How to Measure Success – It’s EASY!
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010
What does success mean to you? I’m interested in leadership, and to me, success has everything to do with leadership – of yourself and others – and self expression. Authentic success is often described as success that feels ‘real’ – meaningful, purposeful success that supports and expands how we see ourselves and others.

Achieve A Balanced Working Life Part 3
Tuesday, August 24th, 2010
What stops you enjoying more balance in your life? I’m choosing the word ‘enjoying’ deliberately, because so many people seem to find the pursuit of balance to be a struggle.
Many of my corporate coaching clients report difficulty in creating and sustaining a good balance between their professional life and their personal life. This tension between work and home is often given the name ‘work/life balance’. I detest this expression because it implies that somehow work is separate from the rest of life. The reality is that our lives are like casseroles, and work is one of the major ingredients.

Achieve A Balanced Working Life Part 2
Thursday, August 19th, 2010
In this series of posts we’ve been exploring the idea of balance: its dynamic nature, the way guilt can block us following our instinct towards balance, and the typical imbalances that my executive coaching clients report. Let’s widen our perspective even further to consider the natural balancing that happens as part of the rhythm of life – and how to work with it.

Achieve A Balanced Working Life Part 1
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010
If you’ve ever worked with a coach, you’ve probably been introduced to the idea of the balance wheel. This is a popular coaching tool that’s used to help you take a snapshot of the major areas of your life: career, health, relationships, recreation etc. A good coach will help you work with your wheel, asking you thought provoking questions to help you discern which areas of your life need attending to in order to bring about more balance.

Using The Balance Wheel To Achieve Greater Satisfaction
Thursday, August 12th, 2010
Balance wheels are a coaching technique that can help you to assess the condition of your professional and personal life.
By using the wheel, you’ll be able to identify leverage points for creating better balance, greater happiness and satisfaction, and more of what you want. You can hear more about working with the balance wheel in my podcast, Getting The Balance Right.

Got the Blues?
Tuesday, July 20th, 2010
Today, I noticed that a number of my coaching clients seemed a little down. Some of them shared downright sadness. Since I’ve been feeling a little down myself, it got me wondering if there’s something in the air today (apart from pollen!) creating a collective case of the blues.
