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.

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

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
