and find your focus for the year ahead

    After reluctantly emerging from my Christmas cocoon, and finding out that another lengthy period of lockdown loomed ahead, I made the decision to pause and take stock of the last 12 months. I wanted to extract any useful ‘life lessons’ that I could from what was such a challenging time (for many different reasons), to ponder ‘What next?’ and start the year with renewed focus and something positive to work towards as lockdown continued. If, like me, you love putting pen to paper and taking time out to journal (or just really want to give it a try) then I have packed this post full of questions that will prompt…

    Pause, Reflect, and Discover… What can you learn from lockdown?

    11th June 2020 / Comments Off on Pause, Reflect, and Discover… What can you learn from lockdown?

    As we take tentative steps towards opening up our businesses and communities, as well as making our own personal emergence from lockdown, there will undoubtedly be a mixed bag of feelings and a whole range of different experiences. Maybe you have actually relished the time to pause or perhaps there was no time to pause at all and you were busier than ever. You might have had to spend time recovering from the virus or have endured a long period of isolation to shield yourself and other family members from it. Maybe you have been going through immense heartache and have been grieving over the loss of loved ones, or…
