Hi All, Just a quickie this week, based on a conversation with a friend who shared that what she had experienced about something was so totally different from what I had experienced it made me stop and think: which is always a good thing. The circumstances are...

Not a lot to say this week. Just a short reflection on the profound impact that truthfulness has on our lives, and the consequences created when we are not truthful. 96 people died and 766 were injured on the 15th April 1989, making the Hillsborough football disaster...

Hi Everyone, One of the things that has caught my attention over the past couple of weeks is around the issue of trust, or rather the lack of it! I'm finding trusting what anyone says in the build up to the UK EU referendum tricky, but now we also have the whole 'rich...

Hi Everyone, I've been doing a lot of one of the things I love best recently: coaching. And some of those coaching conversations have reminded me of the interesting reality that many of us are wired to most easily recall when things have gone wrong, rather than when...

Hi Everyone, Hope you had a great holiday time. Good to be here the other side of all that eating!! And also for me good to be the other side of New Year (picture from thegaurdian.com). It's not an occasion I like (is it OK to say that out loud?). As well as the...

Hi Everyone, Today I watched Major Tim Peake, the first British man (but second Brit!!), head in to space (photo from AP Photo/Dmitry Lovetsky). What a year he's had! At this time of year I find myself being quite reflective, taking time to celebrate what's been great...
