I’d like to offer you something a little different this week. Instead of hearing words of inspiration from me you’ll get to hear them from twenty different people! I cast the net around for some lesser known \’quotes to inspire\’ that would not be out of place in the reference […]
This Blog, as I trust loyal readers will know, is for people who want to live their best lives. It aims to inspire and to offer new insights on life, living with purpose and experiencing peace and joy. Recent events, highlighted by – but certainly not limited to – the
The inspiration for this article comes from one of our trainee life coaches who posted a question on our Forum about how to deal with a client of his who was struggling to make changes in her life … and who claimed to be suffering from a mental illness. Let
One of the most simple yet powerfully liberating realisations that can come from life coaching is when we appreciate that we can take almost total control of our own lives … if we want to. I say “if we want to” because, for many people, a seemingly more convenient approach

Very simply put, your personal values are those things that you value or judge to be important in life. This includes principles, ideals, standards of behaviour and ways of doing things that you believe should be upheld or adhered to.

We have been conditioned into seeing the positives and negatives of life as incompatible, as good and bad or even good and evil. In this post we explore how positive and negative are fundamental to everything that exists, complementary aspects of a perfectly balanced life. [box type=\”shadow\”]“When we focus and

It’s interesting how the mindsets of people who, on the face of it, appear equally capable, can be so different. Some are what we would call empowered, in other words confident in their ability, in control of their life and willing to take on life’s challenges. Others are disempowered, in
Most life coaches that I know choose to work from home as it makes sense from both a practical and financial perspective. It is true that there are relatively few traditional employment opportunities for life coaches and some would say this is what drives them to set up their own

This week, I would like to demonstrate the power of life coaching – when administered by a passionate and caring coach – to transform lives. I am privileged to have received an inspiring and beautiful account from a lady who, just yesterday, we featured on our Facebook page for having

Today I’d like to share with you a very powerful tool that we use to great effect in the New Insights Life Coaching System. As you no doubt know, life coaching is all about building better futures for people and we do that through showing clients how to overcome a

When we launched New Insights Africa in 2007 and rebranded New Insights UK when the two businesses were brought together in 2012, we introduced three words which represent the aspiration we have for people who are exposed to our training and our coaching system: FREEDOM – CONFIDENCE – GROWTH Personal
There are good reasons for the title of this week’s post as you will see shortly. But let me make a blatant admission right up front. One of the reasons was to see what effect it might have on the email ‘open rates’. The percentage of subscribers to this Blog
Sometimes life seems patently unfair, doesn’t it. It seems that, out of the blue things can happen that you feel you just don’t deserve. A string of unfortunate events can make you feel that life has ‘got it in for you.’ There’s no question that life is full of challenges

For most of us, making a career choice is one of the most profound yet difficult decisions that we experience in life. First off, it’s a decision that the majority of us first need to make early on in our lives when we are still in – or just out
My thanks go to everyone who commented on the ‘Dream Big’ post written while on holiday in China – and to those trainees and coaches who put up with slight delays in support over the past two weeks or so. Now it\’s back to business as usual again … except

Posting while on holiday was not part of the plan … but I am excited to share with you my experience of Beijing thus far as I feel it has relevance in this Blog on human motivation. Let me start by being completely honest with you. China is not a
Life coaching, when done professionally, by practitioners who are well trained and properly equipped, is remarkably effective in transforming lives because it works from within. That message seems to be reaching more and more people nowadays. With increasing regularity, I find myself receiving enquiries from people asking how they should

The fascinating thing about the field of human motivation is that the more you study it the more you appreciate how science and spirituality are ultimately converging on the same amazing conclusions regarding our ability to create our own reality. That’s not to say that scientists and spiritual seekers share

It is the choices we make and the actions we take – not where we start out – that determines where we will end up. The above is a quote from my book, “A Boerewors Roll for the Soul – awaken to the magic of the life you love” and
