How many times have you watched a film only to realise that there is a hidden story? Usually a moral or a tip for life, just like Aesop’s fables. It’s often the case in films for children and animations like Disney. My friend and coach, Elaine Mitchell, mentioned this recently in a post on facebook:…
Read MoreAs the F1 season approaches we addicts can appease our cravings slightly with news from the pre-season tests. With just one remaining period of testing and the season itself kicking off in a couple of weeks time all the regular excitement and intrigue is starting to build. During the off season period what has…
Read MoreBefore you think it – No I’m not going to ask if your back end is stepping out! Instead I’m thinking about the amount of control you exercise in your life. Have you got the balance right? The clients I see tend to want oversteer but have understeer. Often they go about their day to…
Read MoreThis weekend I’ve watched the film Couples Retreat. It was very light weight and got me to thinking about the characteristics of different partnerships.

Read MoreI feel rather uncomfortable putting this out there but I’m trusting you to be gentle with me! You see I don’t have ‘grand’ or ‘noble’ goals and dreams. I don’t have a ‘big’ story. For some time now this has felt like a problem for me as all Life Coaches I’ve come across seem to…
Read MoreI’ve always loved reading. Any photos of me as a child tended to depict me with my nose in a book. Mum always said that Christmas for us was all about Dad and I reading our presents! That said, up until a couple of years ago, I only read novels. Recently though I’ve discovered…
Read MoreThis is a phrase that was repeated to me after Mike had been to see a motorbike he was interested in. It’s something that filled me with great sadness.
