School holidays are about to start in the UK and are entering their final week in South Africa, so for many of you, there will be a little more time to think of something other than work and the daily routine! This week’s article, Thoughts create reality, is inspired by

No matter how serious the challenges you face, your dreams can become real if you put your mind to it. With the 2014 FIFA World Cup currently in full swing, it seems appropriate to share a true story of a footballing nature, that proves this point. Inspired by the FIFA

Have you every stopped to consider that the type of questions you ask yourself can have a significant impact on your life? Your first reaction to this may be that your questions are reserved for other people … but take some time to reflect on this and you might be
The inspiration for this week’s post comes from my Father’s Day gift – a fascinating book called Power vs Force by David Hawkins. Let me be frank – the book’s not an easy read. It struck me as a curious and intriguing mix of spirituality, psychology, quantum physics and applied
Those of you who have read my book will remember the important point that I made early on in Part One: “If free will is the ultimate gift to enable self development and growth, then an open mind is the ultimate tool to unlock the treasure chest in which that

Last week I posted a fascinating article by a young New York life coach who shared her 30 life lessons. It got me thinking about the most important lessons that my involvement with life coaching has taught me. I have to admit, there are a LOT but I’ve chosen what
As you may already have heard, we recently received news that international accreditation has been bestowed on our New Insights Life Coach Training and Certification Programme. This great news represented the culmination of a lot of hard work that went into preparing our submission to the CPD Standards Office in
Does change (or lack of it) leave you feeling anxious or inspired? One of the things that makes life coaching so effective, is the techniques that coaches use to uncover what it is that inspires their clients and to plant seeds in that fertile ground for positive improvement. I use

I can’t tell you how fulfilling it is to receive messages from trained coaches explaining how they are using our New Insights life coaching programme to change the world in relatively small yet very positive and sometimes surprising ways! Last week I was contacted by certified coach, Christel Rohrs, who
When I was younger, I believed that my thoughts were my private domain – that it was safe to think whatever I wanted without affecting anyone negatively. Why? Because I was a separate entity who could affect others only through my actions. For example, I knew too well that acting

The Toltecs, who flourished in central America between the 10th and mid 12th centuries CE, were described by their successors, the Aztecs, as the ‘epitome of civilisation’. It seems only fitting, therefore that we should be guided by their ancient wisdom! Photo of a typical Toltec style vessel by \’Madman\’

Whenever I think of the importance of good communication in our day to day lives, I am reminded of the following powerful quotes that a local magistrate used recently, upon convicting a well known politician of indulging in \’hate speech\’.

Not long ago I issued a certificate to a trainee life coach who had used up all but one week of the 24 months available to her to complete our course. \”At least she made it,\” I thought, speculating that she was one of many of us who specialise in

I have written at length about why I believe life coaching is such a fulfilling and meaningful career but is it really a commercial proposition? I mean we all want a business that makes us feel fulfilled … but if we can’t make enough money from it to survive then

Success! It’s something we all yearn for. But what exactly is it and why do so many of us find it so hard to achieve? The answer lies partly in the way we define ‘success’. You can read my thoughts on this in a previous post titled The Secret to
I remember well the sleepless nights of a student desperately trying to complete a major assignment due in a few days time, silently cursing that I hadn’t started on the project many months ago when it had first been issued. Procrastination is deliberately delaying taking action, even though you fully
