Do you need extra time for that?
One of my favourite things when working with clients is to use the Zoom share screen tool to view and discuss a client’s upcoming week. I ask a whole bunch of questions and sometimes they sound basic but often these are the ones that tap into the most useful lessons. Recently with one client, I […]
What to do with all those notebooks that are full of ideas?
Do you take notes? During meetings? During client calls? During presentations? During courses? When making appointments? Maybe you doodle while speaking with friends and family? And what do you do with those notes afterwards? During a session recently, a client of mine laughed that she has many ‘Maybe Never Do Notebooks’. They give her anxiety […]
How to prioritise where to spend your money

I’ve found it very therapeutic and relaxing over the last few months. The other day I spilled one of the crystal packets all over […]
Three tips to keep you going
Choice overload is a real thing. I feel it. My clients feel it. My friends and family feel it. Modern-day society offers us soooo much choice that deciding what to turn our attention to and in what order, is a task in itself. As an aside: Thanks for reading this blog post as I know […]
