Are You Up-To-Date?
I’ve just returned from London after delivering some workshops and catching up with lots of people, some of whom I haven’t seen for several years. On the flight over I became aware that I was feeling quite anxious. I told myself "… it’s to be expected … you’re...
When Fear Comes To Town
Fear came to town this week in a very obvious way! A five-kilometre steel fence in the Sydney CBD a stark reminder that when fear is the pervasive paradigm, there are few choices but to manage, protect and defend. A false sense of security if ever there was one! The...
Just Say Yes!
Recently I became aware of an insidious habit I had developed from fear - specifically my need to control. Another old paradigm habit to let go of! It came to light when my mother, sister and niece came to stay recently. In their desire to help and support me while...
Are You Missing The Point?

Are You Pressure Sensitive?
A few weeks ago I was asked to get involved in a project with one of my long-term clients (for a new client of theirs). My immediate visceral response was “no” – not my thing really, not really what I do best but rather than simply get the message and respond, I chose...
You’ll Always Get What You Know You Will!
Whatever you think you want, whatever you think you are choosing, the reality is you will get exactly what you know you will, what you feel certain about. Not what you think most often about but what you feel most consistently about. Now you may think you are clear...
