Freedom, Confidence, Growth
Freedom, Confidence, Growth.
These are the three words that I chose as a strapline for New Insights Life Coach Training when I took over the reins many years ago.
They are as relevant today as they were then. They neatly summarise the enlightening journey of self-discovery. that one goes through in transformational life coaching, such as that promoted by New Insights Life Coach Training.
That journey starts with gaining the freedom of mind and spirit that comes with a profound new level of self-awareness. From that comes a huge boost in self-belief or confidence, which in turn spurs the personal growth and development that provides meaning and leaves one feeling fulfilled.

The Value of Knowing Your Values
“Values.”
We frequently hear the word bandied around by politicians, leaders and sports coaches in reference to collective values.

Live and Let Live
In late 2009 I did something I had always wanted to do. I wrote a book. Believe it or not, the idea started out, earlier that same year, as a simple joke. Chicken Soup for the Soul One beautiful summer’s day, Jenni (my wife) and I were lounging around our

Five Actions to Make 2019 the Best Ever
In this, the first blog post for 2019, let me start by wishing all subscribers a very happy and prosperous New Year! Cynics will smirk and say that’s a rather hackneyed phrase that we trot out, ever hopefully, at the commencement of yet another year! The point in the earth’s

Know Your Values, Increase Your Happiness
I watched a reality TV show last night featuring couples who are experiencing marital issues. At one point I found myself nodding my head and smiling wryly. One of the partners in a couple featured on the programme was engaged in a one on one discussion with a relationship coach.

Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover
‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’, the wise old adage goes. Its just such a pity that this sage advice goes unheeded so often. I guess we can all lay claim to having experienced being judged or, if we are honest, judging others unfairly for what we see on
