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.

Tips for Consultants #1: Understand Why You Are There
Thursday, March 11th, 2010
Sometimes, as a consultant, the ‘reason’ you are asked to get involved in a project isn’t the real reason.

My dad’s wisdom – part 1
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010
My Dad is one of life’s great diplomats. His colleagues have consistently valued his calm, principled approach to the drama of working with other people. I’ve learned a lot from his sensible, common sense approach to work – so much the opposite of my own tendency to extremes of thought, effort, and emotion.

Is life trying to tell me something?
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
This morning, I went out for my usual walk with my 3 dogs. Picture the scene: a dark, wet, miserable English morning in January. (As an aside, here’s one of my Dad’s jokes: What’s worse than England in January? England in February!!). Anyway, a drizzly rain was falling, and no matter what direction I walked in, somehow I was still walking straight into the rain. As I headed up the path, face into the rain, I thought to myself ‘in a minute, when I turn into the woods, the rain won’t be hitting me in the face anymore’. Hah! Into the woods, rain in the face. Same with into the field, and the entire walk back. How is it that the rain is coming from everywhere at once?
