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

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\’

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
