Tell Me What You Mean
Communication literally means to share – thoughts, feelings, facts, information etc. Yet it is not sufficient or effective to share only the surface stuff without being explicit and clear about what you actually mean.
The Truth, The Whole Truth And Nothing But The Truth
You are probably familiar with this statement. It has been part of our modern legal process and seems to indicate that when agreed to, that’s what will happen. Not so. In my world (and paradigm of unlimited cause), everybody lies and there is no such thing as absolute...
You Always Have a Choice
Ever feel like you don’t have a choice? And there is the rub ... feeling like you don’t have a choice doesn’t mean it’s true that you don’t have a choice. What’s true is you FEEL you don’t have choice ... it’s a feeling not a fact. Feeling like you don’t have a choice...
Let It Go
Another year has dawned and with it comes the perfect time to write a new chapter for yourself and your life. So who will you BE and what will you choose this year? If you find this question exciting and inspiring ... a chance to dream big and choose boldly ... go for...

Shoulding all over yourself and others is a guaranteed strategy to stop you getting the outcome you want in your communication and relationships. Every time you find yourself thinking: “I shouldn’t have to tell that person ... how I feel; what I expect; what I need...

As a child, I was told that it’s better to give than to receive and at the same time I was also told I must be grateful and thankful when given to ... no matter how I felt about the “gift” or the giver. The resultant confusion stemming from this childhood conditioning...
