The Evolution of Our Decisions
Thursday, May 20th, 2010
‘We cannot live the afternoon of life according to the program of life’s morning; for what in the morning was true will in evening become a lie’ C.G. Jung
I’ve always been a great believer in the importance of being decisive and committing to taking action. For a long time, I’ve followed the belief that ‘you make a decision, and then you make the decision right’. This is a great way of thinking for getting into motion, conquering hesitation, and being audacious about personal and organisational goals. It’s a great way of approaching beginnings.

The Velvet Gutter
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010
Ever wanted to make a change, but not done anything about it? Ever known exactly what you wanted, yet hesitated when it was offered to you? What about needing to do something, but procrastinating?
Not making changes is one of those weird self-inflicted games we play. I remember, when I was working, harbouring an intense desire to leave and start my own business. This feeling was with me all the time, and it intensified over the – drum roll please – 6 years it took before I did anything about it. 6 years is a LONG time to hold yourself back from something that you really want, so I claim a degree of expertise in this whole business of staying stuck.

How to harness the power of incremental change
Friday, February 19th, 2010
Remember that old joke that goes ‘How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time’? There’s an important nugget contained within it about the power of incremental change.
It can be easy to get overwhelmed when we are facing a complex task, a challenge, or a daunting change that we want to make. Sometimes we treat the elements of our lives like elephants – nothing but a sea of grey. I know that when I do this it is a sure fire way to make little or no progress towards my goals.

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?
